Help BM dress color choce!

Hey ladies,
I am in dire need of ideas.

My colors are pink and green (like an olive/sage)
My dress is white with a pink sash under the chest. I will be carrying light pink roses.
My centerpieces are tall with various shades of pink flowers.

Initially I wanted my bridesmaids to have green dresses, however I have yet to find a shade of green I like. Oh, and I want cocktail lenght dresses.

I need advice on whether to have them wear light or dark-fushia pink instead.
Or to keep looking for a nice green, and if so could you post some pics of nice green BM dresses.
Keep in mind I want the combination to look elegant, but somehow everytime I look as some dresses I think babyshower...lol
Thanks

Have you looked in person? All the green colors I have seen online are a little strange looking. When I went to try on my dress the other day though (my dress has pink and green in it... a lot more green then i had thought) the sales woman suggested a beautiful green bridesmaids dress. I would have really considered it if I didn't already have my colors picked. In person the colors look a lot nicer. Heres one that is nice though:

I got my bm gowns from Alfred Angelo...check out his website because he has a lot of separates too that you can mix and match if you wanted different styles for your moh or something like that...these are just too pics of his sage green color. There are alot of options for dresses with sashes that you can do in pink...

Check out Forever Yours dresses - they have a lot of nice choices and colors, and they're reasonably priced.

Here's a link: http://www.foreverbridals.com/

Below is a pic of a dress which might match your description. If you don't like the dress, you can probably find another dress on the site where you can mix and match the colors.

go to the bridal salon and look it's easier that way. i know bridal suite of bay shore has roles of sample fabrics and books of them as well. you can scan through them, pick out the color(s) you like and then they'll show you the dresses that come in that color. colors on website - especially green - generally don't translate well. it's better and easier to see in person.
