No idea dude. Sorry.

Answer 3

I had blue flowers in my centerpieces in my wedding.  I don't remember the name though.  Sorry.  They were sort of a periwinkle blue which I liked.

Answer 4

Your purple flower is actually pink in most light.  Photography, both film and digital, tend to do some funny things to the pink/purple/blue floral pigments.

"True blue"  flowers are relatively rare; what botanists call "blue" is anything from bluish lavender all the way through true blue.  You're asking for the bluest end of that.

Try looking at the genus Gentiana-- there are a number of species with very blue flowers, including Gentiana verna and G. acaulis.  Or at Meconopsis, commonly called "blue poppy", though there are a number of species with red or yellow flowers in the genus.  Take a look at M. x sheldonii, M. betonicifolia, among others.  Those are my two favorite genera with really vivid blues.

Answer 5

Blue colored flowers symbolizing trust and unity.

Many types of blue flowers can add color to your wedding through traditional floral arrangements or by adding blue colored flowers to your reception decorations. Blue is the color of trust and unity making it a great choice for a wedding flower color.

Blue wedding flowers can add a level of sophistication and elegance to your ceremony and reception through the use of blue tones. While it is true that blue is one of the harder colors to match exactly, there are quite a few blue wedding flowers whose shades vary from pale baby blue to dark blue-green.
