Liza,
There are really not any rules for this. It is mainly up to the bride and her overall vision for the look of the wedding party. If she wants everyone in either a shade of gold or black, then that is what the two of you should wear. She may want the two of you in pastels or both of you in a champagne color. It will depend on the flowers too. If the flowers are all bright colors such as red, yellow, coral; then you can choose a color from that palette. Ask the bride what she thinks; that is always the best place to start.
Remember too, the bride`s mother buys her dress first.
