Changing Wedding Colors....halfway through the engagement..

We got engaged December 2010 & our wedding is April 2012.

Not too long after we got engaged I have come up with what I thought was the "Perfect" color scheme: Black & White 'Traditions' Damask with hints of Pink (all pink flowers).

However... there are certain parts of this color scheme that I do not like so much any more.

The main thing I'd like to change is the bridesmaid's dresses. (The color, not the style.) I also think I want to "brighten" it up a little, maybe changing the color of linens at the reception?

This is what I am leaning towards: Gray & Pink with hints of Damask.

One of the reasons I want to change the BM dress color is because I am not too fond of sticking out in wedding pics like 'a sore thumb' (not in the bad way, but just in a way that is like BAM(!) there's the bride!) haha, And yes, I know that it will be kind of hard to blend in when wearing a rather large dress with a cathedral length train, but still I think standing in a white(ivory) dress surrounded by people wearing black would make me feel like the odd duck out. (..I'm just weird like that).

So that is why I like the gray/silver BM dresses better.

Also, using the gray or silver-ish linens would help 'brighten' the reception a little more for a Spring wedding.

But with all that said, I still am fond of the Damask pattern.

My Question: What do you think of changing my colors from Black & White Damask with Pink to Gray & Pink with Damask? Is it 'do-able' without being a complete 180?
