if by chance we did do dyed flowers is there a chance it can possibly rub off at all on the dresses?
that is what i'm afraid of having big blue spots or streaks on the dresses

hmm i highly doubt it, or who would use them for a wedding? its not like theyll be rubbing up against something soaking wet...id think that would be the only way. def take your concerns to the florist as well. they'll know best

I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for blue flowers (not light blue or teal, not purple/lavender) My dresses are royal blue. I was hoping to have an all-blue bouquet with either a tall stem and just 1 type of flower, or a cascading/teardrop bouquet. I have a beachy theme so the more tropical and exotic looking the better (not looking for dyed roses or carnations or anything like that)

Any suggestions?

I'm in the same predicament! My dresses are Blue Velvet from Davids' (cobalt blue) and I'm not sure what types of bouquets would look right against that deep color.

I think I finally made a decision on my own bouquet, white roses with some blue delphinium, but I don't know what to do for my sisters and bridesmaid. I don't want light blue or teal either. Hmmm... any suggestions?

Here's a pic of the bouquet I'd like for myself, with darker blue delphiniums though:

if you google 'Blue orchids' these come up but I found one site that said they are orchid dendrobiums and that the orchid stems were likely soaked in bluish-purple water after they were cut.
