Just curious as to what color bouquets may look best, or at least what bouquets won't clash horribly. Thanks

Red would give the entire emsemble some nice contrast.

I think it would depend on the season of the wedding. If it's a winter/fall wedding, deep red roses would enhance a rich, sumptuous look. Or even a flower with a deep aubergine -- I can't think of a flower in particular, but eggplant is such a lovely, deep shade and I'm sure your florist could suggest floral choices that are in season. You could even add golden accents to the bouquet, like jewel picks or a golden satin ribbon wrapping the bottom of the bouquet. Deeper, saturated colors seem well suited for golden neutrals in cooler seasons and enhance the warm, gilded nature of your chosen palette. If it's a wedding in the spring or summer, fresh green tones like a kelly green or a muted celadon will make the ivory and gold seem creamy and fresh. Instead of typical flowers, you could have your florist suggest interesting non-blooming green-hued arrangements. It's a refreshign way to enliven a wedding on a fresh spring day or a bright summer afternoon.

That sounds beautiful! I think most flower colors would work well for you. Personally, I would go with something deep rather than pastel. I can picture:
-- A deep pink bouquet with gold accents.
-- Red flowers with cream accents
-- Deep purple flowers with gold and cream accents
I just found this picture online of pinky-champagne flowers... it's pretty. http://image59.webshots.com/559/0/9/94/2133009940054252781nFKLvr_fs.jpg

For my 50Th Golden Wedding Anniversary, I had white Daisey's and baby carnations with gold ribbon for my center piece and corsage.
The Daisey's had a slight ivory tinge and the carnations were pure white.
The gold ribbon set it off.
My cake was three tier with ivory frosting and with 1 inch wide gossamer ivory ribbon around the bottom of each tier. (of course the ribbon was removed when we cut the cake).
The top had two ivory roses.
I have never seen such a beautiful blend for flowers.
They were beautiful and didn't need a dominate color.
It won't clash but it will enhance.
Congratulations and I hope it will last for 50 happy years as mine has.
I was lucky, my daughter-in-law has been on the florist business for 22 years and my daughter makes and decorates wedding cakes.

hi, i'm a marriage planner in Atlanta GA. You defintely do no longer prefer to do the ivory flora, it is going to conflict which contain your white dress. i'd advise, yellow roses, or tulips, which are available in all colorations, and could accessory the gold and white. additionally, I in basic terms did a marriage the place we used yellow roses and died the precise(tips) brown. It became applicable, which would be a great accessory. you may desire to throw yet another shade in to stability out the gold and white.

Try Leonidas roses...they have a cream-gold base and terra-cotta tips. Deep reds, coppers and greens will be most complementary to the gold and will give some infusion of color.

I think personally you could go with any colour you liked.
If you had some green foliage in there as well, or it all tied together with a green plant would look lovely, or to have it tied together with gold ribbon.
http://www.churchillflowers.com/WFB46-11.jpg - you could try that sort of thing, green with purple except make short stems and wrap gold ribbon around the bottom?
I think that would look lovely.
Hope i have helped!
Good luck and best wishes.

i would go with a deep red, or some sort of strong color because everything else is in neutral colors, then your flowers will really pop with color agaisnt everything else. just dont do any sort of an orange or yellow, it will really clash with the gold

I'd go with something like this...

or http://www.weddingsbypeggy.com/images/Bouquet10gif.gif
- bringing the gold tones in, but offsetting it with a darker stronger colour as well
