    Three of my bridesmaids will be in this peridot green by Vineyard I have attached. My maid of honor is choosing a different dress in a complimenting green color (maybe a darker green).    Problem is my mother is considering an olive green satiny dress.  Mother and I want to know if this will be too much green and look weird especially if my fiance's mother is in a totally different color.   What do you ladies think?

    Well, she will stand out in group pictures. I mean, with everybody in green, except you and her, your eye will go to y'all. I would ask your mother to wear a different color.

    i assume green is one of your colors, in which case it's not too much green. could your fmil wear another shade of green?

    Maybe too much, esp. if the FMIL wears another color. Do you have another color they could wear? Honestly, just about anything can look pretty with green. I'm seeing purples, blues, beiges and browns. MMmmm.... pretty.

    It might be too much.  Can you ask your mom and FMIL to wear similar colors?  You could ask them to pick another complimentary color.

    I think it would be too much - I would ask my mother to chose another complimentary colour that was not green!

     I agree.  It might be a bit much.

    I dont think it's too much to ask for your mom to wear a different color. but on another note, the BM dresses are BEAUTIFUL, what an amazing green!

    this is kind of like the green i'm using, lol.

    thus, i like it. Maybe your mom should use a complementary color to green... like a dark red, burndt orange... IDK.

    The following link has the complementary colors for all colors: http://painting.about.com/od/colourtheory/ss/color_theory_6.htm
