Default making red work

I was planning on going with coral, clover, and a shade of yellow for my colors (flowers, decorations, etc.). My husband to be picked out a tux that has a red tie and pocket square. He says it really makes him look hot and can't bare the thought of dressing for his day without it. How can we make this work?

( Groom here)
It does look really good on me. However I don't see the problem at all. It's just my brother and me. Four little splashes of red in a sea of peach and green. I have seen floral arrangements that can coordinate all of these colors very well. Although this is the first time I learned of yellow.


HELP PLEASE

Well, the way I see it you've really got 2 options.

#1, add red accents to your decoration planning

#2, replace the coral with red altogether.

I'm going to go on a tiny picture hunt to see if I can find anything that has those colors but I'd think generally coral and red would clash?

You can totally make it work! Add the red to the flowers - the coral, clover, yellow and red would beautiful together. It really can be done very well. Just tell the florist that you want to incorporate all of the above in a very tasteful and simple way. It'll work.

I love having the groom's comments too so stick around!

Yep,turns out I'm so wrong! It's even SUGGESTED to mix coral and red roses and flowers on one site I just found

"Coral


Coral adds the perfect complement to an ivory wedding dress.


Coral and red creates a stunning bouquet, and so does coral and white.


Use coral as the accent color or the predominant color.


Create a vibrant display with mums in the fall, Asiatic and Oriental lilies in the summer, peonies in the late spring, and calla lilies in the winter. "

yeah i think it could work. if you don't want a lot of red in the flowers, maybe just a splash of tiny red flowers? (you can probably get red baby's breath)

yes, the color scheme will look just fine with some splashes of red in it.
