Our weddiing party - Black and white with some red.  I really found this to be the best way to work the uniforms in with the scheme.
I think a turquoise bridesmaids dress would be interesting, but earthy flowers are a little hard. Maybe some white calla lillies, that would be pretty and different. Otherwise, look at different color gerbera daisies, they are always fun (its what I had). I went with black and white with red accents, because my husband and half his groomsmen are in the Navy, and so were wearing whites. I'll include a picture.

honestly i would go with a red or berry color but if i had to choose between teal or turquoise i would chose turquoise it is a brighter color in my opinion.

hey guys, thanks for all your comments.. the dark gold/ shimmery brown is a nice idea. i'm thinking of having turquoise as the primary collor with copper or bronze or some other metallic earth color as an accent.. i'll keep all your ideas in mind when i scout for fabric to use in my wedding :-)

when my bestfriend got married, they chose like 5 colors they like since they really can't decide. they chose pink, baby blue, lavander, green and yellow. their wedding coordinator was great! the coordinator made a great mix of colors. and it looked like a very lovely wedding for them. i suggest you mix turquoise, teal and some other earth colors you'd like to have.

well...why not trying a diff color? because blue color seems already common.how about pastel purple? its soft and warm too, its bright color express a happy feeling (i think)

Have you considered a dark gold or shimmery brown? I guess that depends on if you're having a daytime or evening wedding, though. Congratulations on your engagement!

entourage? is that your bridesmaids etc.... if it is.. cream is very good or lilac... both go with white or ivory (depending on what colour you wedding dress is) earth colours are good too as long as they dont over power the others in the group.... Congratualtions and have a superb day!!!
