Color scheme - are there turquoise flowers?

yes2011, 5 February, 2011 at 22:37 Posted on Planning 0 5

Hi all,

have you ever seen wedding flowers that are turquoise? Would that work as a color scheme? Tulips are my favourite flowers in general.

I'm also a bit concerned because part of the venue (sit-down meal) is dark green and I'm not sure if that goes with a dark turquoise...

And does anyone know a website for color matching or the like?

Many thanks!

Anja

    I was asking a florist today about whether there are Tiffany blue flowers, as I'm toying with that as a colour scheme - she said no, unless you want to include artificial flowers, but she suggested you could put some beads or pearls through the bouquets to bring in the colour, or just use ribbon the right colour

    Hi

    My florsit will be one of my bridesmaids Mum and she has said not to worry if I can't find the exact colour as some flowers can be dyed! She said some florists dunk the flower heads in the dye but that the colour ends up everywhere by the end of the day and what she'll do is pop the flowers in water colored with the right colour dye and do it that way. It's something I think I need to look into more before I go with!

    Hope that helps. x

    My scheme is turquoise which was initially inspired by these orchids...


    They are really common in American weddings but are grown in Thailand. Couldn't find any suppliers over here and also thought the dye would run.

    So I am keeping with the orchid theme and having cream and green ones with turquoise ribbon on the handles.

    Thank you for these ideas, especially with the ribbon and the coloring. I am not sure how much I'd like artifical flowers. I found three pics on the internet that are also nice solutions. They show a ribbon and some voil, too. I think the pics are more beachy blue but I could do the same with turquoise.

    If anyone has more pics or ideas - I'd love to hear it Smiley smile

    Thanks

    How about having mostly fresh flowers and then just adding a few artificial ones in your colour?
