    Hi girls!  First timing posting, but I know ya'll can help me out cause you're awesome like that.  I am having the worst time trying to find bridemaid dresses to go well with my dress, everything we've tried on the style looks so out of place next to it.  I am having a September garden wedding at an antebellum plantation.  Ideally I'd like them to be aqua, tea-length, and reasonably priced.  Maybe some fresh eyes would help-Any suggestions??? (P.S. Let me know if my pictures aren't posting, I'm kinda technically challenged!)  Thanks all Help finding bridesmaid dresses :  wedding bridesmaid dress Icon Wink Help finding bridesmaid dresses :  wedding bridesmaid dress Dress+001 Dress Front Help finding bridesmaid dresses :  wedding bridesmaid dress Dress+003 Dress Back

    First, your dress is beautiful, what a fantastic figure!!! Have checked out Bella Bridesmaid??? www.bellabridesmaid.com. There's one in Atlanta. You really could do so many different types of great looking dresses. I went to the one here in San Francisco and had an idea of what i wanted to to (mines tricky cause each girl i want to wear a different dress and different shade of color) They were super helpful and knowledgable.

    Have you tried looking at www.alfredangelo.com or www.davidsbridal.com? I know that with the alfred angelo dresses, you can order them online from a website like www.houseofbrides.com and save some money.  They have the sizing charts on their website, and you can just order the size according to the largest measurement and then have the dress altered.

    Hope this helps!

    I guess I should have been more specific, what style of dress would work here?  I have almost a mermaid shape to my dress, but can't find bridesmaid dresses to mirror this, boo.

     I absolutely love your dress!! 

    Watters has some really nice bridesmaids dresses... I think they're affodable as I know the wedding gowns are moderatly priced. 

    They have alot of stlyes available in many colors... I like this one in the "Tiffany" color.

    I just chose dresses from Dessy www.dessy.com . They have knee length, teal green dresses that I bet would look great in a garden-type setting! My styles are 2721 & 6518.

    Dessy Bridesmaid Style 2056, my dress is somewhat mermaid-shaped as well, and I picked that dessy dress that has a similar style to mine, maybe it'll help you envision your bridesmaid dresses.  Your dress is absolutely stunning on you!

    i just decided (i think) to go with aria dresses- www.ariadress.com

    they are very pretty, and come in all styles-- my girls will get the same color and length, but then get whatever style they want.

    i'd say don't worry about matching the mermaid style-- it's a style that really only works on someone with your fab figure! i know that i personally wouldn't be comfortable in a mermaid 'maids dress.

    ah, I had a completely different vision than all the other gals here on the boards when I saw your dress! Because you have such a pretty bateau lacey neckline, I was envisioning your bridesmaids in more of a higher neckline to complement you. Like these:

    http://watters.com/product.php?style=7453

    http://watters.com/product.php?style=7742

    http://watters.com/product.php?style=816

    Or if you wanted a dress that mimics more of the fit & flare silhouette of your gown, maybe something like these:

    I just wanted to say what  pretty dress you have!!!  The other girls have better BM dress suggestions than I can think of.  I do like Kim Hjelm BM dresses though. :)

    Have you checked out Target.com?

     

    I don't know what type of budget you are on, but there are some cute aqua colored pencil dresses (think mermaid but cocktail length) that are on super-sale right now.

     We just got them for my best friend's wedding and are planning on altering them to just below the knee.  The color is perfect, and not only that, they are on sale for $9.99 right now! 

     We already received them in the mail, and the quality is as nice as any other bm dress.  :)

    Hope this helps someone!

    This dress is cute & tea length.  It comes in a bunch of colors.  The lace would complement the lace on your gown.  Just a thought!
