    BMs will carry green/white/yellow bouquets and wear sage green dresses (like the *top* color here).

     I'm thinking yellowish gold (like Mr. Lemon's), black or dark grey.  (Groom will be wearing an ivory vest/tie, btw).

    Maude,

    is an outdoor or casual event, maybe a brown colored tux with any one of those colors in the BM's bouquet as an accent color for tie and vest. A softer version of what the BMs are carrying.

    Or, if it is more formal or in the evening, you can go for black. Or if you just prefer black. :)

    Thanks for the idea.  I'm thinking the tuxes themselves will be black, but I need to decide on a vest/tie color.  Maybe dark grey?

    My choice would be gray as well. Or just a plain black tux with a bow tie instead of vest, etc. I prefer a "normal" tux over a "prom" tux.

    My girls will also be wearing a celadon green and the guys are going to wear green vests as well with green ties.  the vests have a bit of a pattern on them, so it won't be too overwhelming (hopefully).  Plus, their boutonniers will have some kind of rust colored flowers in them (fall wedding).  My FI is wearing an ivory vest with some darker ivory details since my dress is more of a gold than ivory. 

    Oh, and even though our colors are green and brown (i suppose brown is more of an accent here and there), the guys are wearing black tuxes.  FI refused to wear brown and I really can't see him wearing it anyway, not his style. 

     If you prefer to not have them match, looking at the color you showed as the dresses, sage green has a bit of a grey undertone, so I think the dark grey would look very nice.  It would also make their boutonniers pop, or you could do a colorful pocket square rather than flowers if you're going that route.
