Muted Color Scheme/Bridesmaids Dress colors??

Hi I'm fairly new on here.  Our wedding is next October 2015, in the beginning of planning.  Nailed down a vendor (if weather cooperates) ceremony outdoors, reception indoors at a historical estate (built in early 1800's).  I think muted colors will go best with the vintage look of the venue.  I also like the romantic look it gives off and just goes with the venue, and will go with the season.  When I say "muted" I am thinking gold, beige, ivories, with a hint of soft blue.  SO, what colors would work best for MOH/bridesmaids dresses?  We are going dress shopping at the end of this summer, but I need to come up with colors for them.  I told them all they can pick whatever dress style they feel comfortable in as long as it is within my color scheme.  Maybe once we actually go into a bridal shop this will come to me easier?  Any ideas on here?  I want my girls to pop in the pictures so I am worried about beige colored dresses.  Maybe have muted colors and have them wear a deeper shade in one of the muted colors I choose?  I am so confused.

    Below are some pictures of bridesmaids in different colours to hopefully help you visualize what they might look like.

    I love muted color schemes, but I'd discourage you from selecting anything in the beige family for your BMs. Beige doesn't compliment very many skin tones! 

    I love the second to last pic doey posted --- they all get to choose as long as they stay in the muted range.

  • Thank you and yes ElcaB, my thoughts exactly about the "beige" just what I am trying to steer away from.  Both MOH and bridesmaids like the blue, so I am going to have them wear blue and the rest of my décor will be muted with a hint of blue.  It will work.
