Chocolate/ Wine Color Scheme For Fall Wedding

I am getting married in September of this year and I am using the fall colors. The wedding is outside in front of a covered bridge.

My dress is a rum color. I was thinking of my bridesmaids wearing Chocolate brown dresses (since they are becoming so popular) and carrying "wine" (burgundy) colored flowers. My question is how will the girls in their dresses look next to the guys in their black tuxes? Another question is what color should I go with for the guys vests and ties -- chocolate or wine???

Has anyone else ever used these colors...if so how did they look? The chocolate brown is a very pretty shimmery brown....it is actually called hazelnut. Should I change my girls dresses to the wine color and if so what color should I use for the flowers.

PLEASE HELP....I have to get my dresses ordered within the next 2 weeks and I am so torn.

Thank You!!!

Hello, the colors you have chosen are wonderful together. The only thing that I would recommend it adding with the Chocolate and wine colors is an off white color you can use roses call terracotta, which is a wine color and vendela which is an off white color. With the wine dresses they will stand out more with some off white. The girls dresses will look fine with the guys black tuxedo. And as for thier vests one of the three colors will look good. You can match them with the girls dress and use a different color flower for the boutonere. If you have any other questions please feel free to e-mail me.
