    My dress has taupe accents on it (bands at the bottom and ribbon at the waistline) - what colors (BM and accent colors) would go with that OTHER than taupe/neutral?

     

    The dress is gorgeous, I love it - but I wanted navy BM dresses and am having a hard time picturing that with the flowers and all.

     

    Any ideas?

    I think you could still do navy!  Maybe add magenta as a bright pink pop of color as well?  Your dress is lovely, by the way.  Wedding colors with taupe band on dress :  wedding wedding colors bridesmaid dresses Icon Biggrin

    If your heart is set on Navy, I would suggest adding a champagne colored sash to the BM dresses to incorporate the neutral colors in their dresses and then incorporate all the colors in the bouquets:

    Blue Iris or Hydrangea, Ivory/Creamy roses, then wrap the stems in a champagne or taupe ribbon.    Also suggest just the blue accents in your bouquet and then just the creamy colors in the BM bouquets. 

    I also love light blue and champange!

    My wedding colors are actually champagne and taupe.  My dress has a champagne sash on it and the BM dresses are champagne with a taupe sash!

    Good luck with choosing colors! That dress is gorgeous!! Good choice!

    My dress is the color of your accents and our girls are doing Lake blue bridesmaid dresses.  I agree with wrapping their stems in champagne colored ribbon.  I really think it will all pull itself together!  Great dress, by the way!

    I have a champagne colored sash on my dress, but had already settled on black for BM dresses when I chose my dress.  I'm incorporating the champagne/gold as one of the wedding colors, even though the BM aren't wearing it.  We're using it for table linens, aisle runner, centerpieces and bouquet ribbons.

    I love your dress! I think navy would totally go with it and agree with Miss Bruschetta that a bright pop of pink would tie it all together
