Is there an adverse effect of spraying flowers colors?

I am getting married and I would like to have blue roses mixed with my white calla lilies. By having the roses sprayed does it decrease the time that we have with the flowers so that they are still good? Is there another way to get royal blue roses?

Is there an adverse effect of spraying flowers colors?
I worked at a florist after high school. Numerous schools would order "painted" flowers for pageants and such. If one of the school colors was blue often they wanted blue tipped carnations or roses for the event. Most of the time we done the flowers a couple days in advance. I didn't notice them wilting any quicker than the non painted.



I would suggest that you just get the flowers tipped or dipped instead of the whole flower done though, just a spash of color. I think the whole flower blue would just be too much. I think white roses tipped in blue would look great!
Reply:They wilt faster, the colour runs - not a great idea.
Reply:yes, they will wilt a lot faster. i suggest getting anaturally blue flower to use instead of spraying them blue. the will be wilted byt he end of the day if you spray them .
Reply:Ask the florist about the dye and other flower alternatives. It could end up coming off onto your hands and dress- especially if it is hot. Good luck.
Reply:Get them a day or 2 before the wedding, and put blue food coloring in the water. Try this before hand, though. Get a few roses and put them in separate vases/glasses with varying amounts of dye.
Reply:flowers spray is stinky

and it does shorten the life span



there are some stem died blue roses out there but sometimes the color is inconsistant

ask your florist

the white rose is the vendala that they use



i am a florist

i do not like to paint or alter flowers



if nature doesn't make a blue rose i don't either

there are other natural blue flowers
