Painting Cymbidium Orchids for a Wedding – Alternatives to Color Bleed

Why Painted Orchids Bleed in Water and Better Options

Design Master floral paint on cymbidiums leaches into water gels. The waxy petals resist adhesion, and submersion guarantees bleed. Instead:

• Source naturally pink/red-lip cymbidiums (e.g., 'Red Lip' varieties) from wholesalers like Mayesh.
• Use white cymbidiums with hot-pink water gel beads for color impact.
• Incorporate hot-pink wire or ribbon if flowers are wired off-stem.

Confirm color availability for late February/early March. Natural variation in throat spotting adds charm.
