Ask VG: French Provincial Palette?

I’m planning a mid-September outdoor wedding in upstate NY (it’s in my parents’ backyard) with a vintage, French-provincial look. My dress is a simple off-white lace sheath with a slight delicate ruffle on the cap sleeves. I’m carrying a cluster of deep purple violets as a bouquet, and using them as centerpieces along with different antique vases and vintage napkins.

I’m looking for a complementary color for my five bridesmaids (to go with the off-white and deep purple/violet palette) and can’t seem to decide! Can you offer any advice?

Here is the color palette based on her inspiration board, including a complimentary color for her bridesmaid dresses:

A leafy green color is not only flattering on any complexion, but it is also blends well with mocha brown and off white. So chic!
