Can't wait for our wedding in Banff! I am truly marrying my best friend :).

    When I was looking for blue flowers, the florist suggested asters (which I found to be far more purple than blue), caryopteris, delphiniums, and lupines.

    I ended up going with roses (my favorite flower) tipped in a frosty teal, since nothing was quite the color I wanted. I was quite pleased with them, and they held up well (i.e. the floral paint they used to tip them didn't dry them out, etc.)

    There are not a lot of blue flowers in nature.  Hydrangeas or delphiniums are usually your best bet for wedding flowers. 

    I've never seen any teal colored flowers.  You can always have them dyed or use artificial ones, but if you want a natural look, then I would not recommend it.

    Using flower colors that blend, compliment, or contrast is your best bet.
