I need opinions about colors clashing

Hello! I'm having second thoughts about my bridesmaids bouquets and my bouquet. The bridesmaids will be wearing grey dresses, all of a different style and cut but the same color, and they will be carrying bouquets of fall color flowers, so orange, deep red, dusky rose and darker yellow. I was having a hard time finding something that I liked when I came across the brooch bouquets and fell in love with one that has purple and diamond brooches with soft ivory flowers in it. I also bought a pair of classy purple heels before I even found this bouquet. My question is, since nothing else in my wedding really has purple in it, is it going to clash with the bridesmaids grey dresses and fall colored bouquets? I don't want it to look too mismatchy, especially since I let my bridesmaids pick their own style and cut of dress since they're all built different. The groom and groomsmen are also wearing orange boutineers. Any and all opinions welcome!

  • Are you wearing purple shoes or are the BMs? I would say fine for you but not for them if that makes sense.

    Do you have your brooch bouquet already? If so maybe ask the florist to make a small sample bouquet or give you a few of the flowers in the colors you are having the bridesmaids bouquets in so you can compare them to with a fabric swatch maybe and then you can get a better idea. If you still have time to make changes with the florist maybe this is a good option??

  • I think depending upon the shade of purple, it could work with fall colors. For instance, a deep royal purple might look fine. Do you have pictures of some of these items (ie. your shoes, the bouquet inspiration for you and your girls?)

  • I will be wearing purple shoes. They are a satin, royal purple, peep toe heel, very simple and classy looking. Someone had just suggested to me yesterday about going to a fabric store and comparing all those colors together so I think I may do just that. If you'd like to check out kind of a rough idea of what the brooch bouquet looks like you can go to;

    The purple color in this brooch bouquet is the color of my shoes.

    I won't get my bouquet until Sept. 10th, my wedding is Sept. 20th so I'm putting a lot of faith in the person making it, shipping it on time and it looking wonderful. I do think I will go to a Hobby Lobby though and match colors to see how it looks and go from there. Thanks ladies! I really appreciate the responses! Now my next task is finding jewelry.
