Bridesmaid Swatches are in! Now, what blue do I use?

Hello Ladies,

First things first, I finally have all my swatches that I ordered now!! I was waiting on the David's Bridal ones but they finally came in last week.

Now, I ordered 3 colours: the purple is called Regency (Both DB and Azazie) and it's definitely the purple I want to use. I also ordered two blues: a Malibu (DB) and Pool (Azazie) colour and a Spa (both DB and Azazie) since I didn't know which one I'd like better.

And I still don't know, after looking at the swatches for a week now I'm stumped. The Malibu/pool is closet to my vision but I like the warmth that the Spa colour brings to the palette. My ideal colour would be somewhere in between the two, but can't do that.

I'm leaning more towards the Pool/Malibu hue but I'm here for some opinions/input! I'm doing mix and matched with my bridal party (2 in blue, 2 in purple, like the images below) so I'm trying to decide:

Which blue should we go with? Attached are 2 inspiration pics using both pool and spa colours. Our colours are teal/turquoise and purple, and we're doing a peacock theme. Wedding is in October but getting married in a tropical atrium.

Pool and Regency (ignoring the black shawls)

    Just thinking back to your shoes, they looked very teal in the photo, what about adding another colour - azazie has a Aurora teal that might match well, and each bridesmaid having a different colour of the peacock?

    Well you got me hooked on Azazie! Had not heard of them before but checked them out after reading this discussion, and ordered some swatches! Super stoked. Got my MoH to look through their online catalouge as well, so sounds like my BM's are into this as an option! Which is nice since a) they all live out of town in different spots, b) I'm buying the dresses so this is a nice price conscious option. Can't wait for the swatches to come in Smiley laugh.

    Sounds like Spa is getting the votes in. Smiley tongue

    That is awesome. Customer service is by far the most important thing when it comes to online. I will have to check this out!

    So far so good ! I ordered from them and just got my dresses in, and had a couple questions. They have been really helpful and get back to you quickly. Also if anyone orders custom sizing and needs alterations they reimburse some of the cost.

    They have a 10 day return policy (has to be started in that time frame) for standard sizes. One of my bridesmaids is out of town for 2 weeks and the dresses came earlier than expected.. I just questioned what would happen if there were issues with her dress. They responded the same day to tell me they have extended my return window to 3 weeks just in case I need it. Smiley smile

    I heard about it from Wedding Wire actually! I've looked into reviews and the ones I've seen have been really positive. They do have good customer service which is a plus!

    That would be awesome if you could send photos/pricing! I heard the custom sizing fits really well, even the standard sizing too!

    I know my bridesmaids are price-conscious so knowing how pricing compares will be a huge bonus!

    Pool and Regency! There is just something about those colours that look better together than the other ones.

    I have never heard of Azazie until now! But if they are an online store, hopefully their customer service is good if you have a problem, that would be my only concern doing online ordering.

    I have heard several horror stories about Davids Bridal. :/ Them losing dresses, ordering the wrong ones, wrong color or the wrong size... etc.

    That's why I avoided it. Plus I preferred the selection at azazie.

    After the fitting party I can let you know mine, and all my bridemaids honest feedback?

    I had two that ordered standard sizes, and 3 that ordered custom. So a good insight in to both, and two different colours as well as matching ties. All the girls ordered a different style as well. I can even send you some pictures.

    I can also let you know what the average price worked out to after exchange, shipping and customs. Smiley smile

    The Azazie Spa is really nice!

    I'm hesitant to use DB because I had so many problems with ordering swatches so I don't want any issues for the actual dresses. But my mom doesn't like the idea of using an online place, even though I've heard nothing but good things about Azazie!

    I like the Spa from Azazie alot. The one from Davids... I don't know why, but its not my favorite.

    I feel like the azazie swatch is closer to that middle ground you were looking for.


    Side note... I ordered my bridesmaids dresses from Azazie.

    They just came in in the mail Friday and I love them! No one has got to try them on yet, but they look great and good quality. The try on party is this weekend. Smiley smile

    Pool was my first choice too, but I'm so undecided lol. It fits more with any existing decor we have but with spa I'd have to get newer stuff to match better.

    I like Pool better! I find there is still contract between them but it's not as harsh?

    I think Spa would be nicer to fit your theme. Love the pop of colour

    Right?! I wasn't a fan on the websites but I ordered the swatch just to see and it's definitely nicer in person.

    I really like that Spa colour. I think it's got a certain richness to it that will suit your vibrant theme really well!

    Spa has definitely grown on me! When I ordered the swatches I was 90% sure I'd go with malibu/pool but I find the hue too cool - would be nice for a winter wedding though!

    When I got the swatches, I was at a 50/50 split between the two blues lol

    If there was a colour that was in-between the pool-spa colour that would be the ultimate solution! I am also stubborn on the 2 and 2 dress colours although going all purple would solve the problem too lol. Smiley tongue

    I agree that pool/malibu looks more like sky blue, especially next to the purple

    I would go for the Spa & Regency as well. After looking at the two inspiration pics, I agree with the warm that the Spa brings to the color scheme and makes me feel more tropical Smiley winking

    My fav. colour shade would be top right on the pic of swatches and the Spa and Regency blue picture. With that being said - then go with the purple from there as well to make it easy?

    It looks the most like what you are going for - the other blues are too much like sky blue IMO.
