flower of the month: hydrangea

What you need to know about using

Hydrangea’s for your event!

Hydrangea: Perseverance; Boastfulness; Vanity; Thank you for your understanding

I love hydrangeas!  They are such a full flower….almost a bouquet in and of themselves.  The colors are stunning and the options are endless, which is why they are such a popular flower.  If you are considering hydrangeas for your event decorating needs, here is the scoop!

The season for hydrangeas is early Spring to late Fall.   Really perfect timing for the busy wedding season and outdoor parties.  The most common hydrangea color is white, but do not fear, they also come in blue, red, pink, light purple, dark purple and even antique looking jewel tones.  Used in centerpieces with water, hydrangea’s can last 4-7 days.  However, if you are using cut hydrangeas for your bouquet, you should note they wilt faster than other flowers, often requiring a back-up bouquet (just in case).  Enjoy some lovely pictures below of hydrangeas being used in many different ways.  Happy Planning!
