Pink phalenopsis

What do you guys use/think will go with pink phalenopsis orchids in a cascading style bridal bouquet? They are such a funny shade of pink I haven't found a pink rose that goes with them. Baccara would be nice, but is a bit too dark. Is there a hydrangea that goes with them? What about gloriosa? Ideally looking for pretty pink things.
Thanks for you help

No, is just a question about random pink phalenopsis in general, I normally just order by colour off my other dutchman he is so much cheaper than Metz. I like the cerise one with the dark throat best though.

I think all the pink phalenopsis and dendros are hard shades to put other pinks with, they are a really blue pink, but even roses like Aqua which I think of as a bluey pink still don't go. It's almost an unnatural colour.

What about using a green rose instead? I reckon that would look cool.

what about old dutch or blue curiosa? If they are that sort of dusky pink it would have a vintagey look. Can't think what would go with cerise orchids though.

I just tried to scan some pics but they look rubbish. Theres some lovely ones in the Wedding Bouquets book (from wedding flowers magazine) Theres a stunning one of pink phal with midori anthuriums and one with dark pink cymbids with a cerise anthurium. Oh and another with pink blush callas. Yum.
