Answer
The bridesmaids' dresses could be champagne or ivory just like yours, with the addition of colorful sashes. They could be all the same color â tangerine, turquoise, leaf green, sky blue, deep pink, violet â or several different colors. Your own sash could match your dress exactly.
A traditional custom was for the bridesmaids to dress very much like the bride, so that any "evil spirits" would get confused and not zero in on the bride.
Having lots of different colors would make decorating for the reception very easy. Summer flower colors for a July wedding would be lovely.

It will be a winter wedding. I want something not to inexpensive but not too expensive. I dont like puffy dresses, I do like the modern look type. Yes, real silk. Please help.
All comments will be helpful thanks!

I would go start trying things on. Go to a smaller, privately owned bridal shops (instead of larger chain stores), in my opinion the sales people are just more knowledgeable. Since you have a good idea of what you want, go in and explain it to them and they will be able to pull dresses that are what you have in mind. Almost all wedding dresses can be ordered in either ivory or champaign, even if the sample is white (I'm having an ivory dress too).
Lastly, don't be shy to try dresses on that a sales person might suggest. They have a great eye for body shape and what will look good on your and still be what you have in mind - it's worth the 5 minutes to try something on, even if it isn't exactly what you picture or doesn't look great on the hanger. One of the salespeople at a little family owned shop suggested I try on a mermaid style gown and I fell in love!
The dress she suggested wasn't "the one" but I did eventually find my dress, and it's mermaid style - something I never thought I would like or look good on me! My reception dress will also be a mermaid style!
Good Luck and have fun! It may take multiple shopping trips to find the right one :)
Addition:
I noticed another posted recommended Casa Blanca - yes all their dresses are made of real silk, but at every store I've tried them on at (I actually like a quite a few of their designs) they are always overpriced. I don't know why, maybe because they are a Canadian designer and made in Canada, but these dresses are always priced $500-900 more than they are really worth. And this is coming from my mother who used to design and make wedding gowns and owned a bridal store for 6 years.
