Wedding color help

I'm having trouble coming up with a good color scheme here.  My main "color" is going to be Campbell tartan (an example is http://www.scotweb.co.uk/images/tartans/nevis_campbell_anc.jpg )  I could simply use the colors found in the tartan, i.e. blue, green, and black, and have silver accents.  However, I cannot stand green, I don't know why.  

I am going to have the tartan laced up the back of my dress (which is ivory...I got it off Ebay for $50, so I'm definitely not going to complain that it's ivory instead of white, lol) , and perhaps around the neckline and hem as well.  The groom and groomsmen will be wearing kilts (in their own clan tartan) or black slacks with ivory shirts.  

So, I really need colors for the bridemaids dresses, the flowers, and the decorations.  Any ideas?

Black dresses are easy and alays look nice.

Tartan is a complicated pattern, especially if the guys will be wearing non-matching ones.  I vote for the bridesmaids in black and the decor to be in black and white (or ivory, whichever), if only to keep things from becoming visually cluttered.

1.  Black dresses would never be a choice in my area for a wedding.
2.  Your wedding is in MAY.  Black is not a spring/summer color.  Maybe you could get away with this if your wedding was in the winter.
3.  Your wedding is over three years away.  I think you have time to test out a lot of color combos.
4.  Try light blue and dark blue.
