Nice simple hand-tie of lily of the valley. Depending when the wedding is off course.

White paeony or hydrangea. Or something raspberry/shocking pink. Roses with spray roses maybe.

If she was older i would probably go with just vendela roses or a loose posy of vendela, bouvardia, freesia with maybe some blue diamante in the roses and duck egg blue ribbon on the stems (only some of the stems though). Mixed with pittasporum and maybe eucalyptus??

There's always delicate whites but I rekon definitely bright or dusky pink...the contrast works very well (could almost imagine 'Old Dutch' with it actually...but that could be my warped sense of colour! hahahah)...another popular colour to go with duck egg blues and turqoiuses is browny shades, but may be a bit dull for a wedding.
