Which Wedding Flowers Match With What?

Your wedding color theme is a major factor in the overall look of your wedding. Your color scheme, if well selected, will bring unity and beauty to the flowers and decorations at your ceremony and reception. As you plan your event, consider the colors that will be found in your flowers, linens and accessories. Many people select their wedding or special event colors based on their favourite shade or favourite flower. However, if your favourite color does not match with your hall, you might want to reconsider. If the all the chairs at the hall are burgundy for example, please do not choose fire engine red! Your chosen colors should also reflect your personality, especially in the case of wedding flowers.

Here are some general guidelines as to which flowers come in which colors and what the color scheme matches well with.

I have a brown pair of yoga pants with a blue and white flower on the bottom of one of the leg?

Do I have to pick up the colors of the flower in order to be coordinated, or can I ignore it?
What about a shade of blue that doesn't match the shade of blue in the flower, or a beige or light pink top?

It can be ignored, unless the flower takes the entire pant leg.
