I disagree with most people on here. I think you should go dark. Dark will make you stand out a lot more and as pink is a pastel, a think another pastel blends in.
Consider black dresses with a slit of pink. Something like this but with the white the same color as your dress.

Or chocolate, espresso, mocha, cocoa. Even like a truffle/latte. or blues like Midnight, jet, marine, dark teal.
Pink and brown go really well together. So do black and pink.
The only other color that I can imagine is perhaps plum/eggplant. Of course your colors will be pink and purple--which is outrageously girlie. And consider your groomsmen.
And flowers just a combination of the colors you pick. Mostly cream/white. Your bouquet could be dark pinks--bold either bright pink or fushia to really stand out against the dress and emphasize the pink.
If you go wtih a chocolate, the groomsmen could wear more of a maize or gold/champagne for their vests. There aren't many brown selections for vests. If you went with one of the darker blues, they could match or wear silver and it would look fine.
But I definitely agree with the post about find your dress first. Make sure you really like a pink gown b/c there are very few selections. Since it's a non-traditional dress, I'm sure its a non-traditional wedding. That tends to be less formal and more likely someone will be dressed similarly to you. But find your dress first and then take into consideration your bridesmaids. Their shapes should affect your choices. Make sure you pick a gown that flatters their shapes b/c if they look bad (even in a gorgeous gown) the pictures are going to look worse.
Good luck!

How about cream with pink accessories like a pink sash or ribbon round the waste on the bridesmaid dress in the same shade of pink as your wedding dress. Your flowers should be light pink and cream and white. Try to avoid greenery because it will clash with pink - pink and green should never be seen!

As a wedding photographer I have seen some interesting solutions to such a problem. The best rule is that your dress should stand out from them, try something simple and neutral like off white, creme or black. Another color may demand too much attention and remove it from you.
For flowers I would choose a brighter version of your pink or a color that is closer to your bridesmaids dresses. For their flowers you may choose a color close to your own dress for some harmony.
Bottom line, It's your day. Have the pink dress of your dreams and stand out!

Pink is such a hard color to work with. BUT, if you want your bridesmaids not to stand out too much next to you, you can have them wear a light grey gown, which will keep the color down. You don't want them to wear cream as you need to be the one to stand out. If you are a fan of pastel colors, perhaps you want them in a light purple or even a baby blue. I would definitely go with the light grey gown.
As for flowers, your flowers can be a mix of white and pink or even a mix of wildflowers, which would stand out against your dress. Your bridesmaids can carry bouquets of baby's breath or calla lillies in white.

That would be fab Pretty in Pink. Why don't your bridesmaids wear Ivory if your dress is light pink. If you dress is vibrant pink maybe navy or black really make you stand out. Have a wonderful wedding x

Have your girls wear a champagne color bridesmaids dresses. Since you want a pink wedding dress, your flowers could be white roses or some white flower. I would then have your girls have pink flowers.

Is going to be beautiful when the bridesmaids dresses in white small dresses with a pink lining on waste/stomack and a pink flower attached to that lining and then they should have pink scarfs,their shoes should be pink too. the flowers should be a mixture of white and pink too. then decorate your tent with pink cloths and flowers,that is gonna be beautiful believe me.

Get your dress first..... I wanted pink too... but I looked terrible in them and found a better style in the white... Pink is very limited like they only had 1-3 in each store. But if you were light pink, your bridesmaids could be cream, darker pink or orange or brown.... depending what season you are getting married in.

i would go with black for the bridesmaids and white flowers like lillies - i know this sounds a little goth but bear with me.
1) Your bridesmaids will thank you - black suits all shapes and sizes
2) You will stand out from them beautifully
3) Your flowers will look stunning and very different from every other wedding photo that you have seen
Let us know what you choose, am sure it will be beautiful no matter what you decide on. Good luck!
