i voted for the berry/celedon, but i think you could go with all berry too (see explaination below).

i would definately go with the berry for the dress. we wore dresses in a similar color (jcrew azelea) for my sister's wedding and they looked so great in the pictures. the contrast between our richly colored dresses and her white was really stunning and popped. my feeling is that, while the petal is beautiful, it will blend with a white dress too much and in pictures the bridal party will be a pale mass, whereas with the berry dresses the bride will really stand out.

what are you doing for flowers? b/c if you did an all berry dress, you could tie in the green with green flowers (i have seen some really cool all green boquets in magazines in the past year -- martha maybe?). (we carried deep pink zinnias in my sister's wedding.)

I am not sure on flowers at first I wanted a color called sugar pink, which was a golden pink and would have been perfect, but the dresses were not the right price and I think these Ann Taylor one's will lay better on everyone. You know how some girls don't really care about alterations!

So anyone I am open to suggestions on flowers. Now keep in mind this is my dress...now vote!

I like the petal better... I think the berry color overpowers the green and the petal seems like a more natural combination.

Can you do a berry dress with a petal sash? Then have the green come from the bouquets the girls carry?

I'm doing just the opposite...lighter green dresses with a dark green sash and pink peony bouquets.

Just wanted to say that it's very considerate of you to choose such a nice, tasteful dress that could (conceivably, at least) be worn again and that isn't too expensive.

I think #1 really pops but I think #2 may look better with your dress. I also think it depends on the flowers you put with them as well. I love your color scheme
