help please with color choice!

i am getting married this august and i have already chosen my colors and my bridemaids chose their own dress( which im not thrilled with but it was the right color) it is a cafe colored dress by alfred angelo.  I am getting married on the beach in cape cod MA and i am using white and green hydrangeas with orange spray roses, so orange is my "pop" of color. I wanted my fiance and the men to wear orange ties, but now i cant decide if a neutral suit, one that matches closer to the girls dresses would be better or a navy suit. i just dont know if the colors will be too similar or if thats something that works. i like the idea of the light suits on the beach, but i dont know if matching the dresses and the suits works well. opinions please!

I think light suits would look very nice for a beach wedding.  Are you planning to have the BMs and GM walk down the aisle in couples?  Or are you having just the girls walk down?  I think that makes a difference in how much you should worry over matching everyone.  If they aren't walking down together I wouldn't worry about it too much.  If they are then it might be a bit more of a concern and you'll want to make sure the color of the suit will match and look good right next to the color of the dress.

it will be the girls walking seperately, we have a tiny wedding party, just our siblings.

Personally I would go with the Navy Suits.  I am assuming you are going to have pictures taken.  The suits will not match the dresses exactly and may clash in pictures.  Contrasting colors look nice in pictures.

I'd go with the navy. It would look very classy with the natural bridesmaids dress and the orange ties.

I think a suit to match the dress would be ideal, or a light colored suit. If youre having green, white, orange, brown, and navy i think you might be going a little over. 

The ideal answer it get color swatches and compare. Ultimately its your choice!
