Right, so your VMs are on the same bridge group now (at Layer2 of OSI).

Have you verified connectivity to the VMs' default gateway?
Does the ARP (address resolution protocol) process succeed?
arp -a | grep <Default_Gateway_IP_here>
You may not have a NIC connected to your physical network in that bridge group.
If so you need to modify your network-scripts to make that happen automatically on boot.
You do not necessarily need an IP address on your bridge interface unless the VM host is acting as a router (default gateway).
Here's an example:
~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XX_br0
DEVICE=XX_br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
_ONBOOT_=yes
DELAY=0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
You can temporarily add an interface to the bridge group for testing purposes though.
brctl addif <bridge> <interface>
Check that they're using your static bridge. 'virsh dumpxml <vm>' will
have a section like:
====
<interface type='network'>
<mac address='52:54:00:71:20:fa'/>
<source network='bcn_bridge1' bridge='bcn_bridge1'/>
<target dev='vnet2'/>
<model type='e1000'/>
<alias name='net2'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05'
function='0x0'/>
</interface>
====
That tells you that the interface is MAC '52:54:00:71:20:fa' is "plugged
in" to the bridge 'bcn_bridge1'. If that doesn't connect to the right
bridge, then you need to change it (virt-manager has a simple to use GUI
for this, or you can use 'virsh edit <vm>' if you're comfortable editing
XML).
An additional command to run to verify your Ethernet bridge(s) operation is:
brctl show
brctl show <bridge>
~]# brctl show XX_br0
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
XX_br0 8000.00151713fdbc no p1p1
vnet0
vnet1
vnet11
vnet12
vnet13
vnet19
vnet2
vnet4
vnet6
vnet7
