What colors compliment Navy blue? I am thinking about having the MOH in Navy and the rest of the BM in a different color. TIA

Re: Navy Blue BM dresses
i think a light blue, silver or even a taupe/champagne color would all look nice with navy.

Re: Navy Blue BM dresses
I'm doing navy with a very pale yellow--'buttercream' is what the flowergirl's dress is called. My bridesmaids are in navy with pale yellow trim, and the younger girls are in navy dresses with a thick buttercream sash. The flowergirl will be in buttercream with a navy sash.
I think navy looks best with pale colors: white, ivory, pale pink, silver, baby blue, pale yellow, lavender, light spring green. I wore navy in a bridal party years ago and it didn't clash with the black tuxes--it's a myth, they look fine together, they're both very classic.
These are the dresses the older bridesmaids will be wearing:
BTW, I'm very glad I chose navy because it's been really good in other ways. Such as, the pocketfolds of my invites are in 'butter' with a navy ribbon, and it was really easy to have navy printing. Every printing company can do navy, and it can be very expensive to have dark printing on light. And all my other paper stuff will be the butter with navy lettering or designs. Bouquets are easy to get in your lighter color: I'm doing ivory Vendela, champagne Sahara, and pale yellow roses, but you could easily do pink flowers, or blue and green hydrangeas, or anything, really. And then I'm going to have thick navy and light yellow ribbons tying the stems. Might do stripes or polka dots, I haven't shopped that much for ribbon yet. And you can always mix in other colors of blue--a lot of my candles and candleholders will be other colors of blue because it's too hard to stick to all navy, and I don't like weddings that are so rigid that everything is exactly in the color scheme. It looks like you tried too hard, and I don't want that.
