Default Color combo for turquoise?

So I picked one color for my wedding- turquoise. After searching and looking around, I think I need to have another color. I think the most popular color is brown but I am not a brown type a gal. No offense to anyone I think it looks great but I have never been a brown fan. Although, I have brown hair and eyes.
I thought I would ask the experts.....

I had turquoise as my color also. I only accented it with bright coral/orange flowers. I was happy with the way that turned out. I also like pictures I have seen of I think LaLa's wedding but I could be wrong that was turqouise and red. That looked great.

A really bright rasberry/fushia also looks good with turquoise. Or, depending on the shade of the turquoise, a nice bright caribbean blue can be good, too.

The colors above are a great suggestion. You could also just use ivory and/or silver.

we are using turquoise as an accent color with silver and coral. Any of the reds really pop against the blue/green of turquoise.

We used turquoise and red, and I love it! There are a lot of different bright colors that work well - orange, red, pink, fuschia, green, etc...

Here's a link with some pics about the same question for aqua... colors- aqua? coral?

We are using a light turquoise with a rich blue navy plus accents of red/orange from tropical flowers.

I am using chocolate, but just added orange. I love the way it makes the aqua pop!
