Purple And Gold Wedding In July?

Hi,
As far as the colors, I really think that it doesn`t matter what you use, as long as they do coordinate well. My friend had black dresses for her bridesmaids and it did not look too "dark" or anything. It looked very nice. As for the Lakers colors, I`m not sure about that....I think if you used purple dresses and yellow vests, it would be screaming Lakers! I would try something like the purple dresses with a silver/white vest, and then maybe incorporate some yellow touches into the flowers, etc. So that the 2 main colors aren`t purple/gold. However, I am sure you could pull it off somehow if he insists....I just don`t have any other ideas yet!
