Hello everyone!

For a winter wedding I am thinking dark navy blue, silvers, pearl white and black for my colors... Do you think I need a "pop" color to use lightly (I'm thinking bright purple or pink?)  My bridesmaids will be wearing dark blue dresses, groomsmen in black tuxes and groomswoman in a black dress (similar to the bridesmaids dress)... Also, do you think I should have all girls wear black so the groomswoman won't stand out too much??

Any suggestions are MUCH apprecaited!!!!

    What color flowers will you have?  Navy blue flowers can be harder to find.  Or all white flowers?  Maybe that's where you could add a little pop of color.

    i think those colors sound very elegant by themselves, with white flowers. but if you are more in favor of something fun, i would add colorful flowers for the pop.

    First I wanted to say that I really like your color selection!  I agree with the other posters that you don't need a pop of color, but if you wanted one you could definitely add one through flowers and little details -  like bright pink, apple green, purple or yellow.  As far as your BM in navy and groomswoman in black I think that would be fine.. or you could even have your groomswoman also wear navy.  I think whatever choice you make will be fine!

    I love your color choice! I agree that you don't need anything else! We are doing black and ivory, but having super bright and colorful flowers. I think you could easily do something like that, although I can also totally see like creamy and white colored flowers, but instead of color to add interest, you could choose flowers with a lot of different textures!

    That is pretty much my color theme.  We are getting married in the summer and I am using a lot of bright colored flowers.  Coral, Bright Pink and Yellow.  I can't wait to see how it all ends up looking but I love the blue, black, white, silver colors.  I think a pop of color on the flowers is great but that's also what I'm doing so I'm biased.  In the winter, I think you could just keep with white flowers and it would give it the wintry feel.
