I think red would look very pretty with blue and orange, depending on how dark the blue is. If its royal blue or navy blue, then i'd say red would warm it up. But if we're talking about baby blue and orange then maybe a pink or yellow flower? Is that the color of your bridesmaid dresses? or the colors of the reception hall?

I think a nuteral color like white, silver, cream, black, or brown would look good with orange and blue, I think more than that would be too many colors, and would be distracting.
In terms of Brown and Orange, I think a rich color like a Dark Red, Dark Purple, or Dark Green would look good. I think the neutral colors I listed before would look good with the brown as well.

I think with blue and orange you could do orangy and dark golden flowers (certain roses, gerber daisies or even tiger lilies come to mind), or white, or a combination. I'm not certain about red--it would really depend on the shades of blue, orange, and red involved.
With chocolate and blue, and think all white would look very classy, yellow would be a lovely contrast color, but really, if you checked out the shades, you could do almost anything, from red/orange to blues to pinks. Maybe not purples.

I think if you kept the flowers neutral it could help to tone down any bright colors (if you want bright) IMO neutral flowers are very elegant

Agree. Blue and orange are such bright colors, I would tone it down with a neutral floral color.
