    Hi ladies!    I'm in deseperate need of your help!

    I can be really indecisive and the decision of what color the bridesmaids will wear is driving me CRAZY!

    Here's some info to help you help me decide Color of Bridesmaid Dresses???? :  wedding bridesmaids attire dresses colors help Icon Wink:

    We are getting married outside in Charleston, South Carolina on October 18th.

    We are getting married at a beautiful plantation full of old Oak Trees draped in Spanish Moss!  It's also right on the river.  Because the surroundings are so beautiful we wanted to keep our colors simple and inspired by nature.  Therefore the colors are mostly greens and ivories.  We are going to have a few pops of Tiffany Blue and copper.  

    I'm afraid if the ladies wear Tiffany Blue it will look to Springy!  If they wear green it may be too much green because their bouquets are going to be made up of mostly green and ivory.

    Any suggestions?

    I agree that Tiffany blue might be too springy.  I don't think green is a bad choice, maybe go with a moss or sage green that is slightly different than floral leaves/filler usually is.  Or, if you wanted to go with a copper color, Dessy has a delicious color called butterscoth that is copper-like but not metallic copper.  Maybe even throw in a green/tiffany blue sash??

    Green sounds beautiful! I think it's such a great colour, and I don't think there can ever be too much green in one place - look how much occurs naturally together!

    And even though the bouquets are also green and ivory, I think a monochromatic look would be really stunning, especially since you'll get so much of the other colours in the background - the river, the moss, your beautiful dress, etc.

    Anyway, that's just my two cents!

    I also like the suggestion of copper! A dark green with ivory accents might be nice, too.

    I'm ordering a copper color "Dulce De Leche" from Wtoo.  I am having huge issues with colors that go along with it - but I have to agree with everyone, the color is just beautiful!

    How about a peach or melon colored dress? It's in the same color family as your burnt oranges, rust, reds.. that you see in the fall. This color also would look good with the copper and tiffany blue that you have already incorporated in your wedding as well as the green background.

    My first thought was metallic, copper, rust, champagne color.  A shade of brown which could easily be accented by green or both, would have an autumn feel.

    Good Luck!

    Your venue sounds STUNNING! Copper or deep green, as other suggested, have my vote too.
