Hydrangeas are sort of a marmite wedding flower - you love them or hate them. If you love them, then you're in luck today (if you hate them, then probably time to look away!) We adore the Hydrangea, it's big blowsy attention grabbing quality and it's great versatility as a wedding flower. They're widely available from Mid-Summer to late-Autumn, and as you can find them in most country gardens they can be pretty budget friendly if you're DIY-ing your wedding flowers. Hydrangeas also come in a wonderful palette of colours from bright pink, purple and blue to more muted pastel shades and even crisp white. So if they're high on your list of must-haves here's 8 great Hydrangea Wedding Ideas - ways to incorporate them into every kind of wedding...
Hydrangea Inspired Invitations
The perfect invite sets the tone for your big day right from the moment your guests open the envelope. Illustrated Hydrangea's are a classically elegant design, the perfect sneak peek for the big day.
Hydrangea Bouquets
Whether you choose hydrangea as a great single flower bouquet or incorporate it into your bouquet among other pretty florals the result is visually beautiful. Resembling pom poms, you will only need 2 or three of these pretties for a full bouquet so they are a great budget friendly option. These can work great as a fun pop of colour, or for a more subdued look pick a pale pastel variety.
Hydrangea Ceremony Decor
Say I Do surrounded by beautiful hydrangeas in the form of ceremony and church door arches and pedestal arrangements filled to the brim with blooms. Hydrangeaa flower from Mid Summer to late Autumn so it's the perfect flower for bringing that touch of summer to the wedding.
Hydrangea Chair Decor
Pretty little pew ends and hydrangea chair decor is a great way to add a little wow factor to the ceremony or even to the Bride and Groom's chairs at the reception. Tied in pretty bunches or hung with ribbon or twine in mason jars can create such an impact even on the strictest budget.
Hydrangea Garlands and Swags
Due to it's big robust blooms, Hydrangea is a great sturdy floral perfect for swags, garlands and fresh flower table runners for long tables. So beautiful and visually impactful, a great dramatic focal point.
Attention Grabbing Hydrangea Centrepieces
Hydrangeas look incredibly elegant when used in bulk. Arrange them on pedestals and in large vessels for extra height and drama, perfect for an ultra glam affair.
