In a wedding, what color flowers would go with navy dresses?

I am getting married in July of 2007. I have my bridesmaids wearing navy but am totally stumped on what color flowers to have. Initially I was going to go with yellow and white flowers calla lilies and roses. I keep looking at it and feel like I need to go with more color or just stick to white flowers. I just am not sure I like the yellow as the stand out color by itself. any suggestions?

In a wedding, what color flowers would go with navy dresses?
There's 2 color combos that I love with navy

1. The deep deep yellow of spider mums and roses

2. Pink in any flower
Reply:Navy is a very dark color (like black) and so any splash of color looks good with it. The white is definitely a nice contrast, but the yellow should be nice as well. I wouldnt do yellow without white to offset however.... some people's skin tones dont like yellow.
Reply:Get red roses and white lillies and Yellow. Go with multiple colors and it will make the bouquet even more gorgeous!
Reply:actually, light orange/pink would be nice too. :) especially because it is summer.. good luck, im sure it'll be Beautiful~~
Reply:bright pink, yellow and orange!
Reply:Go with the white color
Reply:Red, white and light blue.
Reply:Red roses would be beautiful against the navy dresses. Or just a creme colored flower.



Best Wishes.
Reply:I think cream goes well with navy.Good luck.
Reply:Navy is really neutral. I would do a variety of colors. But if you are looking for just one, I think that yellow would be great.
Reply:White, or off white
Reply:Actually, white roses may compliment, but look into Hydrengas, Iris, Orchids, and delphiniums. To name a few...You want the richer blue to accent the arrangements with lighter colors in the background. The actual arrangment should be thought through depending on the linen arrangements for the tables.
Reply:I think a splash of mixed colours looks beautiful for a summer wedding - I've tagged some bouquet ideas for you to have a look at - I also think lavender or blue flowers would be really nice.



Hydrangeas would be really pretty and summery . Try tone on tone - use different shades from the same colour range to add extra depth and interest to your arrangements try Hydrangeas, Delphinium and Lavender together -and you can get these as pot plants or as cut flowers; they come in blues, whites, pinks and pale green and their huge flower heads have real impact.

Reply:I think your flower choices were beautiful. You can also go with another shade of blue with white. Yellow is the most complementary color however.
Reply:red and white
Reply:You can get anything to go with Navy blue. Since you're doing a wedding in July, you can get a lot of beautiful colors of flowers. I think that yellow would work really well--it would really pop when contrasted with navy blue dresses. Also, you could go preppy with pink or green flowers.

I would suggest getting a color wheel where you can see complementary colors, etc.

Best wishes!!
Reply:white or pink But i think you should definitely go with white
Reply:I think yellow would look best... but remember if your looking at flowers now ... the color changes in the season so you want to ask about that!
Reply:I would probably not have yellow. I like white, corals, pinks.



Have you consulted a florist? They're a great resource, bring a swatch of the fabric %26amp; you'll get a better idea of what goes.
Reply:Here is a list of flowers readily available in July (in season flowers are least expensive). I would look through Google images to look at the variations you'd find in the flowers. Navy can go with anything bright (think bright pinks, yellows, reds), but also muted colors work well, too (lavenders, greens, muted oranges/pinks). Given that you're going with a dark color for the 'maids, I would make their floral arrangements stand out, because in the summery months, brighter colors will pop in your photos and decor, etc., and with the dark dresses, you don't want too many muted/dark colors.



Congrats.

Make sure you have a brightly-lit setting to offset the darkness of those navy dresses, otherwise your photos will have quite a dark effect. Bright flowers will also help.
Reply:I actually had navy dresses in my wedding as well and used pink, white with a few blue flowers in the bouquets and they turned out really nice. Yellow would also look very cute too maybe mixed with some white and pinks or reds.
Reply:red and white!! that would be soooooooooooo pretty!!! and then with the navy dresses... oooweee! how purdy!
Reply:White or red.
Reply:I had navy dresses for my wedding as well! I went with pale yellow, white and a lighter shade of blue and I think it went really well together. Congratulations and good luck!
Reply:Go with white calla lillies and hot pink roses.
Reply:red roses and green tulips
Reply:slate blue %26amp; cream (hydrangeas %26amp; calla lillies or day lillies)

or

pink %26amp; dove gray (pink roses %26amp; hydrangeas)

or

pale yellow %26amp; cream (daisies %26amp; rinuculus)

Navy is a lovely choice btw! Very chic. And gray or metallic tones are very hot next season.

Hope this helps!
Reply:First of all, what color hair do your attendants have????

That needs to be considered.

I would not go with yellow or red at all.

My first choice with navy would be carnations tipped in light blue....like an aqua/baby blue. That was a very popular combination of colors for Easter corsages in the 1960s and 1970s.

My second choice, would be magenta with the navy which would give you a larger variety of flowers. Magenta Star Gazer lillies would really brighten up that Navy! You could also accesorize with other magenta items at the altar and at the reception.

Navy can be very stunning IF you select the correct accent colors. You may also want to decorate with silver, too. Silver necklaces for your attendants...silver decorations as well.

It will be a lovely wedding....navy is a classic color just accesorize very carefully. Enjoy your wedding!!!
