Found the Dresses!

Found my bridesmaid dresses today! So beyond excited about it but now I am trying to think about accessories. The dresses are brown and will have either the same color brown flowy thing (it's what I call it) at the top of the shoulder strap or a deep burgundy. Then the possibility of switching colors for my maid of honor. Not sure how I feel about the burgundy though because I don't know if the dress comes in that color. Might just go with the brown though. Then I can accent my fall colors theme with the bouquets. The big thing I want to get at with this is tying in an accessory with my maids and his men. I was thinking superhero cufflinks and then a charm on the maids bouquets. Does that sound tacky? And where would I able to find things like those?

Etsy would be one place to find charms and cufflinks.  I would try just googling a bit to see what you come up with.

If you're mixing brown and burgundy, I would make sure to go with a brighter, more red burgundy as opposed to a more brown burgundy.  That way the color will pop more and it won't look like an accident.

To the bolded: please, no.  You would only notice in one Pinterest worthy picture and it is so pointless.  I would match the flowers in the BMs' bouquets with the flowers in the GMs' boutonnieres and maybe match their tie colour with the BMs' dresses. 

As for the dresses, you could do any one of the options you are thinking of, honestly.  

All in brown:

All burgundy:

All the BMs in one colour and the MOH in another:

All in one colour and with the other colour as the accent:
