What colors and kinds of flowers would go best for my navy blue summer wedding?

I am getting married this July. The bridesmaids are wearing navy blue dresses and the groomsmen are wearing navy blue vests. The reception room has beige chairs, white tablecloths, and a patterned navy blue/mauve carpet. I would like to know why kinds of flowers and colors of flowers I could have for the bouquets, as well as what colors and types of flowers would work best in that room. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Stargazer lilies would look beautiful with navy
Reply:In July you can use summer flowers. Yellow is a blue complement, so I would think asters, lilys, mixed colorful flowers and sunflowers. One of the most beautiful centerpieces I ever saw was sunflowers with a few mixed blue and purples in a big clear glass vase which was filled with lemons. Stunning! It had some long spriggley things in it for added height.
Reply:You'll always be safe with white. I think you'd want to avoid red because it would look too American-flag like. Lavendar roses alone or mixed with other purples that leant toward the blue side would be beautiful. Violets are especially sweet in weddings.
Reply:White?

Reply:There are tons of silk flowers available the will compliment the navy blue. First find out what you like then start looking from there. You could always use white, or antiques colored flowers. There are many varieties of white, cream and antique colored roses both fresh and silk. Congrats!
Reply:Cream and mauve roses would look fantastic!
Reply:Orange and/or yellow flowers would really stand out against navy. And they work with a white or cream/ivory gown. I had orangey/yellow tulips for my bouquet and my girls wore navy and carried yellow tulips. Yellow roses would be nice, too... or tiger lilies. You could use yellow and white flowers on the tables, maybe the same type that you use for your bouquets.
