    I'm trying to decide on bridesmaid dresses. I have 5 bridesmaids and I want them to wear different styles, whatever they feel comfortable in. I got my dress last weekend at Priscialla of Boston and fell in love with their BM dresses in the Mulberry color. The only problem is that these dresses will run about $210. I know that a few of my maids won't have a problem spending that much on a dress that they can definitely wear again, but I feel bad asking. I was in a wedding for one of my bridesmaids and I only paid about $120. Priscilla does have a Vineyard Collection and those dresses run about $170. The only problem is that they don't come in the Mulberry. There is another beautiful color called Smokey Amethyst. Do you think these colors go together? I'm not into the whole matchy matchy wedding thing so they don't have to be perfect. Just as long as they compliment eachother.

    The picture with my wedding dress is the Mulberry color and the other one is the purple shade. The colors look very different on the website so I'm going to have my friend (who work at Priscilla) email me a picture.

    Let me know what you think...thanks!

    I don't know what the Mulberry looks like, but if the idea I have in my mind is right they will look just fine together!!

    Ok so I'm having problems loading the other picture. Here is one from the website. Keep in mind that it is a deeper shade. Like a raspeberry.

    I like them.  I think that the darker of the two tones the Mulberry down some.  And since they are what looks like the same color family I think they will look fine.  I really like the dress styles too. Even though they are different, they still complement eachother with the embelishmensts being on the same side and  having similar cuts/necklines.

    I think the colors compliment one another, but I think the raspberry dress outshines the other.  The girls wearing that brighter color will pop in the pictures, while the other girls will blend into the background a bit. 

    For what it's worth, I wouldn't re-wear the first dress.  I would DEF. re-wear the second.

    I think they're fine! The raspberry one really pops more, but big scheme of things no big deal.

    I'd rewear both. They are both way hella cute.

    My friend took a picture of the dresses together with my dress. She thinks that it's too many colors but I actually kind of like it. What do you think?

    I agree with foolforfood....except that I'd rewear the first color before the second! :) But either would make lovely pillows!
