HELP with capital letters, it must be serious. Okay,
I'll bite...
anything pastel, white, silver, chocolate brown, or copper. Or go to a store and get paint sample cards, and match that way.

I did baby blue and purple a darker color so the baby blue would stand out. I had my maid-of-honor wear a dark blue and the bridesmaids wear baby-blue. There flowers were two different color purple a light purple and a dark purple (the maid of honor also had blue in her's) mine also had white. See my 360 page for photos in my photo album on the left hand side. You can see how well the photos coordintate together. If you use a pastel color it all blends together and you can't see your main color which is why I choose a bold color with the blue! Congrats!!!

The easiest way I think is to go to a paint store and pick up a sample cards and play around w/ them. It will depend on taste as to what you decide. Generally pastel colors with blend well, however you can always go w/ a bolder color in the same color family (ie Navy Blue) to make the two stand out. This chart is online, it's a swatch matching chart but if your online you can at least get a general idea http://www.weddingbokay.com/Satin_Color_Guide.html

What is baby blue? Dresses, theme? The second question is why? But if you must- definitely stay away from pink. Believe it or not- candy apple red or an deep orange red work well with light blue-- the red pops against the blue. Very sophisticated- try mixing with lacquer black chairs,sterling silver accents, crystal. If you opt for the blue as table covers use as skirting or have crisp white topper.
Other option is to do lots of white bows , crisp white, sterling silver and crystal accents and think Tiffany box as inspiration

It is best when choosing wedding colors to go with a cool color (such as blue, green, etc) and a warm color to compliment it. Find a color wheel (you can these at paint or art stores) and look at the complimentary colors across form blue. Most brides will pick 2-3 colors. In this case, it is best to go with a favorite (in this case baby blue), a warm complimentary and a basic (like white, silver, grey, black). hope this helps!
ps. Personally i think that blue and brown go beautifully together, very stylish and up to date!! Good luck!

All the pastel colors for a 'rainbow' wedding. Shades of blue as long as they're in the same family. Alot of people use brown but I, personally, don't care for the two mixed.
Have her take (or find) a color swatch to a home improvement or fabric store .
Then she'll be able to see what colors she would like.

I have always thought that silver and white looks great with blue. As a matter of fact, the colors for my upcoming wedding are Caribbean Blue, Silver, and White.

A baby yellow or a dark blue will look nice. Also you can try a darker pink like a fuschia or a hot pink. Or Orange.

Stay either near the color or opposite for the best matches.

Why not do a contrast and pick like a navy or royal blue. Gray is also a nice color.
