How will this look?

My colors are Malibu blue (David's Bridal) and Silver. I am getting married in March. My bridesmaids are wearing malibu blue dresses (groomsmen, fiance, and best man will wear malibu ties). Fathers and ushers will wear silver ties.
Flowers are cala lillies.

Bridesmaids: yellow cala lillies with silver ribbon and malibu ribbon braided in.
Me= yellow and white cala lillies with silver/blue ribbon (same as BM)
Boys will have yellow cala lillies.

Do you think these colors will work out okay? I do not want to look back in 10 years and say I had a tacky wedding!

    I think the only way to really know for sure is to get swatches and one of each of the flowers and see how they all blend together.  I would think it would be fine, but I'm not so good at seeing things without them being all together.

    It sounds great to me. You could get silk flowers in similar colors/styles and see how they look with the other items you detailed.

    If you're having a beach wedding, those colors work.  But IMO a pastel like Malibu blue would look better with red instead of yellow as an accent color.  However, I think navy and yellow go well.  Basically I'd recommend mixing pastels with neutrals and/or jewel tones.

    I think it will look great, just be sure the colors are all in the same shade (you don't add any other blues or yellows that aren't the same elsewhere)

    It doesn't sound tacky, bring one of the ties and some silk flowers to davids bridal and hold it next to a sample of the dress color, also try to get an idea of your centerpiece to make sure it will look good all together throughout your wedding.

    Malibu blue and red? eek!! that just screams 4th of July to me!

    OP, I love the malibu blue and yellow combo. You could try a vibrant yellow or even a pastel yellow. Like PPs have said, grab a couple of flowers in the colors you're thinking, take them to DB and see which one looks best.
