Choosing colours for flowers, bridesmaids, etc..

I am trying to figure out what colours will best match with my dress. It is an ivory dress and i was hoping for nice and bright colours since it a late spring wedding, but i have been told that softer pastels go better with ivory. I know its my wedding and I can do whatever i want but I want it to look good! My bridesmaids dont have any preference to a colour and my only no no's are purple, blue and black. my favourite colour is pink and i was hoping to find a nice pink but i wanted to include at least one other accent colour. Luckily it is fairly early in the planing stage but any suggestions or ideas on how to decide would be so helpful!!

Hi Tracy,

Ivory will go nicely with a dusty pink/mauve color and chocolate makes a great accent to the ivory and mauve. A pink rose color will go well also. I can give you some links for fabric shades if you're interested.

Here are a few:

Iridescent Strawberry Silk

Iridescent Red Hot Pink

Lipstick Taffeta

Faded Fuchsia

That should get you started. You can look around those websites at their other shades of pink, as well. Let me know if I can be of any more help :)

If you want to chose lighter shade you can go with baby pink or in bright color you can opt for royal blue both look elegant and enhance your dress.
plus size dresses

Hi Tracy

So we know you are wearing Ivory, what colour are your bridesmaids wearing?? - This would make such
a huge difference in what you choose for them and than you can co-ordinate it so it all ties in nicely!!

I think you could do a lot with Ivory, I personally Like all shades of pinks with lime greens.
but on the other hand you could go with Late', chocolate colours with pinks - I recently did a great combination
of this if this helps you - check out my website under Wedding flowers or Love stories tab.

Cheers & good luck!

Good luck
