Need accent color flowers for "Tea party" wedding

My reception theme is going to be based around the mad hatter's tea party/Alice in Wonderland.  The colors that I have my bridesmaids in are sangria (from DB), purple, and marine (from DB).  I don't want boring bouquets - I was originally thinking about doing hydrangeas, but they die quickly and would probably not stand out.  What accent color would look good?  Yellow?

The wedding is in September.


THANKS!!

    I would do pops of orange.  Especially with an early fall wedding, that will give a seasonal touch without screaming autumn.  Orange/tiger lillies are relatively long lasting and then orange orchids would add interesting shapes and bright color.  Another way to get a few sprigs of bright color is to add a couple stems of artificial flowers.  Mixed in with a bunch of fresh flowers, no one will know, and you won't have to worry about them wilting.

    First, hydrangeas will be fine if worked with properly.

    Second, what about lime green?  It will definitely pop against the colors you already have.  My best suggestion is to go to Home Depot or Lowes and pick out paint swatches in your colors and then start matching them up to other bright colored swatches to see what would look best.
