Choosing the flowers is a very important part of wedding planning, and many brides will spend much time deciding on what types and colors of flowers would look best at her wedding.Hydrangea is a popular choice on its own and as an accent flower, because it comes in a big array of colors. A hydrangea wedding bouquet is a simple and elegant look. The flower is incredibly versatile and can be the dominant feature in a floral arrangement, or subtly accent other flowers. Each bride will have their own ideas of how simple or luxurious their wedding should be, and the bouquet should be a reflection of those tastes. Hydrangea is special because it can be as ornate as the design calls for, or remain simple.
Why Choose Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are native to parts of southern and eastern Asia, as well as both North and South America.They are exceptional since they bloom through just about the whole spring, summer, and fall, making them available and inexpensive for weddings most of the year. Hydrangea wedding bouquets can be created in almost any color, because the pH of the soil influences the hue of the petals and a wide range of plants are grown. Deep blue hydrangea can be grown if the soil is very acidic, while pink and white varieties are produced when the soil is alkaline or neutral. Shades of red, purple, and green are also available to compliment other wedding colors.
Hydrangea Table Arrangements
If you are carrying a hydrangea wedding bouquet, consider coordinating the table arrangements with your flower design. Their blooms are striking, but have a relatively neutral smell so that it will not interfere with the flavor of any foods served. They also make an excellent compliment to orchids, lilies, or roses if you use one of them as the basis for the table arrangements. Remember to consider the height of your centerpieces carefully. If they are too tall, your guests may not be able to see the people across the table from them. Either purchase short arrangements or use narrow vases that the guests can easily see around. It is important that the flowers not impede the flow of conversation at the reception.Any color of hydrangea would look wonderful with a simple white table linen, so select a color complimentary to your wedding colors or theme.
Bridesmaid Hydrangea Wedding Bouquet
Hydrangea also makes an excellent flower for bouquets for your bridesmaids or flower girl. They can be made into a smaller or simpler bouquet than the hydrangea wedding bouquet the bride will be carrying. Choose a color that compliments the dresses that they will be wearing. A simple white hydrangea will look beautiful with almost any dress. Simple green leaves and a coordinated ribbon will finish the look.
While the rose and lily still may be the traditional wedding flowers of choice, hydrangea makes a beautiful and elegant choice. Its popularity is increasing because of its flexibility as well as the simplicity of the look.
