Your wedding. Your favorite colors. Creating a truly unique and elegant wedding theme and color scheme is easy. Following are some ideas for color schemes for you:
If you like purples try ~ Lilac, Lavender, Periwinkle, Purple, add Sky Blue as an accent.
If you love bright pink try ~ Hot pink, Fuchsia, Light pink, Red, add Lime or Tangerine as your accent color!
If you adore warm oranges try ~ Tangerine, Coral, Red, add soft Violet, Sky Blue or Fuchsia as your accent color.
If you like burgundy try ~ Dark Green, Golds, Champagne, Creams, add any of these as your accent.
If you love blues try ~ Deep Ocean Blue, Navy Blue, Sky Blue, Periwinkle, add Tangerine, Silver or Sandy Brown as your accent.
Fall colors ~ Burgundy, Dark Green, Navy Blue, Silver, Gold, Creams, Burnt Orange, Taupe, Brown and Plum.
Winter colors ~ Red, Silver, White, Cream, Burgundy, Sky Blue, Navy Blue, Purple, Plum and Gold.
Spring colors ~ Pink, Tangerine, Lilac, Periwinkle, Hot Pink, Fuchsia, Lime, Yellow, Cream, Soft Violet and White.

I think there are some colors that go with certain seasons. So, if the wedding is in spring, I think pastels are very pretty. For a summer wedding, brighter colors and then for a fall wedding, browns (can be very pretty with pink), oranges or reds.
Actually, red photographs VERY nicely.

Depends on the theme, location, whether it's big and fancy or small and simple. It's a great idea to pick 2 or 3 colors together. My wedding was a beach wedding, my colors were turquoise and brown.

You didn't tell us what time of the year you are getting married which would have been easier to give you colors for that time of the year. Here's my opinion.
*Sping weddings
Sage green & pink
Lavender, purple, white and silver
Lavender and sage
*Summer weddings
ALL of the spring colors can be used
Peach, white accented with gold
*Fall weddings
Black, white, silver
chocolate brown, pink, cream accented with gold
burnt orange, cream and gold
burgundy, cream, gold,
burgundy, silver, white
hunter green, white and gold
Royal blue, white, black and silver
*Winter colors
baby blue, white, and silver
White wedding
burdundy, cream and gold
hunter green, white and gold
Holiday weddings
Christmas- red, white, green gold
Thanksgiving- use fall colors
Easter wedding- spring colors can be used

The bridesmaids don't have to match your dress. You can choose any color under the rainbow for their dresses and it should be fine. Champagne is a neutral color in my opinion. Take into consideration, the season that your wedding will take place, the theme that you choose for the wedding to match their dresses or it can even be your favorite color.

Depends on when the wedding is.
I still love my color scheme: Amethyst, Magenta, Lime Green with accents of ivory

I think a “Sunset" (reds, orange, yellows, hot pinks) theme of colors would be nice for spring or summer. Pick orange, red, yellow, deep green for fall. Maybe royal blue and silver for a winter wedding.

My wedding was all done in neutral colours. The girls wore a light gold colour. All the linens were cream. We used some white lights to decorate outside and white and green hanging flowers. The centerpieces were white flowers with a touch of pink lilies and lots of greenery. It was beautiful.

Light, minty greens with silver and white. the cocktails look great at the reception too. It makes more for a romantic wedding with lighter flowing colors than dark and drabby.
It's always a good choice too if you don't make your brides maids look dumpy either. ( I've always felt the bride that picks ugly braidsmaid dresses was affraid of them looking better than her).
