Ok, the groom tux will be ivory with a Palm Beach Coral Vest (Similar to Burnt Orange) The groomsmen tuxes will be ivory with Harinbone Copal Vest (similar to a chocolate brown). I'm considering my gown to be the same color as the groom's vest. (What do you think about that?) Also, should my bridemaids dresses be the same color as the groomsmen vest, or what? I've never color coordinated a wedding, so I'm completely clueless. Please Help!!!

Let them all were black, so they can use the dress again, that is what I told my wife but she didn't
seems like a waste of money for the people to do it any other way

Okay...I think if you're going to be in coral, the groom will be in ivory and coral, the groomsmen will be in ivory and chocolate brown, the bridesmaids should for sure be in chocolate brown to tie everything in. It's best to stick with three colors so things don't get complicated. Also, chocolate brown is becoming more popular and I have seen some nice dresses online so you shouldn't even have a problem finding one you like.

I kinda agree with Peerless about wearing the Ivory dress and using the colors of the vest as your bouquet flowers. In fact, you could use both vests colors in the flowers. As for the bridesmaids, I think I would go with a pale coral dress with maybe a chocolate brown tulle (or similar fabric) as a wrap-around "shawl-type" cover over their shoulders, or depending how the dress is made; perhaps around the waist. Or, you could even use the tulle-type around the neck and hanging down the back of the dress.
As for the flowers, I would suggest maybe ivory,coral and a lighter than chocolate brown with ribbons of those colors hanging down. Use baby's breath as a filler in the flowers and perhaps some light small ferns or small leaves also as a filler.
You could also choose a light coral for your dress and have the bridesmaids wear a light chocolate dress with the neck piece a light coral or ivory color.
I like your color choices and think it will be a very lovely wedding whatever you choose.
Be happy and congratulations!!!

I don't like the idea of a wedding dress being burnt orange, it should be white or ivory, as for the bridesmaid dresses, if you go with orange for yours, do the brown for theirs. If you go with a diff color for your dress you can have the bridesmaids in either the orange or brown, i think they both sound lovely but I'd probably pick the brown, it will likely get more use for the girls in the future.

Why not a ivorydress with the same coral in a colored sash around your waist? I've never seen a bride in a color, usually just white or cream. But I would say with the colors you have already, ivory would be the way to go. It sounds contemporary and beautiful. Good luck!

You should match the groom and let the bridesmaids match the groomsmen. Not a lot of people look good in burnt orange. Think about how your overall colors will look in pictures. Your attendents will stand out not you.

why not just go with black for the men's suits... but have their vests the same color you wanted. the bridesmaids gowns color the same as the groomsmen. you wear ivory and if you prefer, have some coral trimmings on it and have your bouquet contain flowers the color of coral.
in my opinion, white tuxes are too loud... and cheap-y looking. if you're going with that and the colored gowns for you and for the bridesmaids, that is just way too much.

You don't have to color coordinate everything.....as long as your brides maid dresses aren't a totally different color.....it's the same thing with black and white tux....when i got married...my groom wore a black tux with an ivory vest and his groosmen wore black tux with a black vests...but that doesn't mean that i had to wear a ivory dress or that my bridesmaid had to wear a black dress........my dress was diamond white and my bridesmaid dresses were pink......and it turned out beautiful...but whatever you want it up to you.....Congrats!

Why are the groomsmen not matching the groom?
