I am having a really hard time picking my bridesmaid dresses...?

Ok I am getting married in June and my colors are pink and brown. I want to find a dress that is a light pink color and tealength. NOTHING else will do.

I really really like this dress but I think that the color pink may be too dark. I also know that the computer doesn't show an accurate sample due to the lights and all that. I still just think it may be too dark.

I also like this dress but I don't know if I really want it to be my bridesmaid dresses.

I also like this one too (in Cosmopolitan) but I'm just not loving it either as my bridesmaid dress.

So basically I want opinions and by showing all of them to you I was hoping that maybe somebody could even find one that you think I might like for me. I also want something that my girls will be able to wear again. Thanks!

Update:

All of my bridesmaids keep telling me that it is my wedding and that they will wear whatever I want them to wear. But when I show them something that they don't like that's when they speak up. So they are all pretty much no help. And every dress that I look at I keep asking myself will it look good on all of them. And I don't want to do the mix and match dresses. I want them to all match.

Update 2:

Oh yeah and I don't want something traditional. Like something that is on every website and that you see at like every wedding. I want something real modern and out of the ordinary.

    Definately number two. It suits your colours and the girls could wear it again. Your dress looks great too.

    Don't let the bridesmaids pick too much, it's your day so pick what you want.

    Have fun!

    I like the color on three. I don't care for two much. It just isn't wedding type for me. But I like the look of one. Really summer wedding style.

    If you are set on one of these then I would go for the cheaper one if the bridemaids have to buy of offer to buy the shoes if you get one more costly. (Trying to help save a little for the Bridesmaids.)

    Or you could combine your favorite parts of the dresses with someone that has sewn a long time and make the dresses just how you want. You have plenty of time to create a dress that is just right.

    Congrats and good luck. I hope you have the day of your dreams

    EDIT- now that I know what your dress is I think I would definetly go with three. That will compliment you very nice. Good luck.

    Source(s): I made three bridesmaids dresses in 8 hours with no AC and it was like 100 degrees in the house. The girls looked fabulous and the dress were very nice. Just don't wait til the last second to get something done.

    it truly is difficult! in spite of the undeniable fact that the first ingredient you may evaluate s if the girls folk are all round an identical weight, top? I honestly have by no ability heard of the bride finding out to purchase the bridesmaids dresses yet it really is as a lot as you. First you want to %. a colour, then evaluate the variety, have you ever considered letting the three of them artwork jointly and %. the variety????? I had the concern that my bridesmaids were all diverse sizes and shapes. i ultimately stated it truly is the colour and advised them to satisfy me on the bridal save and %. some thing out, it labored and all of us become satisfied and that i had 7 ladies. And realistically what number positioned on there bridesmaid dresses lower back. do basically no longer ignore that they could positioned on those all day and nighttime. Make it gentle!!!!

    The second one is so elegant and beautiful, the first and third are OK, but they seem a little prom-ish to me. The second one, unlike almost every bridesmaid dress I have ever seen (and worn) looks like it could definitely be worn again. I wouldn't worry too much about wearing them again anyway, every bridesmaid knows that it's usually a wear once kind of purchase anyway! By the way I love pink/mocha together, those are the colors for my bridal shower!

    The second dress is the most appealing to me...it incorporates both your color choices and it is something that might possibly be worn again to a cocktail party.

    Don't be way too picky about it though...you're not the one who has to wear it. Get your girls together and see what they think...or at the very least, your maid of honor. Pick a dress they'll feel confortable in that is affordable and tasteful...and hopefully something they might wear again (although NO BM dress I've ever bought has ever been worn more than once!).

    Don't turn in to a bridezilla and end up with your girls hating you and wanting to crucify you on your wedding day rather than help you.

    I'm guessing people are not going to like what I have to say, but I'm going to say it anyway...

    Forget trying to get a dress your bridesmaids will wear again. It's not going to happen. Find a dress that will look good in your wedding pictures and work with your dress. Your bridesmaids don't seem to care what you pick out for them, so choose your favorite dress and go with it.

    Lots of pretty stuff here, I think.

    Instead of giving you links to specific dresses, I figure to let you look through sites. Obviously you know what you like alot more than people who don't know you.

    Personally out of the ones you posted, I like the 2nd one and it could definately be worn elsewhere. But I do like the style of the other two better. If I had to pick from those three, I'd go with the 3rd one. Is your dress strapless? The strapless looks nice on the 3rd one.

  • I dont kkow where you live but im getting married June 1st and i got my gown and bridesmaids dresses form a place called Alfred Angelo. My colors ar pink and black. There dresses are a light pink. Its called Tearose. Its beautiful. Go check it out.

    I love the second one... but what I am doing is haveing all my girls in different dresses but all in the same colors, I got my girls dresses from Watters and Bill Levkoff. They both have websites, check them out... but if its between the three I would go with the middle that is georgous.... but if you like them all have all of your girls be different but in the same colors that will look great.

    I like the second one best.. it looks more classical, but I can see what style are you after., so Ill chose the first one.

    really depends on the time of your wedding and flowers,but if you really are having that much trouble ask your maid of honours what they would like to wear or what suits them best

    good luck and congrats!!
