Characteristics of Hydrangea Wedding Flowers
With full blooms, lush volume and various color options, hydrangea wedding flowers have so much to offer for your bouquets. Their beautiful cluster of full petals will complement and contrast with various other flowers — for a classy and chic arrangement that expresses your style.
Here are some characteristics to consider before buying hydrangeas for your DIY bouquets:
- Hydrangeas can come in pink, purple, blue, white, green and red — and sometimes they have hints of more than one color in their petals.
- The flowers on hydrangeas are actually tiny blossoms — but they grow in close clusters to give the appearance of big, ruffled flowers.
- Each hydrangea stem contains a puff-like cluster of blooms, and arrangements are built by cluster.
- The size of hydrangea clusters can range from 4 inches to 8 inches in diameter.
- Hydrangeas have a short vase life, so they should be hydrated as soon as you receive them and placed in cool temperatures.
Choosing Hydrangea Flowers for Your Wedding
Do you love the fresh, unique look of hydrangeas? They add a perfect touch of beauty, life and light elegance to your wedding aesthetic. Whether your theme is pastel and spring-inspired or subdued and sophisticated, these beauties will add something special to your arrangements.
Hydrangeas are typically used as "fillers" or "volume flowers" — blooms that fill the gaps in bouquets, add volume and provide visual interest for the arrangements. Your filler flowers should take up about 35% of the design. Pair your hydrangeas with other beautiful blooms for use in:
- Bridal bouquets: Bring your personal bouquet to life with the addition of blooming hydrangeas. We recommend using five to eight stems to flesh out your bridal bouquet and complement your other blooms. Add blooms such as roses and lisianthus to add more texture.
- Bridesmaid bouquets: Hydrangeas are also a lovely pick for bridesmaid bouquets. Add two to three stems of the flower to each arrangement. Greenery such as Seeded Eucalyptus is a lovely addition to fresh flower bridesmaid bouquets.
- Centerpieces: Add texture and floral accents to each table by using hydrangea wedding flowers in your centerpieces. Three to six stems is just the right amount to draw your guests' attention without overwhelming the table. Hydrangea are very soft and fluffy, so adding texture elements like berries and blue thistle can really change the look of your centerpieces!
- Large arrangements: Because they come in large clusters of little flowers, hydrangeas aren't a suitable choice for small details like boutonnieres, but they make the perfect addition to large arrangements. For especially big assortments, use 10 to 20 stems. Carnations and spray roses are lovely additions to large ceremony arrangements as well.
Now that you know how to choose your blooms, let's get into the nitty-gritty of putting together your DIY wedding flowers.
Whether you're a floral aficionado or a complete novice, we believe that anyone can put together stunning hydrangea bouquets with the right tools and guidance. Follow our step-by-step tutorials for flower preparation and design techniques. We have you covered!
Meaning of Hydrangea DIY Wedding Flowers
In the Victorian era, hydrangeas symbolized gratitude and understanding. They also share a symbolism with heartfelt emotions, devotion and grace. Whether you are drawn to their delicate look, iconic shape or classic colors, hydrangeas are sure to make your wedding day even more special.
Hydrangeas come in many different colors, and the color of hydrangeas also holds meaning:
Pink hydrangeas represent genuine emotions and heartfelt feelings.
Purple hydrangeas signify gratitude and appreciation.
Green hydrangeas represent understanding and compassion.
White hydrangeas represent purity, innocence and grace.
Blue hydrangeas represent sincerity, faithfulness and devotion. Blue hydrangeas can also be used to reflect the classic "something blue" tradition in weddings.
Red hydrangeas represent passionate love and desire.
Mixing hydrangea colors can create a bouquet that symbolizes multiple emotions.
For example, a bride carrying all white hydrangeas in her bouquet may represent purity and grace, while a groom wearing a green and blue boutonniere could symbolize understanding and appreciation.
An all-green hydrangea bouquet may be perfect for a nature-themed or outdoor wedding, while an all-blue arrangement could be lovely for a sophisticated soiree.
Use the hydrangea color meaning to guide your choices when picking out your wedding flowers. You can also use hydrangeas to add special symbolic details to your wedding day décor. For example, put a vase of white hydrangeas on each table as part of your centerpieces to represent purity and innocence, or use blue hydrangeas in your bouquet arrangements to show off your sincerity and devotion.
Whether you choose one color or mix a few together, adding hydrangeas to your wedding flowers is a beautiful way to express your emotions on your big day.
