    Yeah and tulips are a funny shape for bouquets and things. If you have a particular flower you really love I think you can dye flowers

    Lavender, irises, orchids (vander), lisianthus, freesias, gladioli, tulips, stocks - flowers that are in season will be cheaper and easier to get hold of so depends when you're getting married x

    I'm pretty sure if you ask your florist they will get purple roses for you!
    I asked mine about some coral coloured flowers and they ordered me in some "Miss Piggy" roses
    (If you google them they are orangey in the middle and pink on the outside) :)

    I'm getting married on armistice day so I'm having purple and red poppies in my bouquet but because they're not in season I'm having silk ones. The rest of my flowers are real. Gerbera's, roses and some others that I can't remember.

    I just saw this when looking at roses... and yes purple roses are possiable!!

    "Purple Rose Color Symbolism
    Purple roses are a symbol of enchantment.
    Softly colored, purple roses respresent love at first sight.
    Purple roses are a great choice to send for Valentine's Day."

    There are so many people out there who will tell you
    what you can't do.
    What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

    We're having Iris's and Lisianthum's along with some yellow tea Roses and Sunflowers, to fit with our purple and yellow theme :-)

    Purple Rose's sound lovely though, and the meaning is beautiful too :-) x

    I am having a purple/lilac bouquet. I spoke with my florist and she is using something called Limonium and purple/lilac coloured Fresias for fragrance.

    I had lisianthus in mine too. The ones in the pic above are purple rim lisianthus. My bridesmaids had bouquets similar to the pic, and I had full purple lisianthus. We had purple hydrangeas in the table centres.

    there are loads of nice new blue roses, that actually look purple. ocean spray or ocean mist or something are the ones we are using. Cant remember the name. Your florist will know though.
