pastel flowers
I am wanting to do my wedding in pastels. I am thinking pastel blue bridesmaid dresses so what colors would be good for the flowers & other decorations.

I'm a sucker for hydrangeas and they come in pastel colors.
What about bulb plants... tullips, freesia (but those colors might be too bright) They could also be fun though because you could do an inexpensive, place card/favor with them.

I'd go for Hydrangeas with maybe some while tulips, roses, or daisies in there somewhere.. Keep the color palette light and airy!

What kind of wedding are you having? I can see a wildflower bouquet working with light blue dresses, but I like Suzy's suggestion about the daisies. I would avoid pink though - it may come off as looking more like a baby shower.

Okay - I just read your other post about pastels. Now that I know it's Easter, I'm picturing deep purple tulips - tulips are popular around Easter and plum would contrast nicely.

I got some tulips the other day which were almost all cream, but just had a tiny touch of pale pink on the edges of the petals, they were beautiful

Roses come in practically every shade so they could work very well...
These might give you somewhere to start (even if it's just to say what you don't like  )
The first one is the bouquet I've chosen for myself.
I'd recommend having a look at these pages:

They've got millions of photos to flick through

I think daisies would be nice in different pastel colors. I agree to stay away from pink since u want blue it will look like a baby shower.
