What Goes With Aqua Blue?
My bridesmaid dresses are aqua blue. What colors match? I am running into a dead end....I have no ideas of what flowers or just an accent color that would match?

Silver is an excellent suggestion -- it would look very nice with aqua blue. Also, a pale yellow would work well or a shade of pink. You could do some really gorgeous things with the flowers with all these colors.

Any soft pastel colors will work with aqua for the flowers. Silver is also a nice accent color. Cream too.

All good ideas. But if you want a true accent color, remember the "color wheel" in art: color "complements" are color opposites. These colors contrast each other in the most extreme way possible. They also help to make each other more active.
Aqua is a combination of light blue & green. Green`s opposite is red, & blue`s is orange. So the most striking combination with aqua would be an orange-red, such as salmon (darker & more stimulating), or peach (lighter & more nuanced).
Good luck in choosing!
