I was wondering if a pale silvery gray would work for her dress? In the photos that tone appears to show up in the bark of the trees at the moment.
It'd be neutral but still behave like shiny silks do and pick up the surrounding colours. You'd have to calculate out where the hues would catch but the silvery fabric would softly absorb and reflect some of the reds and greens from the roses. Light washes of those colours as highlights to tie in the dress with the rest of the piece. You'd probably also have those pale blue/violet tones show up in the gray itself. Don't know if that would even be the effect you'd be going for though. Also might be complicated to achieve. ^_^;;
