Hi all!

     I am currently working on a anniversary cake for my parents,  and can't quite get the colors down.   It will be mostly white with a white royal icing gazebo (of sorts).  I am hoping to have pastel orange and some green shades, but I want some other colored flowers to go with the pastel orange.  Any ideas?

      Thanks!

My suggestion would be a very pale pink w/the edges &/or center a slightly darker shade. 

Pale blue would be a complementary color to the pale orange and I love how they look together...like that retro look we see everywhere.  I also love a lilac shade with orange as well. It makes a nice contrast.

I also thought about what aldonza suggests - but I like pinks :)   You could probably work all of those together. 

I love using this website for colour combination inspiration www.design-seeds.com 

I am making roses for a 50th anniversary in December and the lady loves yellow roses.  I've made several yellow roses and thought they were getting really boring, so I included a few in a nice peachy tone and it really made it pop.  I also intend to use small deep maroon accents.  Since you are already in the orange range, maybe add a few pale yellow and I, too, like the idea of pink.

Hi!

     So sorry... I actually had the cake made before I saw these last three comments, oops!  Thank you so much for all your suggestions!  I ended up doing Orange, (which was a little too dark),  Navy (?) blue, Teal, and a dark green for the leaves.  I failed on the roof of the gazebo...  I had two panels (of the roof) dry and ready, but the last two would just not dry!  I ended up putting an (embarrassing) Wax paper cone for the roof :(.  But hey!  I had the best mud cake recipe on the planet!  So it ended up all right ;).

     I'll get a picture to you guys soon!  God Bless!

Here's the link - The "navy blue" flowers are darker than I would've liked them to be.
