For my wedding I'm doing a large blue rose bridal bouquet and white rose maid bouquets. The white bouquets are easy enough, but who knows where I can get dark blue roses (that look real, not like hobby lobby stuff) to make my own or where I can order one?

This is the color I'm aiming for:



I've looked into WedIdeas.com, but I'm really trying to keep my costs down. Suggestions?

       I'm not trying to sound mean, but I just don't think it's possible to find a real-looking blue rose. They don't occur in nature, so they have to be fake or dyed. Maybe you could do white roses with blue accent flowers? Delphinium, forget-me-nots, cornflower and hydrangeas all come in blue naturally.

    mrs jesse you are wrong ...they are dyed. as of this time there are no genentically altered roses that are blue or any shade that even comes close.Floragene has been working on it but so far have not succeeded. They are the comany that developed the vibrant purple carnation by using the genes from a petunia.

    Here's one of mine.  About 2 minutes after it was sprayed it was completely dry.
