Hydrangea

Hydrangea Mania.  If you are in the South, they are in bloom EVERYWHERE and just beginning to lose their luster.  But you shouldn’t be too disappointed they “antique” themselves just by hanging on the bush.   All you need to do is take your pair of pruners, scissors or knife and go cut them.  You too can have the beautiful dried arrangement in the house for the rest of the season.

Hydrangeas come in lots of colors: blue, pink, purple, white, green and the beautiful antique colors in the fall. You can use them mounded together or by themselves because they are so large, usually. They need lots of water so if you are trying to put them in a boutonniere there is a little vile you can get to put water in, but I haven’t seen the best results after a long day of photos at the wedding. You can always have a couple extra made for the groom and keep changing them if that is exactly what you want though.

Send me any questions you have on hydrangea, there is a lot more to know but those are the bridal basics!

Here are some inspiration photos for all you hydrangea photos.
