Dressing your bridesmaids with your dress in mind. Help!

Hey all!
So one of my BMs fiance's deployment got moved up so shes leaving for out west by the end of July now (rather then end of september) so my bridesmaid dress search just got moved wayyy up!!
We went to our first appt yesterday and something I thought would be relatively easy (haha) ended up being ridiculously difficult, and I only have 4 girls.

Anyways, the major concerns they raised were actually good questions that I then realized I have no idea about:
-My dress is very beaded and has a lot of lace, so a few of them questioned my desire to put them in something either lacey or with beading, saying it might distract or clash with my dress.
- My colours are emerald green and gold so if there was going to be bling on their dresses I wanted it to be gold with the green but on my dress the beading is pewter. And they raised concern over the mixed metals side by side.

Honestly, I hadnt even been thinking about how it would look with my dress at all.
So, anyone that has a lace or beaded (or both) dress- what did your maids wear?
Pictures would be much appreciated!
TIA!!

My dress is heavily beaded at the top and tulle for the bottom. My girls are also wearing Azazie dresses - they're all chiffon so no beading to clash there.

My colours are also emerald and gold! i’m avoiding lace or beading, if possible. they’ll just have plain styles. We’re ordering from Azazie so they’ll each pick a style they love and go with that!

All of my girls will be wearing a different dress - but they will all be the same colour (plum) and same length (floor). My dress is "plain" and clean-cut so none of them are having lace or sequins except my MOH who will have the top of her dress in sequins (still plum). I don't see it standing out too much as it's only one of my girls and a colour vs. white and bold.
I would say in general though the BM dresses are more flowy and not very glam as they aren't supposed to be the centre of attention.

So my dress is all lace with tulle at the bottom. I didn’t want my girls to match me exactly. They will all be in burgundy chiffon dresses.
You don’t want to match your dress to theirs 100%, you want something that will compliment and make you stand out.
I would do a solid green, and just get a necklace or earrings that match the beading in your dress.
