  you have three different colors of dendrobium orchids. The white and urle are natural colors,the blue is stem dyed to be blue. Always be careful when using any dyed flower as it can permanently stain your dress.

  I agree .. they are all dendrobium orchids... Do NOT use the blue ones against a lighter dress...If it gets hot they bleed and stain horribly... 

  Totally not worth the risk...

  From this post, assuming you're newly engaged and planning a wedding.  If so, congrats!!  What an exciting time for you and your fiancé! I just saw this post and thought perhaps I could help.  I agree with the above posts that you should avoid the dyed dendro orchids.  However, you can achieve the same look by using either blue hydrangeas or blue delphinium in combination with the white and purple dendro orchids.  It would look beautiful, and actually not that expensive. 
  
  In addition to being a past Chicago bride (now a Chicago mom to two little ones!), I’m also the owner/designer of flowers by stem – I design flowers for weddings and events in Chicago. Feel free to check out my website for examples of recent work – www.flowersbystem.com. I do all design work out of my home, so with no overhead, I can usually deliver amazing designs for less than the flower shops! I’d love to chat with you if you’re interested, so feel free to check out my work and shoot me an email if you’d like to discuss more. Thanks in advance!Stephanie
