I can't find mint bridesmaid dresses ANYWHERE! HELP

lavaskin · November 2013

I have gone to 3 different bridal shops so far with multiple designers at each in search of a TRUE mint colored bridesmaid dress. The colors that they show me are either a loud aqua color or a sage green. Neither are mint obviously. Even if I do a Google search, it gives me the same results. I have found the exact colors I am looking for- but they are ALL on Etsy from random shops in China. And those Etsy shops seem like scams since they say 2 week turn around and the places have only been open for 2 months and nobody gives them reviews. Any suggestions??

Unless you post a picture, no one here will know what you mean by mint green.

If finding an actual dress in the color is challenging, can you use fabric from the craft store in the ideal color as a sash on a neutral dress (navy, grey, black)?

I would think long and hard about mint because it really doesn't look good on many skin tones and I would guess that you really want your bridesmaids to look and feel beautiful.

Sorry, this is my first post so I didn't know pictures were possible... Sorry if they are huge because I can't figure out how to size them.

This is the true mint that I want:

These are the colors that show up when I search for "mint" dresses:

or this one is a color they keep showing me too:

And as far as the whole skin tone thing goes, all of my girls tan easily and look good in just about any color. I'm thinking long and hard right now about the whole "mint" bridesmaid dress thing because of the fact that it is impossible to find. I was going to do mint and grey colors for my wedding and thought maybe I could just put the girls in grey dresses but the GM are wearing light grey suits and that would be just too much grey. So unless I can get turned in a good direction, I think I will be changing my colors to navy, grey and green.

You're going to have a lot easier time coordinating navy than mint green. I had my two BMs in navy and they chose their own dresses off the rack and looked gorgeous. I HIGHLY recommend this approach since it makes it much less stressful for you and them.

Did you try Alfred Sung in the color Coastal or Fresh?

daveANDkristen · November 2013

I'm not a ton of help because I'm sure you've already tried more spots than I would be able to think of (DB, Alred Angelo, etc). However, have you tried looking for mint dresses or just mint bridesmaid dresses? My bridesmaids wore dresses from Torrid and they looked awesome. Check these out:

This is mint at David's Bridal. It looks pretty close to the color that you posted. I don't know how many of their dresses come in this color, but it wouldn't hurt to look.

Dessy's "spa" looks pretty close to what you are looking for.

Also, try Mori Lee's "Mint"

I like the Alfred Sung in Fresh, I hadn't seen that one!

I have looked at: Alfred Angelo, Allure, Bari Jay, Bill Levkoff, Mori Lee and a few others at another store.

I refuse to go to David's Bridal after the bad experiences everyone I know and me personally have had with them. Everything from ordering the wrong dress (and the dress that was supposed to be ordered was then out of stock before the wedding I was in) to horrible customer service. But I was so desperate I looked online and they don't seem to carry a mint color.

lavaskin · November 2013

The Mori Lee mint online looks almost right but I saw it in person and it is more like a baby blue.

I'm having "Weddington Way" send me a few color swatches from different people. I found a pretty Donna Morgan dress and it is the perfect color mint but their sizing stops at 18 and one of my BM is bigger than that.

I would change it to the navy, gray and green because i dont think youre going to find the mint youre looking for.

southernbelle0915 · November 2013

I would take a step back and think about how much the actual shade matters. If it's really that important to you, nothing but a very specific shade of mint will do, and just shopping is stressing you out... I think it's time to change to another color (navy, grey, green). Incorporate mint elsewhere. Think the ribbon that ties the BM bouquets together, or using mint in your centerpieces, or petals that your FG throws (if having one).

I'm not sure, but I was in Davids Bridal yesterday and they mentioned that they are currently adding a bunch of new dress colors for fall, including various shades mint. So, you may want to suck it up and go in their store to ask about it.

How about this? It's the Kennedy Blue line from Weddingshoppeinc.com, they have multiple styles available in this color. They do online sales if you don't live in Minnesota, I ordered my bridesmaid dresses online from them and it was fine.

Correction: Minnesota, not Michigan- whoops!

courtneythesquid · November 2013

Also this Angelina Faccenda... available at the same shop... Mori Lee, Bari Jay, Wtoo, and Allure look to have a similar color too, and probably more... this is a good page to browse multiple designers in one place. Good luck!

Did you try searching "aqua"? Because that's what your version of mint looks like to me, unless it's my monitor.

I was also thinking about mint for my bridesmaids dresses and I found some good options at target online. it was the right mint I've been looking for as well, check it out-

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions! I think I have some better options for mint now and a decision to make if I want to stick with it or change my colors...

I love those Target ones! They're the PERFECT mint, just the shade I was looking for.

Stuck in box.

I was just about to suggest Target, my colors are shades of purple but they have a beautiful mint there. Good luck!

I think you can try Jasmine Bridal. I am looking for the similar color BM dresses and the bridal salon showed me that its actually called "sea glass" green. You may need to make a special order, and only certain material carries this color.

David's bridal has two new colors that might work. They aren't on the website yet but if you go to a DB store they might have them. One is called spa (think tiffany blue but slightly greener) and all the dresses are gonna come in that color. Another is called mint (I think it'd be perfect) but it only comes in lace dresses.

thelastdreamer · November 2013

JK. They have now put them on the website.
