Need color help!

Hi everyone! I am having a hard time picking colors for the BM dresses and the wedding as a whole.

I am either thinking eggplant color (a bit lighter) with a tan color accent OR cornflower blue with brown accent OR light pink with brown accent.

We are having (hopefully) an outdoor ceremony in July. The outdoor area sort of reminds me of a garden party.

Let me know which combo you like better or if you have any pics - thanks!!! :)

I like cornflower blue...however I'm not sure how it will look with a brown accent. I think brown looks better with a lighter blue (like tiffany blue)

I like eggplant too..but I think it would look better with gold as an accent, rather than tan.

I think pink and brown look the best together. Just my opinion. However, if you have pics of any of those combos I may change my mind if I see them together- but the first two (in my head) just don't seem right together.

Thanks for the pics!!

This is the site I am using to look at colors - it is different than seeing it in person but if you put t he colors I mentioned on the dress (not the dress I am using - that is a different story lol)

I use eggplant and palomino (last color on the sash)
Cornflower blue dress (which looks darker on the site) and brown
Blush color dress and brown sash

FH really likes the brown/blue combo - is that to unoriginal?

Yeah my mom and I really liked that combo! I need to see it in person to make sure though

Purple is my fav. color and I did want to incorporate a shade of purple some how. I am hoping to look at dresses next week

Not officially. I go back and forth between about 10 different colors. Lately, I've been into bright tropical colors with cornflwer blue BMs dresses

I love the blue and the brown.

Personally I think eggplant is to dark for the summer.
