    ivory with grape sashes?
  • LOL Megan!

    All three of your ideas would work really well; baby blue might also work.

    Do you know what flowers you're having? That might help narrow things down a bit.

  • What colors will suit the bridemaids?
    Grape is a good base colour-pale blue, pinks or some greens.

    Do you have a picture of the dress? 'Grape' could be any variation of purple/red. Also, how old are the bridesmaids? What style are you thinking?

    I know, I am sorry. I'd had a glass off wine and couldn't resist. Megan

  • Oh i just wrote a whole post and lost it!

    In my head im not so sure about lilac, it could look lovely but I think you would need to put the colours next to each other.

    I think an ivory, champagne or gold would look lovely.

    Im not sure about lilac and grape, but that might just be me. I think it would look better to highlight the grape with a neutral colour.
