Bridesmaid dress color

Hi everyone! I just wanted to see if anyone could give me an impartial opinion. I’m having a hard time picking out the color of my bridesmaid dresses. I have this irrational fear I’m going to pick the wrong shade of pink and everything is going to look terrible.

Attached is my florists mood board. Im getting married Labor Day weekend in the Hudson Valley, NY.
My dress has some metallic floral accents ( more silver-looking than gold) I had originally wanted champagne dresses but I think it would clash a bit.
Any advice or thoughts are much much appreciated!

Champagne would look romantic in a high satin finish, depending on the venue/time of day. Otherwise, I would go with a blush tone which is trendy and really beautiful on all skin tones. The green in the mood board would be my fav, since it would tie in the earth tones of the scapes you are going for in your florals. ♥️

Green or blush would be really pretty. You could maybe even do a peach type color

I'm partial to the two pink shades, particularly the lighter one. I think the color would contrast just right, rather than clash.

If this mood board is the overall look you want to achieve, then I would lean toward the peachier shade (maybe lighter version of the far left color in the palette) - similar to the dress in the top right. I think that would bring the overall vision to life the best - it's pretty warm in tone overall so I wouldn't go with the frosty light pink, I think that works better as an accent color for this palette.
That said, I'd also think about your BMs who will be wearing these dresses and if they have any colors they don't like on themselves. I avoid wearing anything peach or light pink bc my skin has a lot of pink in it and it clashes terribly - if a bride asked me to wear those colors I'd have to use full-body makeup and even then it would be questionable, LOL. If your BMs all have more neutral / yellow undertones in their skin, it would probably look great! If some of them are really pink like me, then a shade of green might be a better choice. Maybe take a few of them shopping and see what they think, or order a bunch of swatches of pinks and greens that might fit your palette (Revelry will send you swatch cards of every dress color they have, easy online ordering process) and get their opinions?
