Summer Wedding Colors?

I'm looking for some suggestions for colors for a mid-August Summer wedding.

Event will be traditional, rather formal wedding. Ceremony in a church.

Bride's bouquet to be primarily her favorite flower - yellow roses

She's undecided between ultra formal evening wedding with black bridesmaid dresses

or late afternoon - but can't come up with a color scheme.

She hasn't decided on her dress - she is leaning toward a sheath or slim a-line with lots of lace.

Suggestions?

Update 2:

Here's her idea for bouquet: http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/fa/b/AAAAAk8G...

Just did a Google Images search and found great help for black & yellow. I think that's the way to go!

Thanks for the ideas

    Don't do yellow and black. There are plenty of beautiful, bold, gem-like colors that yellow will accent beautifully, and will look fantastic late afternoon or in the evening.

    Tell her to look at colors like a dark raspberry, dark turquoise, etc. Make sure the yellow roses are more of a buttery yellow than a pastel, it'll makes matching colors much easier for her.

    Here are some image suggestions:

    Raspberry & Yellow :

    Jewel Blue & Yellow :

    Couldn't find any good jewel-tone green images I liked.

    If she's set on black dresses, I'd go with a yellow, sunset red, black scheme. See this cake:

    If the flowers are going to be yellow roses, shouldn't one of the wedding colors be yellow?

    A relative of my husband's did yellow & blue for an August wedding this year -- they looked really good together. It wasn't a dark blue, but more of a medium-blue color. It looked really good together.

    Go to David's Bridal and check out the color "Serene" -- its a lovely blue that would look nice with yellow flowers!

    Black bridesmaid dresses? For an August wedding???? NOOOOO! How about a very pale yellow, coral (peach) or even a cornflower blue? :)
