I would go neutrals. Creams, taupe, beige etc. and add hints of the pink in your flowers, napkins just a few details. I think neutrals make a wedding very sophisticated and elegant.

Look at the bouquet in the picture to get an overall color scheme. I think that white and green flowers would accentuate this dress beautifully. Green is the oppostie of red on the color spectrum so a pastel green would work very nicely. It would be wonderful for a spring wedding. Also try having a few different hues of the raspberry tone in the dress. Sweet Pea, Peonies, Lillies, ranunculus, are all beautiful flowers and have some beautiful colors. Pink and purples together are a little 80's teeny bopper. My colors are lavender and silver with light touches of cream and yellow to make the colors pop. Go with whatever you feel appropriate though.

I think you have a lot of color choices with this dress, which is a gorgeous color by the way. You could use just about any pastel color with it, or even black. I would try to think of another color that is significant to you but I personally like the light blue that is on that website. It's not with the dress but it's so close there you can see how it would work.

I think a soft gray or grayish blue would be nice. With gray for the men like in traditional English weddings. Or I think a soft floral accent could also be nice for the ladies if brought in as a sheer wrap for their dresses and for a young flower girl's dress. Not knowing what month or Season the wedding takes place makes it difficult to advice. But I agree the dress is wonderful and the color nice also.

well what i would suggest is silver and white for you and in the flowers for the bridesmaids' could have silver, white a light green and a matching color to the dress. if it's in the summer may i suggest lilys' they are so pretty. and a nice arm lay of just 2 or 3 lilys' and maybe a ribbon tieing then together, with that dress would look astounding!! there's my two cents hope it helps...

The green that is in the flowers by the dress looks great with it. The flowers in the wedding could have the color of the dress along with the green.
The dress is beautiful. Great choice.

The dress is gorgeous! A definite color would be white. However, if you aren't looking for a solid color, then a powder pink color or a very very light yellow.
Congrats!

That dress is gorgeous! I am using a similar dress and similar color for my wedding. My secondary color is brown. I think it would be beutiful with cherry blossom (brown and pink), also there are some flowers that have the brown and rose too. I have noticed quite a few brown accesories recently too. Good luck!

A motif is a theme. You are asking about colors. How about teal, lilac, light yellow....? How did you get bridesmaids that are all exceptionally tall and thin? They would have to be to pull off that dress!

I say soft lavenders or really soft pastel pinks or anything with some cream color to it a lil bit. Its a really great color. You may even try asking the dress ppl too what are their ideas.
