XP: Adding a color?

Not sure if any of you remember..a while ago, I had a bummer of a time and the color of the  dress I picked out for my bridesmaids was discontinued. 
Anyway, after a lot of looking, I haven't found anything that I like as much and I'm stressing out over it too much.
Here's what I'm working with.... My original plan was a gray and orange color scheme.

My sister, MOH, already has THIS dress picked out, well I picked it out and we ordered it the day were going to order the other dresses...before we found out about the color bummer. 
The guys are wearing gray tuxes, and those can be changed, but we dont want to.

My question is...would a marine or navy blue look alright when I add in the orange flowers? or will it be too much? 

In my head it looks good, and I would probably have the other girls in navy with a charcoal sash and add a navy sash (instead of the black) to her dress, probably even do the girls in the blue dresses with charcoal shoes, and my sister in navy shoes? 
Then just keep the groomsmen in the grey tuxes and isntead of gray ties, do navy ties??






I should add where the orange comes in.... we're doing all different shades of orange flowers. Very similar to this but without the feathers and using garden roses instead of regular ones.



 or something like this

 cause i love me dahlias and think they are gorgeous.

So they guys would have orange bouts with a navy tie and their grey tux....


Thoughts, concerns, comments (please be nice!!)

Thanks in advance.  I'm going tomorrow with my sister and a bridesmaid to try to nail this business down and any outside help will be greatly appreciated!

Re: XP: Adding a color?

  • I'm biased. My colors are blue, orange, and champagne...my girls are going to be in a medium blue and our flowers mostly orange. I didn't pick navy because my fiance wanted to wear black tuxes. They're having blue ties and mango calla lilly boutinnieres. I've been to a wedding where the girls wore navy and the flowers were orange..and it was beautiful. I think your idea of having your MOH wear a navy sash will look great--enough to tie her in with the other girls while still keeping her highlighted. I love her dress! It's gorgeous! She almost wouldn't need navy shoes so it doesn't take away from the dress...i think it's better if she wore gray shoes like the other girls...and then maybe YOU wear navy shoes...would make for cute shoe pics...anyway, i'm getting carried away. good luck tomorrow!

  • I like the idea of her not wearing navy and the girls wearing the same color now that i play with it in my head and the possibility of me wearing blue shoes ( i keep humming elvis' blue suede shoes song, not that id wear suede)

    Thanks for the help, your colors sound VERY pretty as well. thanks for the vote of confidence being that you've seen the blue dresses with orange flower combo, I've seen it in pictures, but its different hearing it from someone who's seen it in person.

    I'm feeling much better about it, who knew how stressful some colors could be!!

  • I think navy, orange and gray would look amazing together!!! Although, I wouldn't put your sister in a navy sash. I think the flowers will make it tie in together nicely.

  • Sounds awesome to me! My girls are all wearing navy and I thought about doing orange and loved it, but ended up falling in love with some other flowers that wouldn't have cooridnated. I can't wait to see your pictures if you go with this scheme!!

  • I love the idea and think it would work perfectly! I'm having gray, burgundy, an champagne/beige as colors. Theres no need to limit it to just two! and the orange will make it pop perfectly!
