While we were at David’s Bridal looking for my dress, we had some extra time to look at some bridesmaids dresses. Dani and Gaby (my sisters) found one that I think might have potential, and it comes in colors very close to our original color scheme.
Here are the dresses from the website. The purple one is a much prettier color in person (more plum, less royal purple).
Here are the dresses on my sisters. Keep in mind Gaby’s dress is about 5 sizes too big. I think it looks better with the bows tied in the back rather than on the side.
Here is a close-up of the colors. I think they’re really rich and will look great since we’re having a fall wedding, without being the standard reds, oranges, browns that most people use during the fall season.
I was originally going to let all the girls choose a dress style that they liked the best in the same color/fabric. Now I’m thinking it would be cool to do all three colors, and the girls could choose the color they prefer (as long as there was a mix of all of them, or at least 2 of them). Here’s an idea of what it might look like. Again, the purple on here is much different. Please forgive the cheesy virtual wedding photo!
The dresses are pretty reasonably priced, at $135 each, and would look good on a variety of shapes and sizes. They are definitely in the running for our wedding!
Are you opting to mix it up for your bridal party? What combinations of different colors do you think look nice?

I am using that dress for my ladies!!! They are all in black though. The girls LOVE them. Very flattering to different body types and in balck, something they will actually wear again. Love love love them.
I’m letting the bridesmaids choose any dress they want in shades of blue, but I have veto power. 
I think the three colors you have together will look fabulous!
your sisters are so cute!! I think you can pull off the colors! They’re really rich and fun.
These are great colors to pull through, especially for fall! Love it! I’m loving the blue.
A great way for everyone to feel a little bit of ownership over their dress as well by choosing a color. You might want to have some one-on-one conversations with the ladies about what color they might want before a big trip to the bridal salon to pick them out…things can turn ugly fast 
I love these colors! Those dresses were on the top of my list for a while. Like Miss Bruschetta, I love the jewel tones!
I love all the colors! Those jewel tone, peacock colors are always so beautiful.
The colors are great! I like the dresses on your sisters, too.
Those dresses are so nice! I was just thinking today about peacock themes, and those colours would be perfect!
I agree with Mis Bruschetta, the colors are rich and will look great for a fall wedding!
I tend ot go for simple, we are just doing navy on the bridal party, but I always love seeing the color combinations other brides come up with. This is the first I have seen of this combinaiton and it looks great!
I love David’s Bridal Website because you are able to put together your bridal party and see how all the colors and dresses go togehter….
LOVE LOVE LOVE your colors!!!
beautiful choice! i love BM dresses that are affordable AND can be worn again!
I love the colors. In Brazil, they let the bridesmaids pick their own dress and color.
those colors are to die for, can’t wait to see more matching elements!
Super cute! I love the colors together… and of course the coordinating groomsmen
Love the colors!
I love the idea of different colored dresses!! I really wanted to do that for ours, but we ultimately decided it would be best for them to all wear the same color. If you buy your dress at DB, then they get $20 of their dresses, and if the guys side goes to MW Tux I think they get $30 off a tux. Once you buy your dress there, your eligible for a good bit of discounts. Love the virtual wedding BTW
Beautiful colors! I don’t love strapless dresses for younger girls though. It looks ok on your older sister but I’d have the younger one in something more age appropriate. That’s just my opinion though. Happy shopping!
What did you use for the virtual pic? That’s awesome!!!
I love your color choices, great colors that really pop!! And you’re right, they are unique to fall and I think they’ll look really great!!
@Jessica: My sister will be 14 and a freshman in HS by the time we get married. She only looks like she’s 10!
@MightySapphire:
I used the David’s Bridal “Dress Your Wedding” tool to get the virtual photo.

I love those dresses! They’re perfect and would require little to no alterations!
I love that dress and those colors together! I’ve seen the dress in that green color and I loved the look of that bridal party! It really does look good on everyone.
Love your idea to use all three colors! They go really well together and it’s so unique to have different colors for your BM dresses. I love it! I only have my MOH so it was easy, I told her to pick whatever dress she wanted some sort of red or purple.
the colors look gorgeous together and i love that they scream FALL without oranges, reds and yellows.
I LOVE your color combo! Those three dresses look beautiful together, and so original- go for it! Very very chic! If I were you I would consider putting your flowergirl in a printed dress that incorporates all three colors. I think it’s better when the bride is the only one wearing white, so you can really stand out!!
I’m so excited that we have the EXACT same color palette!! I’ve not seen it in a wedding before, so I’m looking forward to seeing your plans!
