    My colors are deep purple (grape) and silver. Bridesmaids (4 of them) are wearing the purple dresses. I have 1 Jr. bridesmaid i put in silver - it is a light silver chifon with a bit darker satin sash. I couldn't match the purple vests for the men so I am putting all the men (even the jr. groomsmen in silver) which I think will look good. Tie all the colors in!

    Here is my dilema. We picked out the guys vests which are just a satin plain vest, no patterns or anything on the vest which we really like. More formal feeling to us.  However the vest mor of a grayish silver. So it is darker than the Jr. bridesmaid dress (her dress is a true silver). SO...I did find at Mens warehouse the EXACT silver shade to match the ONE only silver dress in my bridal party. However it has a slight pattern on it.

    Question. Do you think I should change the vests and go lighter to match the jr. girls' dress - again only 1 girl wearing a silver dress? Or is the the darker siler/gray ok we already picked? My wedding is memorial weekend so I also starting thinking changing the vests to the lighter color may be better? Does it matter? I know too, at least i think, in pictures it will photograph lighter so the darker vests may be ok.

    Opinions??

    I think you should stay with what you have!  If it's only one dress, and its not very different from any of the other colors, chances are no one will notice and I doubt anyone will think anything of it.

    @auggiefrog:  Thanks for the input. You are probably right. And you think being a spring/Memorial weekend wedding the darker silver vest is ok? Probably doesn't matter. People do black in the summer right?!!!!

    I think that variations of a shade add depth and interest.  I'm totally not a matchy matchy person though, so I may be biased.

    Don't worry so much about the colors, when we were picking colors my FI and I were more concerned about what colors we like and work for us, and not what was in style or the season! Go with what you like!
