Need Honest Opinions Please- w/ poll and pics*Updated**

Ok, here is a pic of my BM's dress, with the colors it comes in. My whole theme is Caribbean/Tropical, and I was hoping to have my girls in a shade of orange or tangerine. They tried it on in the pink/purple shown, and it was really nice, but I don't really want the pink and purple! The dress can come in all one color, or you can mix and match. I know it's really hard to see on here, but can you guys help me make a decision? Thank you!

Update: Thank you to everyone for their votes and honest opinions! However, I decided to go w/ another dress completely!!! I went to the shop today, to compare how close the swatches are w/ the actual dress, and the lady helping me gave me a better idea of how those colors would work out- and I didn't like it!

So- she pulled out another dress by the same designer, and the color choices were perfect! It's the second dress! I won't even bother to include the color chart, it's completely different, but I chose an orange-y color called Sun Kiss! Thanks again to all!

I think the Orange with yellow on the bottom would look nice.

Re: Need Honest Opinions Please- w/ poll and pics

why don't you mix it up & make it all really tropical, having each girl in a different color depending what works best on her

I really love the pink and purple shown, but for your tropical theme I would definietly go with the orange kiss and lipstick!

Re: Need Honest Opinions Please- w/ poll and pics

I'm sorry, I am probably in the minority here, but I do not like pink and orange together at all. I think pink or orange would be cool, but not both. I say the same thing for pink and purple-one or the other but not both.

Yeah, I think that would be perfect. Or, if you wanted to switch it up you could have the pink/purple and orange/yellow on different girls.
