Suggestions needed

in African American Weddings

My colors are tiffany blue, white and silver with lost of bling and a touch of peach/orange. However, I can't seem to decide on what my BMs dress color should be.

I was considering white at first with tiffany blue sashes but because I haven't decided on the color of my dress, I figured if I go with ivory as opposed to white, it'll look off. I looked at white BM dresses on TheKnot and it appears more of the weddings where the girls wore white were less formal affairs. My wedding will be a little more formal.

Any ideas/suggestions? Pictures are also welcomed. I don't want the girls wearing peach or orange though.

TIA!

    How about blue dresses? I know DB has a pool blue color that's close to Tiffany Blue and I think AA has the same color. My wedding colors are pool blue, black, and white, and my BMs are wearing pool blue dresses from DB. Peach and/or orange bouquets would really be pretty with the dresses I think.

    Here's another inspiration board I found. The flowers look almost red to me, but it came up under my "tiffany blue and orange wedding" search. I'm sure you get the idea though lol.

    Thanks MrsJJohnson2B. The only reason I have suggestions is because wheatney's color scheme was my original color scheme. I switched the silver to black though. But originally I wanted Tiffany/pool blue, silver, and white with orange calla lily bouquets. I love wheatney's added bling factor though. Omg, I just know her wedding is going to be gorgeous!!!

    Thanks ladies. Appreciate the feedback.

    Question: Do you think it'll look "common" if the girls are in TB? That's my concern. I know I definitely don't want silver. Was in 2 weddings where I wore silver. Ummm...let's just say it didn't hide my curves very well.

    Missrekaegle - I LOVE the board you put together. I think I'll be stealing some of those ideas. Is that OK?

    Also, what is AA?

    I don't think it will look common at all, but I am biased lol. It's such a beautiful color.

    I didn't put the board together, I stole it from a google image search. So sure you can steal it too.

    AA is Alfred Angelo. The website is http://www.alfredangelo.com/Company/HomePage.aspx. I think there are Alfred Angelo stores in some places, but i'm not sure about DC. A lot of bridal shops sell AA so if you see a style # you like, you may want to call around and see if anyone near you carries it.

    T blue & peach was one of my original color schemes and I think the two boards above bring those colors together very well. I also agree with previous posters about doing blue dresses with peaches flowers.

    You can try peach dresses but you have to find the right shade of it though cause that's a hard color to pull. But when done well, it looks good on AA skins
