Teal, Carribean, Capri, Aqua or Lagoon Jim Hjelm BM Dresses

If anyone has used any of these colors or has a an actual picture of a dress in any of these pictures, please post! I am trying to figure out my BM dress situation once and for all. Everytime I like a dress it doesn't come in the color I like! TIA

I looked at these colors too (I'm also doing Jim Hjelm dresses). I couldn't find pictures online, but two places I visited had samples for most of those colors in person- Bridal Couture of Manhasset and RK Bridal in NYC.
The caribbean is very bright, the teal is just a little darker than caribbean. Lagoon is very light, almost sky blue. Hope that helps!

i had to go through the same thing. finally decided on teal for the girls. just an fyi, jim hjelm lets you change the material of the dress so that you can have all the dresses be in the same color. for example, my maid of honor has her dress changed from aa silk faced taffeta to just silk for an extra $40. you may want to consider that. also, check out here comes the bridesmaid in manhattan. carries the whole jim hjelm line as well as lazaro, alvina valenta, watters and watters.

I cant find jim hjelm in those colors but if you go into my album look at the color of my bridesmaid dress it might be similar to what your looking for.

Is that per dress? I couldn't ask everyone tp pay $40 more because I think the dresses are already expensive enough! Ugh!

you can usually get them cheaper if you call around. my bridesmaids are ordering their dresses from rk bridal, which usually discounts jim hjelm dresses. you can get them even cheaper if you go through their no frills program.
