    I used red for my wedding accent color as it was close to Christmas.

    We were all about the bright bright bright—lime green, hot pink, and a deeper shade of plum.

  3. Love peonies — one of my favorite flowers. We didn’t have an accent color at our wedding. But we actually had a “floral” theme. So the bridesmaids and the flower girl all had different versions of a spring “floral” dress.

  5. We basically did black and white, but the pops of color were in the flowers and my bridesmaids each had their own brightly colored shoe (5 different colors) which matched the groomsmen’s ties. I have to say, all of these posts about weddings makes me want to go back to that day and do it all over again! I wouldn’t change a thing!

    champagne and silver would be our accent colors, I guess – we were married on New Year’s Eve so we wanted to keep it wintery and elegant.

    That’s a beautiful pillow! Our wedding was in October, but I didn’t want to do the traditional fall colors of red, orange, etc. My dress color was called “rum pink”, and it was beautiful…it looked white to the casual observer, but had a beautiful champagne pink undertone to it. The bridesmaids dresses were black, and our bouquets and centerpieces were a mix of yellows, pinks, plums, and blues.

    I originally picked green and wanted to do those dresses where the bridesmaid picks the skirt and top that works best for her figure. My girls went shopping together and found this magenta-ish fabric with a hint of orange in the shimmer that they loved. I am easy! It worked for me.
