Help with colour coordination for bridesmaids

Hello! I am a bit stuck with knowing what colours will go with my dress and my partners suit in terms of bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen suits. Our colour theme is blues, greys - beachy type colours. My dress is a champagne colour and my fiancé just purchased a dark blue suit. I just have no idea if the groomsmen are supposed to match the bridesmaids.. would silvery/grey be too mixed against what we are wearing for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to wear or would it be better to go for a lighter blue to be different than the groom but match him wearing blue? Any advice would be welcome! Thank you!

Groomsmen traditionally match the grooms suit and they have ties matching the colour of the bridesmaids x

I think like a taupe colour would be nice for the bridesmaids to go with your dress.
Groomsmen match the groom traditionally.

My husband wore a grey waistcoat and navy trousers with a lilac tie and the groomsmen all wore grey waistcoats and navy trousers with lemon ties to fit in with the lilac and lemon colour scheme x our bridesmaids were in lemon as well 😊

I'd go dark blue suits for the groomsmen, to match the groom, with a tie matching your bridesmaids dresses. Maybe a Pewter type colour for dresses :) xx

I think champagne and royal blue goes lovely 😊

I'm having blue and coral

I would suggest typing 'champagne and navy blue wedding' into Pinterest, and it will give you some inspiration that will help.

I would say a coral colour would look beautiful. Maybe your flowers could be a corally colour to blend them all together xx

My colour theme is going to be navy and peach. They go lovely together. Groom wearing navy suit with a peach tie etc. Bridesmaid then also in peach colour :)

I had a champagne colour wedding dress and husband wore navy blue, our bridesmaid wore navy blue to. Our best man wore navy too, but I didn't ask anyone else to.
We had a seaside theme xx

Pinterest is the best for these things!

I would put the girls in sky blue and then men in pale grey. The colours go well together and a nice contrast to what you and h2b are wearing.

Our colour scheme is grey and champagne. Bridesmaids and flower girls have champagne dresses and the men have grey suits with champagne cravats and waistcoats. Typically you try and match the groomsman accessories with the bridesmaids xx

My bridesmaids are in dark blue, but that was just coincidental as they all looked good in the same dress and decided they wanted them - they were just going to wear whatever was comfortable. The groomsmen are just wearing whatever they want, but will all have a matching buttonhole. If you desperately want a colour scheme then there are loads of ideas on Pinterest, but thankfully most colours go with champagne! 🙂 x

My dress was ivory. My husband and groomsmen were navy blue. There were touches of silver/ivory throughout (winter wedding). Bridesmaids were going to be navy or deep silver. They ended up being buttercup yellow and it looked amazing.
