Help pick a bridesmaid dress!!

We went shopping today and compared the two bridesmaids dresses I like... with four girls, there was a split tie on which dress they liked better, and I can't make a decision at all...

Here is a pic of my dress, and the two that we can't decide on...

First dress is my wedding gown
Second dress is Eden Maids in cranberry
Third dress is Jordan in red
Fourth dress is Jordan in cranberry

I have pix of one of my friends in the dresses but one of them was a little big so it's hard to get a good idea...

Thanks in advance!

Re: Help pick a bridesmaid dress!!

I love the red dress. I saw this photo on verdi's website. I love how the white bouquets go with the red dress and vice versa. I love looking at that website for ideas.
I couldn't get the pic to work.

Re: Help pick a bridesmaid dress!!

My girls are wearing similiar Jordan dresses ( material wise) and the cranberry (my color) is so nice. It has complimented all of my girls (actually changed to that color because of how well it looked on everyone)

So I vote for the last dress. I dont like the sleeves so much on #1 and the cherry color is a little too bright. I have a cranberry swatch and it matches all my red stuff ( ribbon etc) almost perfect so you wont have an off color to try and match if you choose it.

Re: Help pick a bridesmaid dress!!

Well, so far 5 of 8 like the Jordan.... and I think I have decided on the cranberry so it looks like that might be the dress! I might check out one or two more places but there really is so little with sleeves I don't think I'll find anything else...

Thanks for your help everyone! You guys confirmed what most of my BMs did!

Re: Help pick a bridesmaid dress!!

love the jordan in cranberry. the jordan has the same feel as your wedding gown without being to similar. the first bm dress may be too much like your dress, imo.

Re: Help pick a bridesmaid dress!!

I tried on the Jordan dress for my friend's wedding. It looks great on all body types! Also, the soft flaps of materials at the shoulders hide a mulititude of arm sins!

This is a great dress and was actually pretty comfortable. Also, the material is not likely to show sweat rings around the armpits, unlike other dresses I've seen/worn.

I'm not sure... I was actually thinking of getting them sweatshits that said 'BRIDESMAID' on the back, with their name and date on the front that they could wear... it wouldn't be fancy, but it would be cute!!

Thanks for your opinions everyone!
