I’ve never thought of myself as a “blue” kinda gal, but I’ve always loved aquas. And of course, the notion of complementary colors - blue/orange being more favorable in real life organic settings than red/green and yellow/purple. Here’s a gorgeously inspirational cake from Pailloncakes back east. The flow to the lines is a lot better than a 1 inch strip of grosgrain ribbon encircling the layers so mechanically. I love its simplicity.
Here’s a really neat color picker at brides.com:
I’m drawn to these mod combos, perhaps because they’re mod shapes to begin with. However my victorian mansion doesn’t really go with boldly contrasting colors….
What a beautiful color combo and that cake…. stunning.
What colors does your victorian mansion have? Im sure we can all figure out something…
and at the same time… you dont necessarily have to match your colors with your venue… if only you saw the colors of my venue carpet… ouch! 
I LOOOOOVE any shade of blue plus annny shade of orange as a color scheme. Love love love. Jealous jealous jealous.
Blue and orange has always been my absolute favorite color combination — I think it would look simply fabulous for a wedding.
Seeing all the bright, cheerful color combinations sometimes makes me regret that our wedding is just plain black and white… but for a black-tie, formal, center city wedding, in an art deco hotel, it just seemed like the best option.
The 2nd one is one of my color combinations I’m considering as well. That’s a gorgeous cake! Love the flower on top!
yay! my wedding colors! although sometimes I call them tiffany blue and coral…
That cake is stunning! And I love how refreshing aqua and orange are together.
This is an AMAZING color combo I would have never have thought of! Great choice! And BEAUTIFUL cake too!
Yeah, I’ve always loved this combo. In bolder forms, it’s cool and sporty and preppy. In pastels, it’s just lovely. Either way, it totally pops.
I really love that cake. I’m usually not into these mod-looking, simple things but it speaks to me! The flower makes a huge difference. Beautiful!
Miss Milkshake, I really need some help!
Me and my bf got engaged recently, and I am having a heck of a time contacting Vancouver venues. No one will respond to me! Even taking into consideration all of the recent holidays and so on….. nothing. I seriously don’t understand, I’m polite, straight to the point… and nada. We work graves so I can’t make inquiries by phone, and things are not off to a good start! Would you be willing to email me? I’d really like to get some information from you regarding Vancouver Venues if you don’t mind!
hi cynthia!
sure thing, let me know generally what you’re looking for and price range, and send me a buzz at your _ paper _ bag _ princess AT hotmail dot com
Hey, did you see the new aqua-&-orange invites that Something Old, Something New featured on her blog today? They’re fantastic! The colors look great together, and I realized you’re definitely onto something with that combination!

I love that colors combo, in addition to red and teal. 
I don’t think you could go wrong, really!

Mrs. Milkshake, Seattle/Vancouver, BC Age and Occupation: 23, Pharmacist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Pharmacist Engagement Date: May 2007 Wedding Date: August 2008 Blogging Since: December 6, 2007 Venue: Victorian Mansion About Me: Despite the fact that I’ve invested many long years of my life studying the sciences in college, I’m glad to be out of there and I would never do it again! I’m super artsy at heart - I run an indie craft site, I grew up shooting and developing my own film, doing jazz and ballet, and the whole gamut of art classes. I’ve been called a Jane of all Trades… but I was also told many years ago not to make my passion my career because it’d suck the fun out of it. Hence my choice of day job. We live in Seattle but are having our wedding in Canada to be fair to all our family and friends.
