Bridesmaid dress troubles

I think it's definitely unique and pretty! However... if you can't get past the colour, could you get dresses you prefer yourself? Or ask if YOU can return them, with their receipts?

I agree the dress is pretty and fits the vision even if it's not the exact color you had in mind. definitely add some pretty red and orange flowers to the greenery bouquet and it will look fantastic!

The only photo that looks really brown is the one that is super backlit (so the photo exposure is off). I think the color looks really pretty in the full length photo of the girl wearing it in a house, and the photos of it hanging on a hanger look similar.

Whatever sort of processing/editing your photographer will also impact how the color looks in your photos. If you are using a photographer with a "light and airy high key" style the dress will likely look a bit softer and more muted/dull in color, whereas if they use richer and more saturated tones it will likely look a bit more red/rusty with warmer, richer undertones. Light and time of day will also impact the color as well - if you do late day, sunset or "golden hour" shots the dresses will have a beautiful rusty warm hue to them, but they'll likely look browner during noon-midday light or in overcast conditions. Light will ALWAYS impact color, so you will never find a fabric that looks exactly the same indoors and outdoors and at all times of day.

I feel like many brides get stuck on finding a very specific color, but the reality is that the color you see when you look at a dress on a mannequin or a swatch of fabric will appear different based on factors you typically cannot 100% control. So the "perfect" color is really a myth; find something that fits your vision closely but don't get stuck on it being exactly right, because you'll never be satisfied if you are trying to meet an impossible goal. Before giving up on these dresses, bring them outside and snap a few photos at sunrise or sunset, have your maids try them on on a sunny day, or even try snapping photos with some different cameras/phones.
