Who's got a good imagination to help my poor tired brain?

"Spring" and "purple" makes me think of heathland and heather, so you've got the option of a "country garden" or "rustic" theme, at a stretch even something Scottish if you have any links with Scotland?

I think the silver is why you're struggling to be honest - and tying yourself down with things that feel 'wintery'. Sure, silver for jewelery is fine but not sure you need to add it for the dresses?

Alternatively, gold and purple together come across as 'royal' and might suit an Egyptian theme? Honeymoon in Egypt, perhaps?

Lime Green

Purple and Yellow:

Pinks, Lilac

My first thought with that dress was like a pale sage green, vintage, garden theme. Made me think of humming birds and crickets singing!

Hello. I just got back from being a bridesmaid in Aus, and wore this exact dress - I nearly jumped off my chair when I saw it. It was beautiful to wear. There were three bridesmaids in total, and we each had gold shoes and wore a roman style criss cross of beads in our hair to match. It looked fab - although I do like the purple and green suggestion posted above too!

Just loving all your ideas! I never even thought of green and purple to be honest! Quite liking the idea of pinks and purple too!

Really like the thought of "Country garden/Rustic" idea too, thats the sort of thing I had in my head actually ?

So I think thats the sort of theme ill go with, just got to decide on colour and then I can get going!! Ive got to pick my invites/decoration/favours next so as soon as i get on with that Ill be alright!

Thanks peeps and if anyone thinks of anything else the ideas will be greatly received!! xx

I think that if you like Country Garden then green is def the way forward - maybe with a hint of pink in your bouquet too?

That dress looks beautiful, where is it from/which designer is it? Am in very early stages of planning & having trouble finding any bridesmaids dresses I like! Have only set a year to get married, not got a date yet

There may be a bit of a continuing theme going on here, but like many of the others as soon as I saw your BM dress I immediately thought green, either something very subtle and soft like a light sage, or something a bit jazzier like a lime green. They'd both look lovely.

I'm really liking the sound of the green with the purple, I would never have thought of those two colours together to be honest so thanks all ladies!!

The BM Dresses are Alfred Angelo 7016 in victorian lilac and my BM's loved them as they are a very flattering shape xx

I vote for green too - either sage or lime green would look fantastic.

I absolutely love the lime green that Sherrie has suggested.

HMMM - is it too late to change all my plans?!!

I think you need to back off the silver, but replace it with just that touch of glitz instead. Crystals, sequins, spangle, glitter.

This should give it all a much more luxury feel without going wintery.
