Colors?

Okay, so...my dress is white (VERY white), and my bridesmaids are wearing a champagne top with a very dark teal skirt and sash. The champagne and teal look beautiful together...but I'm a little worried about the champagne next to my white dress, and the dark teal next to black tuxes. And what color flowers? I was thinking...possibly a very light pink would go well with that. Any opinions? P.S. The wedding's in July

Hold the champagne next to the white.  Generally there is sufficient contrast between the two to highlight both in a beautiful way.  

For flowers, light pink seems very predictable.  I would go with a more unique color like a dusty rose mixed with some dark aubergine and rich burgundy for a luxurious look.  Summer has flowers in such rich colors that you may want to take advantage of that.

The champagne and teal should look just fine next to the black and white. A very light pink flower would be pretty and you can mix it with some white ones too to add some depth and variety. You also might consider looking into pale yellows or blues for flowers. I bet you could try some bolder colors too, but from what you describe, I have a picture of very pretty soft colors to go with the dark teal.

I agree with PP.  also, if you don't have the actual garments available to put next to each other, find paint swatches that match, or use colourlovers.com to 'put the colors together'.  once you have the attire colors together, find complementary flower colors.  I agree with PP about the dusty rose and burgundy colors. maybe add in a little baby's breath too to tie in your white dress?

Thanks! I'm terrible at putting colors together, so this really helps. I like the dusty rose and burgundy idea...I hadn't even thought of that. Although I still like the idea of using light colors too..... Lol I'll figure something out. These ideas helped a lot!
