Wedding Fuschia tux vest & BM dress too much? Cocktail Reception question

[PrincessD]

My FH wants to match the bridesmaids with the fuschia. Has anyone done this? I havent seen any pics and was just curious if it''ll be to much?. I am having a very hard time deciding on what to do with flowers as well. I think I want to do hot pink roses for me and for my girls maybe more orange roses and lilies and a few hot pink roses and carnations mixed in there as well. What do you think?

My second question is
We are getting married at Mandalay Bay in Vegas on a Sat. at 2:30, now we want to have a cocktail reception up in a penthouse suite afterwards. Most of the restaurants dont open til 5 and we wanted to have the food catered. Would it be awkward to have the cocktails start at 4:30 or so? We upgraded the photo package so that we''ll get 2 hours after the wedding with him. I''m not sure if he is going to follow us around and then go up to the reception as well for a bit or not. I know I can ask the coordinator some of these questions, but I''m curious to see if any of you have any input. Thanks for your input! It''s appreciated.

It's a lot of pink for me personally if the vests and the BM's dresses match exactly...but if you and he love it that is all that matters!

As for the reception, I think it's rude to force guests to occupy themselves for hours between the ceremony and the reception...so is there any way you could move back the ceremony a bit? I'm not sure why you can't start the cocktail reception earlier either, even if the restaurants open at 5, they should be able to cater at anytime, no?

Yeah, I''m not sure about the catering thing, I''m going to call on Friday and get somethings straightened out. I''m not really sure what other color the boys could wear. I thought black , but FH wants pink, ugh.lol. Originally I just wanted fuschia as "my color", but now I want to throw bright orange and black in the mix, so thats what I''m playing around with now.
