my parents are renewing their vows for their 50th anniversary by december, and are planning on re-wearing the outfits (already gold in color, but not metallic; more like deep yellow) they wore for my brother's wedding two years ago. my concern is what the rest of the immediate family should wear color wise. we're not doing the full-on church wedding. we're planning on an intimate vow renewal at the place of reception, with no entourage or whatsoever to focus the costs on the catering and venue.
what colors would best complement gold/deep yellow? im veering toward navy/deep blue (non metallic as much as possible). i'm also thinking of something that would make it easy for the rest of the family to find outfits in the color we would agree on. we thought of letting my parents be the focus for the gold, while the rest of the family wear something that would enhance that gold color.
traditionally, red does complement gold best, but i just find it might overwhelm the gold as it is a very powerful color, especially when worn in multiple numbers. i find red better to be an accent color than something to be worn en masse. i do agree with dark green
it's really more of a tradition of a lot of families in the philippines to have immediate members of the family wear a certain color of the couple's chosen motif. my parents don't really care for much, but my mom does agree that she wants her and my dad to be the one to wear the anniversary color and that the immediate family members wear something to enhance their color motif. i just want family members to look more streamlined in family photos, and not wear random loud colors that compete/clash with my parents' color motif
The deep or navy blue sounds like it would have a very elegant look. As you've said too, it would be fairly easy for everyone to find clothes. Red is a tricky color and not everyone can wear it well. Plus different shades of red all in one place really clash to me. Different shades of blue together don't seem as glaring.

thank you!!!
i would very much prefer black, but it's too somber for such a joyous occasion. hence my preference for dark blue--not as somber as black, but just as elegant. truthfully, i wear red better, but i just can't imagine seeing a lot of red around my parents' lone gold. and i would think most men would prefer to wear blue over red for such occasions.
What were their original wedding colors? Maybe the others don't have to coordinate so much if they are recalling the colors of the day.
