Turqoise is my fave colour - I personally don't really think that Lime goes well with it (although I really like lime green). What about purple/lilac colours?

We have had a few turquoise weddings this year. I like either v white flowers like phalenopsis, or raspberry pinks with it.

White is defo a good plan, if she's really insistent then you could use turquoise aluminium wire or beads threaded onto grass.

Oooooh you could do a shower style bouquet with turquoise aluminium wire and phalaenopsis orchids. MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

We have tipped a cream rose with spray paint. spray paint into some water and dip rose into gives a lovely effect although I'm not a fan but if that's what they want I'll do it another had material loops made from bridesmaids colour recessed to give the colour

Yes it does work although I don't like it but if it is what she wants if I have to spray colour I prefer to spay colour into a bucket of water and dip flower into it try it both ways and give her both options

Hiya

I had the same colour last weekend and I dipped the akito roses in craft glue and then into glitter powder. I thought it worked well. Don't do too many as she will look like a big glitter ball in a disco.
