    I am having a difficult time visualizing my wedding colors and also could use help deciding on an accent color.  Here is a picture of my bridesmaid's dress (the one on the right):

    My lovely bridesmaid dresses - Would LOVE suggestions! (Pics included) :  wedding dresses bridesmaids impressions Bridesmaid Dress

    The bridesmaids will be wearing this Impression Bridal gown (pictured above) in what they call "purple", material is taffeta.  I am having two "usherettes" who I would like to also wear this dress but in a different color.  Having a hard time deciding which color they should wear.  Here is a link to the dress on Impression's site and the colors it's available in.

    FYI:  My dress is ivory taffeta! :)

    Any suggestions would be great!!!  OHH and if anyone has pictures to share of their girls in this dress that would be amazing!  Thanks bees!

    @techie:  I probably should have specified a few things.  The tuxes will be black or charcoal so brown is out.  Also, our wedding is in September if that helps...  Thank you for the reply!

    I think these are the ones that you said didn't come in large enough sizes--I know for a fact that Alfred Angelo has a gown very similar to the one on the right in the above picture--and in a burnt orange color like you are looking for! Check them out =)

    @marylandnurse: It's actually this gown on this thread :) http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/for-brides-with-plus-sized-busty-bridesmaids-help

    Sorry for the threadjack! Black tuxes are a conundrum. :/ Hmm...

    @pengoala:  I have thought about using the "olive" or possibly "peacock".

    @jpalm13:  I have also considered the "silver" and yes I agree she could use a "sammich" haha!!

    why not just a slightly different purple - the lavender, lilac, aubergine or eggplant?

    I'd go for a darker silver color.

    @PrincessNali: The dresses were originally around $189 but were on sale for $170 or something like that.  Kind of expensive but I am letting them wear whatever flats/heels they want which saves a lot!

    @CupCakeMeg: I would love to use a charcoal color but the dress doesn't come in anything darker than the silver (which I need to go see the color swatch again to see how dark it is).  The Impression website shows the color swatches but the are WAY different looking in person.

    @sallamino: LOVE that idea.  I will have to look in to that!  Thank you!!!

    Anyone else have a difficult time picturing their bridesmaid dresses in the color they chose? Hmmm

    Ladies I think I've decided to go with the lighter purple "grape".  Thank you all for your help.  I would still love to see pictures if anyone's bridesmaids wore this dress...
