Can you submerge blue orchids

I would say, get one and try it. Just use a glass of water and see if the color runs.

I have been trying to find somewhere that I can purchase only two sprays of the orchids, unfortunately the only blue orchids I have found only come in wholesale and I do not want to pay $160.00 to be sent 60 stems.

Talk to your local florist. Just call and ask them if they bleed, or ask to buy a spray.

I do agree, I think they would bleed.

Welcome to the WeddingWire Community @Cassandra!!

I look forward to hearing how this turns out

Do you have a picture of your inspiration?? It sounds interesting!

What about doing silk? the silk stayed in the water for me for over 24 hours. there was never any bleeding, but with real flowers I would think there would be if they were painted that way

I think Justine A has a good idea by using the silk flowers. They are very realistic to begin with, but then having them submerged you probably will not be able to tell they are fake.

The dye will run and bleed. I agree with Justine & Amber - the silk flowers submerged would look lovely, and honestly you can't tell if they are real or fake at that point.

Even some silk flowers bleed. You really just need to get one and try it out.

Those are just dollar store ones (yes i am that thirty) but I agree with Kayley C. test them out first!!!
