Don't shoot me...wedding related question

I'm sorry to post about a wedding thing but my friend needs help. She's upstate and wants dark purple roses in her bo-k. Her florist seems to be missing the mark and keeps showing her red roses. Does anyone know the name of dark purple roses or have any suggestions? I tried LIW but I don't think anyone knows.

Thanks!

It could be black magic roses.. or maybe this one? (I tried to get this color for my bo-k at the time, but my florist tried and couldn't find them ... she had sent me this pic)

Thanks so much ladies. I'm going to send her all three suggestions. Can't roses be dyed if the color she wants isn't available?

If she is looking for a dark purple flower that isn't a rose --- which is easier to find..

We wound up using these for my bo-k. It was a combination of lisianthus and sweet pea

Black Magic can also be red - maybe that's the confusion? Sterling is a lilac colored.

Also I don't mind wedding related questions either.Chat Icon

Yes I believe they can be dyed, but I'm not sure I would go that route... I would be soo worried the dye would run and stain my dress Chat Icon

I copied Felica and used the lisanthus too- they looked beautiful with white orchids.

Oh by all mean, go right ahead - I adored my flowers (my florist rocked!) and it is definitely easier to find those flowers in purple than the purple roses I believe..

Good luck!!! (ahh I miss wedding planning sometimes Chat Icon )
