We recently worked with a bride who loved the look of hydrangeas! We're pretty big fans of them too, so we were more than glad to oblige. She wanted a huge ball of hydrangeas for her bouquet and I was so glad to see them arrive bigger than my whole hand! They made for a large yet lovely wedding bouquet:
The bride brought in her own ribbon and I loved it. Check out the one with small ivory dots! Elegant with just a touch of youthful enthusiasm. Perfect.
The only thing about hydrangeas is that they need water at all times and as a florist we compensate for that and make sure they stay perfect for your day. But it is something we tell our brides to be aware of, especially during these hot summer days.
Our bride decided to step away from traditional corsages for the mothers and went with matching handheld bouquets for the two instead. She suggested nestling them in babies breath since it's one of her favorite flowers. I was surprised by how much I liked it myself at the end!
Handheld bouquets for the mothers are a good choice for something different but sweet. This also avoids the problem of pinholes in a nice, new dress and gave the mother something to do with her hands!
And for the toss, two hydrangeas wrapped up in all three of her ribbons, with ivory pearls to complete the corset tying.
And for the reception they decided to go with bubble bowls filled to the brim with only hydrangeas.
Hydrangeas are a wonderful choice for a big, showy presentation! Always talk about any concerns you have with your florist. We'd love to be of assistance!
