Answer 2

Ideally you just want to avoid an Easter egg effect. I'd avoid doing a variety of pastels in flowers or bridesmaids dresses. Instead, do a power color or a neutral, possibly a sheen (close to a metallic but not so shiny). Like a soft platinum gray with a sheen and they carry pale pink flowers. Or any shade of 'nude' beige to cocoa brown for the dresses with soft reflection, carrying pink flowers. If it's an evening wedding, you could do a charcoal color dress, not black, or even a gray with a fun print. (though prints are tricky, you don't want it to stand out too much).| If you chose a 'power' color, a deep red wine color dress with pale pink flowers would be pretty. Or a sage green. Posing natural colors (like you would find in 'nature' LOL) is striking. So working with any natural color green and pink is going to be beautiful. If you look at a color wheel at colors that are opposite each other, these are very complementary. When dealing with a tint like pink the opposing color will be a tint of green. (a hue mixed with white). You cannot go wrong with that.

My sister got married a couple of years ago, and she had a light lavender color. It was like periwinkle or something I dont know. But her other color was a pastel yellow, and it looked really really good together. She had a spring wedding so it went nice. I on the other hand am haveing a fall wedding this coming october, and my colors are very much the opposite! but good luck on finding colors that go well!

Answer 4

I would go for other shade of purple like dark purple, even royal blue, or a very light pink. If you look at purple flowers, they usually have different shades of the same colour, to go for a contrasting one, go for the ones i suggested, just make sure its at the other end of the lilac spectrum but still classed as purple. I think that others who have suggested green is a bit too extreme!
It sounds like a very good choice to start with, I'm getting jealous and Im not even getting married!

All the best in your big day! xx

Answer 5

I'm using pale lavender as an accent color for my wedding. My bridesmaids are wearing celedon green, and carrying flowers of pale green hydrangeas, cream roses, with a tiny touch of muted lavender. Same for the centerpieces. It's an awesome color combo! Very elegant and classic.

Answer 6

Any of the following: Chocolate, Royal/Dark Purple, Light Yellow, Navy Blue, Gold

I would personally do: Lavender, Chocolate, and Gold
or: Lavender, Royal Purple, Navy Blue, and Yellow (Think of what an Iris [flower] looks like.)

To me, any kind of pink will look too foo-foo with lavender. So I would avoid that, and you obviously want to avoid white and shades of cream... accept for small accents.

Answer 7

My sister just got married in October and that's the color she used, lilac. She pretty much stuck with just that color and had white roses, it looked so beautiful...simple and elegant. For table arrangements she had the white flowers and threw in some purple lillys here and there and it was really nice.

Answer 8

a lot of colors work with lilac, depending on the feel you want:)

For a light, soft, springy feeling: pastels (green, yellow, peach, pink, baby blue, etc)

For a darker, romantic elegance (think candlelight dinner) go with darker tones like chocolate brown, dark green, burgundy, navy blue

For a bright, strong color combo go with orange or fushcia

Silver is also a grea color with lilac:)

Answer 9

i had lilac, dark purple (what i call cadburys purple, the colour of dairy milk wrappers) and gold.

it looked great and the colours really set each other off.

my little bridesmaids were in lilac and my older ones were in dark purple and the gold was in my dress and the table decorations.

also any neutral colour would work, silver or cream

Answer 10

I promise this is absolutly geougeous. Pale or hot pinks, maybe even like a bubblegum pink, with lime greens (light or hot would look great) and purples would make absolutly beautiful bouquets. Its what I would have done had I not picked the bridesmaid dresses I picked. You could do blue curiosa roses (they are light purple) with pink gerbera daisys and lime green buttons . or, you could do sweet unique roses with purple filler like status or limonium and lime green buttons-or another green colored flower like hygrangeas, I just really like buttons and they are very versatile. hope this gives you some ideas!

Answer 11

Navy blue is great with Lilac
