    well, it's not a REAL problem..... but I do need your opinions please! My wedding isn't until August, so I haven't ordered the Bridesmaids dresses yet, but have found one that I love and the Bridesmaids love as well.

    I wanted my BM's dresses to be Turquoise. The dresses I love are from Davids bridal and the closest color they had to turquoise was their aqua(Pool) color. I thought the color was somewhat what i wanted, but not that pretty turquoise color I had been envisioning, it was more of a blue than a turquoise... but I was going to go with it because it was the closest color they had to the turquoise without it being teal(which i don't want).........

    then they came out with new spring colors... and the dress i want has a new option which I'm quite fond of. The new color (Mermaid, it is called) I like it a little bit greener looking than I want it to be, but it is alot closer to the turquoise than the Pool color was. 

    So here is the problem.. do I go with the pool which is bluer than I want, or the Mermaid which is greener than I want?

    Well, Since i can't post the pictures here is the link to the dress:

    I would call mermaid a teal color, so if you want to avoid teal, I'd go with pool.

    Also- something to keep in mind.  How do the colors photograph?

    I got a BM dress at David's for my sister's wedding.  It was a blue-green color.  However, in all the picture it looks blue!

    I would suggest taking pictures of the dresses in different light, w/and w/o flash, etc. and make sure that it photographs how you expect it to.

    It would stink if the color didn't translate in the pictures!

    Good luck!

    I agree with Rosy about the mermaid and teal color.  However I liked both pool and mermaid.

    I have seen the pool in person, but didn't photograph it. I haven't seen the Mermaid yet, but she described it as a turquoise on the phone. I need to go and look at it and take pictures (good suggestion Roseychicklet), but Davids is about an hour from me, so I haven't had the chance to do so just yet!
