Sage or lavender/periwinkle?

I am being harrassed (overdramatic I know) about which color(s) I am choosing for my wedding (i.e. bridal party, flowers, etc) I like sage and light purples (such as lavender or periwinkle blue).

If you have pictures of bridesmaid dresses, bouquets, etc using these colors, please post so I can have some ideas. Thank you so much (in advance). All contributions are appreciated!!!

I wish I had pictures but I don't. My mother had sage and lavendar when she married and they looked great together. We had sage dresses and my mother used lavendar accents in various things.

Re: Sage or lavender/periwinkle?

Green and purple are complementary colors - opposite each other on the colorwheel . I like softer versions of these colors like the sage and lavender/periwinkle-ish type. Sage in the winter would be awesome. I also plan on having bare tree-like centerpieces with some candles and flower petals at the base - nothing ornate at all - just classy looking. Something like this but no white flowers - I want fewer flowers and in the color of the BP dresses.

Our colors are lavender and antique gold, with obviously (white) trim.

Here are our CP's, here are some sample colored BM dresses, and some boq's.

That was my color scheme! My bridal party wore oeriwinkle and I had all the flowers in creams and greens. You can see the flower color scheme on my cake table!
