Can anyone suggest flowers that are naturally turquiose/aqua/tiffany blue colourn for a greece wedding 2009???

Question

im getting married in greece in july next year (2009) so i would love it if they were greek flowers but otherwise we are looking at roses. can they be dyed this colour and do they look nice?

Answer 3

Well there is one plant that I know of that grows turquoise colored flowers it is the TWEEDIA

Its more of a potted plant though.  So it might work better for centerpieces than they would for a bouquet.....However, my friends wedding is also done in turquoise and what she did is ordered white geber daisies.  She has arranged for turquoise food coloring to be added to the vase of water so that it is absorbed through the stem up to the petals.  She tried it out way ahead of time just to make sure that it would work before she decided on it.  She choice the daisies as the flower to use since it takes about 2 days for the flowers to really absorb most of the color and this particular flower stays alive much longer than the typical rose.  Also if you should try this be sure to keep the flowers in the fridge until the event so that they will stay fresh.

I might note that they don't turn completely turquoise just slightly so it would go nicely with a turquoise and white wedding.  You could also add some nice turquoise lace to tie the bouquets together.
