Flower illiterate

Hello all!  I haven't posted on this board yet, but I'm so flower illiterate that I need help for ideas and opinions.  Our colors are teal, purple, and orange - brighter jewel-type tones.  It will be a spring time wedding and my favority flower is the tulip.  I know I can get tulips in white, orange and purple - but what if I wanted teal flowers? How would you suggest combining these different colors?  My BM might wear both teal and purple (2 in each color).  What do you think? Everyone with white/orange bouquets? I know I really can't get teal flowers unless I dye them - I'm just looking for a fun combination.  I like daisies too, and they remind me of spring and I'd be open to those but I just don't know what would look good together!  Thanks!

Also, what are these?

    Thank you! I knew they weren't natural, but I love them anyways!

    There is a turquoise rose.  You can also paint several flowers, including carnations, mums, callas.  http://www.floralsupply.com/sub_paint.htm

    The blue orchid you posted is actually called Dendrobium Blu Bom and they are not dyed. I got them for my Bouts. They are actually shades of purple and white but this turns into a blue on the actual flower. Some flowers are naturally more blue and some are more purple. They are pricey but gorgeous.
