    Your favors absolutely don't have to match your color scheme. You could do chocolates, a favorite candy, etc.

    As far as another color, I think silver or champagne would be lovely. I also think an eggplant or black would be gorgeous and dramatic, but you said you were looking for something light.

    Doesn't have to match. Mine do - somewhat - but only because it worked out that way. The "blue" option is just close to the "blue" of everything else.

    I agree with all of that! Any of those colors would be great!

    I personally wanted mine to match, but its not mandatory. I did a candy buffet for mine though and my colors were black, bronze and burnt orange so it wasn't that difficult to find candy in those colors.

    They don't have to be.  But just as a suggestion to consider.  My DD had lavender as one of her colors.  The other was a honeydew melon green.  They were beautiful together.

    No, they don't have to match.  Why not do a complementary colour?  Any neutral - e.g. black, silver, gold, gray, brown would work very well.  Or just a pick a colour that you think looks pretty with the wisteria.

    My mom's colors, in 1972, were lavender and pale yellow...used those same colors for their 35th anniversary party and they looked so nice together.

    The actual favors don't match, but I'm wrapping them in stuff that does match.

    I agree with the honeydew green suggestion.  That is exactly what I pictured when you said wisteria as your first color.  That would be very pretty.
