  You could have them wear vests in the same blush, light pink, beige color scheme, or just ties in those colors.

  What about champagne?

  Oooh yeah! Champagne!  I am just not certain how many ties are in the same color scheme as my bmaids dresses.  Also, I'd love to have them match perfectly, but I can't decide who I want to walk down the isle with who.  It doesn't seem like a big deal, but my bridesmaids ask me all the time.  They want some one who will look good in pictures with them! haha
  
  On that note, how did you decide what order your bridesmaids/groomsmen walked down the isle?  The last wedding I was in she put the brides maids in order of how much she liked them. (the girl walking last she was in a fight with...)

  Champagne sounds like a great color to compliment the ladies.
  
  I have not figured out the order of the Bridesmaids 100%. The issue I have is 2 MOHs and 2 Bridesmaids, but my sister is younger (a MOH) and I would like her to be behind Mel (my BFF and MOH). The issue is that I would like her paired with FIs youngest brother (a year younger than her), but I think FI is closer to the brother older than the youngest (he has 3, oldest is BM and the younger 2 are GM). So not sure how we're doing it yet.... but I didn't want my sis in the back of the line (doing oldest to youngest) at the same time.... So we'll see and you'll think of something.
  
  Maybe you can do an order of when you met your Bridesmaids? Or who's the closest to you to start and work your ay down... Hope it helps.

  I like your color scheme!  I think everything will be very pretty together.
  
  I haven't 100% decided ordered, but FI's sisters are identical twins (they don't look identical because of different hair style/color and weight variation) but I don't want them next to each other so it's clear they look different.  I will have 1 BM, 1 twin, 1 BM, other twin, MOH.  It's also hard because there's only 3 groomsmen so I have to decide who will look better with who in pictures.

  Champagne sounds like a nice idea! As to order, we just went alphabetical, because it was the easiest way to pair people up, so they'll walk in reverse alphabetical order to line up correctly. What I can't decide is my mom at one point mentioned she wanted to be the last person escorted in before me (I've never seen it done this way, but she says she had-- is it a 70s thing? A Midwest thing?), and I'd like to let her do that since she hasn't asked for much, but I can't seem to make it work in my head.

  i suggest trying to co-ordinate ties with the girls dresses once you figure out who is walking with who.  i'm having my BMs in height order...my MOH is the shortest so she is last to walk in and the tallest BM is first.  the BM is actually the tallest guy so he will look a bit funny with the shortest girl, but oh well.

  Hmmm...those are good options!
  I might just pull a bunch of names from a hat too?  Has any one done that?
  Juuuust kidding of course.

  Maybe it's just an old fashioned tradtion, but I was under the impression that they were paired up by height, shortest to tallest. This is of course with the exception of the honor attendants who would be closest to the bride and groom.

  I like the idea of champagne.  You could also put the men in white or ivory vests (not sure if it would look disjointed though).

  
  

  As for the order, I have 2 MoH's but I'm putting my best friend next to me, then my sister, than my great friend from where I live now, and then my bridesman b/c I think it would look funny if he was in between all the women.

  
  

  It turns out they are lining up in height order :-)

  
  

  As for the guys, fiance has his two oldes friends from his hometown first and then his two oldest friends from where we live now.  Again, he has a groomswoman and she is at the end to match up with my bridesman.  

  
  

  The order really shouldn't matter, b/c it is not a wedding for them, it's for you.  Good luck!
