I'm not sure, Amber, but I think those roses in the photo are fake.

Personally, I think that yellow and white roses would look great with those dresses....give them a little contrast.

I agree - I think that with the aqua dresses, the yellow and white flowers would be very nice.

You could probably have them air brushed, but I can't even imagine how much that would cost, though I've seen it done in photographs.

Carnations can be died by putting white ones in colored water. You could probably do a pom-pom ball style bouquet of aqua carnations, but I still think the yellow and white roses would be pretty and give a nice contrast.

You dye real flowers by putting them in colored water, it's really easy to do.

However, everyone else is right...you generally don't want your girls to carry bouquets the same color as their dressess, you have to have some contrast.

You could also dye the tips of white flowers. I wouldn't suggest dying the tips black though because it will make them look like they're dead.

Dying roses is possible, but I would let someone who really knows what their doing dye them. I think the water dye solution is the best, this makes the flowers drink the dye and will look more natural than spray dyes. As far as the shade I would not match the dresses they will not show up well and will disappear in photos. I would also check with a florist for a test of the rose and color, once you order the flowers and you receive them on your wedding day before reviewing them will not be possible to change. I don't dye roses so I can not tell you absolutely will they look good, or not. You have to check for yourself. Keep in mind some roses do not dye well.
