    We want the guys to be wearing dark gray suits (kind of a charcoal), but if we can't find them to rent, we'll end up going black.

    I've fallen in love with a few inspiration boards that have bright and burnt oranges paired with pale yellows.

    However, I have three lovely white girls as my 'maids, and I hate the thought of putting them in orange - I just can't see it being universally flattering. Also, I'm a little afraid that the dark suits paired with orange dresses would look to halloween-y.

    So what color dresses would look work well for relatively pale caucasian women (one redhead and two dirty blondes) that I could pair with orange (or yellow, I guess) accents?

    PLEASE no black (again, I'm afraid of looking like halloween - especially in early October), and I think dark brown would look bad with the gray suits.

    I'm a pale golden blonde caucsion woman and yellows tend to do pretty well with my skin color.  Have you thought about having your bridesmaids go try on dresses in yellow and see if you like the look?

    I hadn't considered yellow; I'll ask them what they think of it. Thanks!
