Anyway, I decided I was going to stop discussing such issues with said people and instead just do what I want. After all, if my wedding ends up looking like a circus I'll have no one to blame but myself! Don't get me wrong, I don't want it to look like the rainbow threw up all over our wedding, but I do want to use things like the flowers, the ladies dresses, the guys ties, the favor packaging etc, to add color to an otherwise white and natural backdrop.
So here are the swatches from the bridesmaids dresses and the colors that I will be incorporating into the wedding
And here are the ladies dresses by Mori Lee (in the order that they will be standing). The colors are much darker in the images than the chiffon is in real life:

My maid of honor will wear the raspberry colored dress, her sister and my first bridesmaid will wear the tiffany blue dress, my cousin the turquoise dress, and my lil' sister a tiffany blue dress as well. I picture the bridal party holding pretty bouquets of all white flowers to contrast the dresses and my bouquet being a piece of multicolored gorgeousness!
The invitations will include the tiffany blue against some neutral colors as will the favor packing, the groomsmen's ties will reflect the ladies dresses, and the flowers in the centerpieces will be colorful (more to come on these all soon).
So what do you gals think? Do you think I've lost my mind?

Ooooo I love those dresses! I think the colors are pretty. :) I can definitely appreciate when a bride doesn't feel that she has to fit in that one color mode!
I like the colors!
I love those two colors together and the dress is awesome!!!! Great job!
LOVE them! What a great color combo.
Nope, not at all! I love the non-matchy BM look, and I think the colors you have chosen compliment one another very nicely.
I love color too, and I think these dresses look great together!
Love the colors! What a great idea to have different colors but still the same scheme!
I LOVE them... they are beautiful and totally a dress that you can wear again and again! Gorgeous choice!
no, you have NOT lost your mind. people have such weird ideas about color. these dresses are fabulous!! i love them. and those colors work so well together. it's going to be beautiful.
I think it will look beautiful, and I love the dress style, too!
Our save the date cards and invites are green, blue, white, and brown. I like color too although I tend to stay with the "Ocean" color theme...regardless of what it is. I have already decided that the nursery will be green, blue, and brown. Boy or girl, I don't care.
Yay for the dresses - they're just colorful and fun! It's appropriate that the MOH dress is a different color and the pink and blue go together nicely.
They look so great together!!! Great choices!

No mind losing - I love it. Whatever makes you happy!!
I love the colors...they look great! we're doing a raspberry color too, but ours is a little bit darker, so we're incorporating a light, light pink. And, I love chiffon (that's what my girls dresses are made of too, it's so beautiful!)
Great colors! That dresses are beautiful!
I love color too! I think it will look great. I love lots of different "shades" of similar colors. I can't wait to see your centerpiece colors.

Love it! Those are the exact colors of Christmas ornaments I made last year. No longer on Etsy. How exciting for you!
i love it. the colors go together quite well and are so lively :)
I think they look great. Reminds me of sherbet colours....great for a warm weather wedding in Cyprus!!
I think the dresses look fabulous! I love tea length dresses for bridesmaids, but unfortunately my sister got a large tattoo on her lower leg in her younger days and has since developed tattoo remorse and has vetoed the idea of tea length dresses at my wedding!
Your colors are fabulous together...and though not super close to mine, they are in the same basic shades and color scheme :) As a matter of fact, your swatches look almost exactly like mine! And just like you, my girls' dresses look a lot darker in the sample pics than in real life. You know I love turquoise since it's my main color with accents of deep cranberry red :) I think it's gorgeous and you are on track to bring all the colors together throughout the different elements of your wedding.
Oh, and I love the idea of white flowers against the girls' dresses!
I love those dresses! And the colors are gorgeous!!
