If we go back to the dynamics of the color wheel as you're trying to think of the best colors to pair with Viva Magental for your wedding. You may notice that magenta (along with other red and purple tones) is complimented best by yellow and green tones.

Consider using shades of yellow, like mustard, or shades of green like emerald, when you're thinking about using Viva Magenta for your wedding. You can use these jewel tones for wedding reception table center pieces to your table spread with greenery or green linens, or even tie Viva Magenta accents to your floral arrangements, napkins or your wedding cake topper.
