As a wedding consultant, the only recommendation I give to my brides when selecting colors is...pick the colors YOU look best in. Forget about what your friends like or look good in. When you look at your wedding pictures after the wedding the ONLY persons who should stand out are YOU and your GROOM. Therefore, you need to "frame" the picture with colors that look good on both of you. If you look fabulous in pink vs maroon, then choose pink...or vice versa. Heck, for that matter you might decide that your best color is something completely different. Don't mistake that for your favorite color...you need to find the color that really makes you look your best. When you surround yourself with that color, you will look radiant in your wedding pictures. As for the flower girl, tradition states she should match the bride. Modern styles allow for her to match the bridesmaids or maid/matron of honor. So once you decide your color, then decide if you want the flower girl in that same color or if you want her to match you. Good luck and don't stress. Always keep in mind that this is just the beginning, so keep it light and fun.

Even for a Tampa wedding, a wine color might be more suitable for a December wedding. Pink is usually reserved for Spring or Summer weddings. I'd choose a simple ivory dress for the little flower girl and add a wine ribbon bow. You could use ivory flowers in the bridesmaids' bouquets, add burgundy/wine ribbon and greenery..ivy and other sprigs of fresh herbs, for instance. Ultimately, choose whatever you really like. It's your wedding, and I hate to hear that you are so stressed over something as relatively simple as a color scheme. Take a breath; weddings are wonderful occasions, but you have to pace yourself. There's more stress to come. It all pays off in the end, but it's a part of the process for most brides to be.

Sweetie, Relax!
Weddings aren't about what color the bridesmaids wear, or if the flowergirls clash with the ring bearer.
Just pick whatever color you think looks beautiful. Do you or your fiance have a favorite color? How about colors that have special significance? (school colors, colors of your parents wedding, birthstone colors?) Or you may just find a dress that you fall in love with that looks best in one certain color.
First, try to pick what colors you don't like, that your bridal attendents don't like or what they won't look good in (hint, no pink for redheads!)
Don't tie yourself down to colors until you have picked the style of dresses you want, or else you may get boxed into not having the bridesmaid dress of choice because it comes in the wrong colors.
Please, don't let such silly decisions ruin you wedding. This is a celebration of your love, the start of your life together. Down the road, you may not even remember what colors anyone wore (he definitely won't)! Just enjoy the moment.
Besides, you can always make your mother pick the colors and just smile and go with it!

First things first please go to get tour nails done and relax!! This is supposed to be a very happy time in your life. Also I would definitely suggest you go back to davids bridal with your dress and ask a sales associate to help since that is their job they will be more than willing. Also ask your mom or bridesmaid to help with these decisions.
Then i think the bridesmaids and matron should wear apple
and the flower girl should wear champagne with apple accents. apple is the closest maronish color i could find from davids bridal

http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_return_by_color.jsp?cfid=1 ..... the bridesmaid could just pick the dress that looks best on their body in this color

I got married in October and my dress was ivory. I had my bridesmaids in maroon dresses with accents of ivory. You can see some of our pictures here http://classicdigitalphotography.com/portfolio/thumbnails.php?album=44.
The flower girl wore an ivory dress with a satin sash around the waist that matched the color of the bridesmaid dresses.
I had the flowers for my bridesmaids be lighter in color so they would stand out against their dress and then my flowers were darker maroons and rich pinks. I like the way it all turned out :-)
Good luck. The planning can be stressful but it's totally worth it to finally be married!

First let me express my congratulation on your forthcoming nuptials. Second let me say; I don't know crap about wedding preparations and like all men I let my wife handle all the details, my big responsibility was to play golf with my future in-laws the morning of the wedding. Now let me just add, relax and try to take it all in stride. All the things that seam insurmountable now will be a source of humor in the future. Try going to a day spa for a message and pedicure, that always seams to help my wife and daughter(she's now 21). Also, try yoga and deep breathing. I guess the point him trying to make is that as important as your wedding day is it is only one day in your life. Before deciding any issues have a nice glass of wine or a beer, whichever is your choice. I hope you have a great wedding, a long and happy marriage, beautiful healthy children and that you have a long life so that you may enjoy your grand and great-grandchildren.
ps
don't pay attention to grumpy. As she admitted she is difficult to live with.

A deep pink or maroon (burgundy).........would be appropriate for Dec. wedding.You could have their flowers in the opposite colour e.g. pink dress/maroon flowers or visa versa.
I like the flower girl in the same color as the bride which could be trimmed with the pink or maroon even if you had to have it made or trimmed for her.
Don't stress so much sweetie as it reall will all work out for you.
Take a deep breath and relax and enjoy.
Good luck with your wedding and it will be beautiful.

darker color for the dresses
maroon burgundy & wine are very similar in color
pink flowers would be a pretty accent
