I know that at craft stores like Michael%26#039;s and Pat Catan%26#039;s, they have a coloring that can be sprayed onto the flowers. It is relatively cheap. Good luck.
Reply:Yes, just dip the tips in a water based paint and it will absorb into the flowers. Or, you could just paint the tips.
Reply:Well I actually used watercolor paints to color my silk flowers and I though it blended in quite naturally, where as real paints might look alittle fake.
Reply:you could also colored glue, like that glitter glue stuff. that could work as well.
Reply:yeah you can, food colouring is great for doing this! If they are real flowers, u can put them in a food colouring(your choice of colour) and water solution and the solution will run up the stem and colour the whole flower. If they are artificial flowers then you can just put some neat food colouring on a plate and dip the tips into them until they soak up the amount of colour you desire. Make sure you do it well in advance though so it doesnt stain your dress!!! Best of luck n hope u have a great day!!1nanny
