need help with colors!!!!

There are so many things that were so easy for me to decide in regards to the wedding..the dress, the place, the photographer, dj, limo, etc....but there is one thing, and it kills me because it's such an important thing, that i cannot decide on! I cannot for the life of me choose a color scheme for my spring time wedding. I definitely want to do like a magenta-ish hot pink, but I don't know what to pair with it. Initially, thought pink, yellow white....then I thought pink, tangerine, white, now I'm thinking pink, rich purple, and white...What do you girls think? any suggestions? Any pictures to share that will help me make up my mind...I want to think about bridesmaid dresses and flowers soon! Then I'm having an issue with what type of centerpieces to do, but that's a whole other post for the future...

OMG this is my problem EXACTLY!!!...... i know i want like a mixture of bright hot pinkish flowers for the bouquets... i have NO IDEA what to do for bridesmaids dresses ... i think im going with an all white centerpiece it just goes better with my room and its so elegant... so i know i have the colors pink-&-white but i def need another color to go with it... i don't want the bridesmaids wearing hot pink dresses with hot pink flowers it will be too much..... one dress i did like was a deep purple almost like an eggplant and it had beading on the straps that used different color pinks.... it would go, but i think its too early to order dresses and who knows if ill find a dress like that when its time to buy... ughhh so frustrating i def understand!

a big color combo with pink is green actually... like a bright lime green. My friend did it for her wedding and even though i am not a pink fan, i thought it looked great together

For a Spring wedding I like pink yellow and white. Tangerine is more of a summer color... I think of soft colors for the spring

I've found inspritation board sites helpful with this - Tessa, the invitation woman has a couple of links for you to view sites that have inspiration boards but I've included them below:

http://snippetandink.blogspot.com/
http://www.stylemepretty.com/
http://www.bridalcanvas.com/

My personal fav is bridalcanvas.com - I found a couple of boards that fit the colors I am looking to have.

Also if you don't know Tessa and her invites check her out here: http://***************.com/index.html

I've had 2 friends that have used her and could not be happier with their invites and I will probably end up using her too!!!

Hope this helps & good luck!!!!
