I have always loved Tiffany blue, not because of the brand, but simply for the perfect blend of blue and green. When we started planning, I went in really wanting this color without realizing what a challenge it would be to actually find the color. For those of you who don't know, Tiffany blue is actually a copyrighted color which is part of the reason why its so difficult to find. Since I am a bit stubborn I've done a lot of research on the color and I hope this information will help!
Actual color code:
Tiffany blue: 60DFE5
Bridesmaid dresses:
Another Bride posted on Weddingbee a list of designers who have the Tiffany color (or something close) and I added a few more.

La Femme- Aqua/Aquamarine
Bill levkoff- Glacier
David's bridal has a pool which they will claim is close, and in store the color swatch does look close, but I've seen how pool looks in pictures and it's really is much more blue that expected.
I personally recommend asking to see the color swatches before even trying on dresses that way you and the girls don't fall in love with a dress that you can't have. Also once you have the bridesmaid dresses you officially have your shade of Tiffany to base the colors for the rest of the wedding decorations.
Decorations
It's easy to get wrapped up in buying things online and then realizing once they come in that it's more of a mint green instead of a Tiffany blue. Do some leg work. Both Michaels and Jo Ann fabrics have large amounts of fabric and ribbons that are Tiffany. Wyla inc. fabrics has a Tiffany in various satin, tulle, etc
and is available in both stores.
Invitations and Paper
If you are getting your invites professionally done then confirming the color with your designer is all you need. Again, having a color swatch from the dresses for them to work with will make everyone's lives easier.
But if you are DIY bride like me, sometimes it's difficult to find a Tiffany cardstock without breaking the bank. If you have the time, Summer time clearance at places like michael's and archivers are your best chances to get that Tiffany blue pallet. If you missed that window, just keep watching for coupons to bring those prices down. And when printing be sure to print a few testers to get your printer settings correct.
As I find more, I'll post more on the lovely world of Tiffany.
