Red Dresses for the Girls...what color flowers?!

So I am having a January wedding and the girls will be wearing apple red.  My florist is leaning towards more red flowers...only now I am thinking ivory, red on red is too much!  What do you guys think?

    Do you have an accent color that you could incorporate?  Why not have ivory/white and red flowers?

    I would do ivory flowers so that they pop against the red, but a mix would be nice too. :)

    OOOH...We are having a september wedding, but my ladies' dresses are apple too...with orange (tangerine) flowers.  Gerbera daisies and lilies.  The orange is a beautiful accent color against the apple red.

    You could do just about any color you want. I've seen a light blue on red and orange on red like PP stated. Use Google for some inspiration. Nothing says you have to use white. :)

    If you want simple and elegant, all white/ivory flowers or a mix of red and white.

    If you want creative, try a mix of colors or a solid contrating or complimentary color.  Like various shades of red, orange, peach, pink, magenta, purples, yellow/gold, or lime green:

    I had apple red BM dresses too.  We chose circus roses (yellow with red tips).  There are other bi-colored roses (white with red tips) that might look pretty.

    I am having an October wedding, and the girls will be in apple red floor-length dresses.  My bridesmaid bouquets are 3 forever red roses in the center with 9 white carnations on the outside.  The bouquets also have some greenery on the bottom, outlining the bouquet.
