Wedding Colors

Actually

Do I need to pick more than one color or is one okay? Argh!

Actually

red. Besides my dress of course with is an off white

The only thing you may run into is that you are going to have to choose a secondary color on many different things; if you think about the flowers, the invitations, the tuxes, the ties, the flower girl dresses, the shoes, the table setting, etc. If you just like red, I think different shades of red or accents of white in the flowers, table settings, invitations, would be pretty easy and classic!

two color is good choice.

That is true, but we are not having a "traditional wedding." There are no flower girls, table settings, or invitaions. At least at this moment there is only going to be a best man and matron of honor. But Shades of red make sense for the flowers.

you will most likely need/want a 2nd or 3rd color -- just to break up all the red.  do a google image search for "red wedding" to get some ideas.

typical accent colors seem to be:
gold/yellow
silver/white/ivory
black
green

Not going to lie, I had 4 colors in my wedding, each girl wore the same dress in a different color, so I am partial to colorful weddings. That being said, I think if you can envision a single color wedding and it makes you tickle-y inside, then that is what you should go for. I could not pick one, and when I put them all together I got the feeling, you'll know it when you can picture your wedding in your head.

FYI if you're wondering what a multicolor wedding party turns out, here is a non-pro pic snapped from the audience:

I like red and navy together, I think it looks classy but it's a little more colorful than red & black!
