    I am with ejs4y8 - that color you picked is a great neutral and really can be paired with anything =)

    I agree with the other girls, you definitely picked a good neutral and can really do anything you want!

    I think pink, blue or purple (in my mind, muted or pastel shades -- nothing loud and bright) would look beautiful. I've also seen photos where yellow and white go well. If it were me, I'd go for blues and white. (But, I'm a sucker for blue and brown together.)

    Also, if you take your photo to your florist, I bet they could give you a TON of ideas!

    I don't have any ideas for accent colours either... I was debating on light greyish purple and white . . but I didn't want to go too girly.. lol. and definatly not pink.. (sorry DC Anna)    :)

    @ ejs4y8 - what do you mean other colours? lol. for what - Decorations? (that will depend on the flowers)

    I mean what are your wedding colors? Are your wedding colors just brown and light brown? Cuz if so, you could do anything your heart desires. Creamy flowers or white flowers would look fabulous and chic--are you ok with everyone carrying creamy flowers or did you want to reserve that color just for you? Whatever you go with will somehow end up being your "accent color" so keep that in mind. You coudl just do single calla lillies with matching brown ribbons

    What a gorgeous colour! And a gorgeous dress.

    I agree with others that lots of colours would go with that dress, but I would love to see it matched with a really strong fuschia.

    My first thought was all the lt. pink spring flower avaliable in May but since you don't want pink, orange gerba dasies could be fun.

    Thanks for all the ideas ladies!

    The girls will be wearing the light brown dresses and GM will wear the same colour vests. The Groom is wearing an espresso vest (dark).

    The amber brown cymbidium orchid is beatiful - orchids are expensive though but I love the colour.. you have me thinking bronze colours :)

    And I do like the idea of blue (FH eyes are blue!) but I am not sure how well it would match..

    My bridesmaids wore shades of brown and I had the florals be the only punch of color. The fall jewel tones were great in my opinion. You really can't go wrong pairing things with brown.

    My BMs are wearing brown - though it's a bit darker and we're using fall colors...bronzes, oranges, and reds. Since we're a fall wedding, it was pretty easy to pick.

    I think shades of light green/yellow green and ivory or white would be really pretty in the spring.  (all green for the girls with maybe a pop of bronze/orange/yellow here or there? and mostly ivory or white for you or a combo of ivory/green/yellow?

    I'm just throwing out ideas - and btw  I think blue would be just as lovely!

    Your dresses are pretty neutral, so I think you could make a lot of different things work.  When I first saw the dresses, I thought maybe a peach or pale pink might be pretty with the latte color.

    Pelikila, your flowers are so beautiful!

    I know this is sort of unusual but have you thought about sunflowers?  They look beautiful with brown, maybe with some white and yellow roses?
