The correct shade of pink

So I'm picking some flowers for the actual day and there is no qualms about it, definitely picking my favourite pink roses. After all, I think it is a perfect stand out colour with the turquoise theme.

My best buddy and wedding coordinator, Chris asked me about the particular shade that I want and then it got me. There are too many shades of pink that I love and I really can't decide on one, or two for that matter.

Recently, Ah Lau always likes to dawn my room with an occasional singular rose to make me wake up with a smile and the florist who is his true blue best friend who never fails to introduce the most expensive rose to him, a new breed called the Kenya rose which is not only big with plenty of petals, but is gorgeous as well. However, I don't think I will be making this breed my choice since it costs about 3 times the amount of a local breed.

Anyways, here goes my research on the different shades and types:

These are not pink roses, they are however, in the perfect hue of orange which I think I might consider to match the turquoise. Most importantly, it is in the right shape that I want- in the flute shape and not a round type or a busting type like so:

Shocking pink roses!

Ah Lau gave me my first bouquet of shocking pink roses on my first birthday with him. They do look beautiful but I don't think it suits the right garden theme that I am looking for.

I am looking at this particular shade which is very common and mostly what you see in florists. It would not stand out by itself and I guess I might need to accompany it with some babybreath or a paler shade.

Yap, this is one of the shade that is love at first sight. But I am not sure if it should be just by itself or accompanied by the shade above.

I came across this breed and can't help but think that it looks like roses dipped in pink dye. Not keen.

And these, dark pink wrapped in lighter shade of pink. Looks like dumplings; not keen too.

I can't seem to google find any decor with the sort of 2 shades that I like, the picture above is the closest I can find except it has lilac and white colour roses to the bouquet. But you get the idea =)
