color to go with marine blue

Hello!  Does anyone have any ideas on what would be a good color to go with marine blue?  Something besides silver.  Thanks!

    I used butter yellow and other shades of blue.  My bouquet:


      
    I wanted a classic timeless look.   Silver or gold would also be very traditional.  Some other ideas: 

    For high contrast, choose bright orange.
    For preppy fun, choose bubblegum pink
    For a vivacious look, choose lime green.
    For a modern look, choose a bright fuschia
    For an almost monochromatic look, choose a deep purple 
    For a true monochromatic look mix shades of blue. 

    Now I am biased towards the yellow but any of these others also would work.

    I am rather partial to soft yellow as well. I'm having soft yellow spray roses in my bouquet (along with white callas, blue hydrangea and blue delphinium).

    Are you going with any type of theme for the wedding?  Because that would be good to know.  Also, when is your wedding?...spring, summer, winter, fall?

    Almost any color will go well with that shade of blue.

    Yellow or orange would be complimentary to blue on the color wheel.  For Spring or summer weddings, you can go with soft pastels, or bright bold colors either one.  For a Fall wedding, a deep gold and burnt orange would be great.

    Or blues and greens would be nice too.  A lime green can be bold and contemorary.

    I am so happy to see your post.  I am getting married in July and our colors are Navy Blue, Yellow, and White.  I have been trying to decide on what shade of yellow for months now.  I am having gerbera daisies so I need to figure out what shade they come in.  Also, I want the yellow to stand out in pictures.
