Help - Bridesmaid & Groomsmen Color Questions!!!

We ordered the BM dresses yesterday - love what each girl picked - all diff styles, same colors. All the girls are happy with their selections - and that means a lot - after all, they're the ones wearing the dresses.

After lots of back-and-forth, I ended up with champagne as the accent color.

It was tough not being able to see each dress in the colors on the girls in real life, but my mock photos helped a little. I like the accents - since the navy is dark, the champagne softens it a bit, and really shows the details. I'm a little concerned that the criss cross one will look funny though.

They'll all look great - I know that...I'm sure I'm over thinking this...but would like your opinions.

1st Dilemma - I really like navy and light green as my colors but the green wasn't a good option for the dresses. Now that I have champagne on the dresses - do I have to nix the light green (for flowers, invites, menus, etc.) and work in the champagne???

2nd Dilemma - We were originally thinking silver/platinum for the GM vests. Are champagne or ivory the only options now? Does anyone have suggestions on colors for the GM's vests?

Thanks!

Could the mothers wear light green so that it would coordinate with the invite, flowers etc? If not, I would reconsider using the green and use ivory/champagne invites.

As for the tuxes, yes I would do champagne vests or navy vests (if the moms did not wear the light green) -- but I would see what color looks best next to a swatch of your dress.

Champagne would look good, but if you like silver, they would be fine as well. Champagne may be hard to match at a tux place.

As far as changing the green to champagne..... you can do whatever you want wherever you want. If you want to add a hint of green cause you like it then no harm or foul! You only get this day once, so you might as well make it how you like it.
