    Ok hive, I need some help.  My wedding colors are fuchsia, (or hot pink or magenta or whatever), peach and charcoal gray.

    My original idea was for my three bridesmaids to wear matching fuchsia dresses, but I think it will be too overpowering for our small ceremony (only 1 groomsman).

    Here is the dress they'll be wearing: http://www.princessbridalgowns.com/eden_maids_bridesmaid_style_7290.html

    My current thinking is for them to wear the dress in a peach color, and carry dark pink rose bouquets.  My bouquet will be mainly creamy ivory and peach roses with hot pink calla lilies, similar to this one: http://pinterest.com/pin/271279369/

    i want to wear fuchsia shoes too.  

    My question is, will this all pull together? Will we look too random? Do the peach dresses with bright pink flowers work?

    Thanks bees!

    Does the dress come in grey?  I see the granite color.  I think that would be HOT with bright flowers.  My feeling is the peach/pink dresses with pink flowers is going to look like Hello Kitty threw up on your wedding party :)  No offense - just being honest :)  The grey dresses would tie into the groom's dark tux as well - I'm assuming he's wearing black?  Also, your wedding is in December?  The grey would make much more sense as a "winter" color.  You can still rock the fushia pumps since that would be in your flowers.  When you have bright colors they work much better as accent colors instead of the main event.

    Good luck!
