    That is exactly what I'm looking for too! Online I have also seen them called blue galaxy orchids. The only place I have seen them for sale is an australian website. Please let me know if you find somewhere to buy these in the US.

    Very popular flower, I am also using this in my wedding decor. fiftyflowers.com does have that flower, but the image doesn't look like the one posted above. wholeblossoms.com and weddingflowersofamerica.com both have this flower and the image on those websites look like the image above.

    Hope that helps, and good luck.

    All I can say to anyone looking for blue dyed dendrobium orchids for their wedding is to use real ones if possible, they are so worth it- and some florists can give you better prices on them than even the silk ones. Easily some of the best money spent on my wedding was on these blooms.

    Your florist can dye them. I get these all the time.....as they are my fav flower. Naturally, they do not come in this color.....ask your florist and they will help you. Good luck.

    I had thought about these flowers, but it was so difficult to find... I'm actually going with Blue Delphiniums which have the same look and similar color as these orchids... You can probably find them cheaper than this link... but this was the best pic...

    Just keep in mind that stem dyed flowers like these orchids are run the risk of the color dripping out the bottom of the stems. Its fine for a vase arrangement but you could ruin your dress if the stems brush against it. Silks would be the best option when dealing with flowers in colors they naturally do not grow in.

    Oh bom orchids. Wicked expensive both in silk and real. I wanted them to be "our flower" but it came back being over 1,200 dollars. Just google bom silk orchids and it should come up. I found a couple.

    Hello, all depending on what you are wanting to spend, you can go silk, and spend 12$ per stem, or you can buy real for a lot less (which is what i did!) And  they are stunning!!! I ordered a small bouquet, from http://www.avasflowers.net/product/blue-orchids-bouquet to test it out, and this is what i came up with, one with water and one without! they dont color the water, which i was afraid that silk might!! and i ordered some preserved ones from http://www.save-on-crafts.com/blueorchids1.html, to do my cake, and my bouquets! :) if you have anymore questions Just ask!! i hope my picture turned out for you!
