Looking for help picking flower colors

TheFutureMrsB81

Our BM dresses are the Sangria color from DB. My dress is ivory so I want nothing white. I'm having a hard time trying to find an exact match for the sangria colors so I'm trying to find other options. Also, we're going with silk/real touch/ preserved for the BM and real for my boquet. Any suggestions/ideas? TIA!!!

Do you have an accent color? 

Pale pink might look nice with Sangria.  You can also get lots of flowers in Ivory.

I would think a bright sunny yellow or golden yellow would look gorgeous and really pop!  Something like these

That last one with sangria or ivory ribbon (sangria for you and ivory for the MOH and BM's.)
Good luck!

I forgot to add...in the bouquets that have white, I would just substitute in ivory or pale yellow flowers!  I know you said you didn't want white!

I'm not sure about yellow. Yellow and Orange are not colors I normally tend to gravitate too.

I was thinking the ivory and a pale pink too. Would it be ok to have their boquets ALL pink while mine is ivory with hints of pink?

Our other colors are probably going to be silver/gray and black. Still up in the air with that on what else would look good with the Sangria.

IIf you want red or mostly red flowers, I'd suggest you go with several shades of red so it will "blend" rather than match the exact shade of sangria.

Or get the closest shade you can, and add a pink or purple filler flowers to tone down the red and help it blend. I like a little rust-red or peachy red mixed in, with a shade of antique lavender to tone down red.  Maybe some purple limonium.

oops, I was thinking "sangria" was more wine/reddish colored.  For the more violet tone of the sangria, the pale peachy-pink color would be beautiful.  Maybe with a little mauve or lavender accents?  Something like this:

This one is gorgeous!  I have seen the sangria in person and think this would go really well with it!
