I agree with IloveMilkDuds :) as to it being their wedding and how great that he wants to be involved in the planning. Then again, any help you're able to assist her with I'm sure she appreciates.
But I personally think that with spritzes of orange for a pop of color would be beautiul. It may not be the "typical" winter colors you see, but that's what I love about it. It's different! It's outside the box. I mean, I haven't seen any winter weddings with those colors because.... could make a great opp to submit to wedding blogs after the wedding... she may start a whole new trend! :)
I know as her sister and MOH it's easy to start planning it all your own, but maybe an idea that could help is to plan a night for you, the Bride and Groom, and his best man. Order dinner in (pizza or Chinese, MMmmM! ..that is if the bride isn't going all diet), or make something totally easy (unless you really like to cook then go all out) serve wine and some dessert and have everyone bring their lap top! Have some hor'dourves and have teams so to speak, either you and the Bride on one team, and the Groom and best man as the other or the Bride and Groom vs. you and the best man and Google ideas.... then discuss them as a group! I don't know how involved the Groom wants to be, but having the best man there will help even things out. The guys may surprise both of you and it'll help get them involved. But I guess it all depends on the Groom, haha... some may not be totally into this idea, but it's a thought. Lol. Love the signature drink idea.
For wardrobe and flowers, I'm thinking: Bridesmaids in royal blue dresses with silver shoes, OR vice-versa. White bouquets with a silver wrap and orange ribbons. The guys can wear black suits with white shirts, a silver vest and a striped or paisley tie that has orange and silver together. Then for the boutonniere a white flower that matches the bridesmaids bouquet; with a royal blue ribbon.
Or she can even have her main colors be the white and silver; with tiny accents of the blue and orange... or even go darker... maybe navy? Actually, now that I think about it; if she went for a darker shade of blue and keeps the orange it will add more warmth to it for that wintery feel.
That's all I got for now, haha.
Good luck and best wishes!! :)
