Hydrangea Flower, Wedding Decor Ideas

The hydrangea is a powerhouse flower. They can be either deciduous or evergreen. There are approximately 23 species of Hydrangea, which of them only five are widely cultivated in the U.S.

The most popular species is Hydrangea macrophylla which is commonly known as hortensia, bigleaf, or florist’s hydrangea. Hydrangea macrophylla is very common on Faial, the “blue island”, as vast numbers of hydrangeas are present on the island.

Hydrangea flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn. They grow in flowerheads at the ends of the stems. Hydrangeas are white, blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple.

Hydrangea flowers deliver more blooms to the decor, as a single stem is so voluminous. The flower symbolizes perseverance and heartfelt emotions. Here are few flower wedding decor ideas using hydrangeas.

Bouquet Ideas

Any bride looks lovely in bright attire holding a white bouquet of hydrangeas. Combination of white and other colors of hydrangea looks perfect on white bridal gowns. Blue and white hydrangeas create a bright base for a sunflower bouquet. Choose hydrangeas such that bride’s bouquet is matching the scenery of venue. Purple hydrangeas add heft to bold bouquet of roses and calla lilies.

The bride and bridesmaids can carry full, lush hydrangea bouquets. Lilac hydrangeas and red roses complement the bridesmaid’s gown.

Ceremony Decor

For a romantic feel, go with hydrangeas, roses and orchids to decorate the venue. Line the aisle with suspended bundles of hydrangeas. You can also line your aisle with hydrangea pomanders and curly willow branches.

Hydrangea-filled cones hanging along the aisle also looks beautiful. Make a lovely backdrop of pink hydrangeas for bridal portraits.

Reception Decor

Hydrangeas are wonderful to decorate any celebration. A bountiful arrangement of white hydrangeas and roses makes the venue outstanding. Decorate the chair with bunches of hydrangeas hanged aside or at chair backs. If you want to make the decor unique, use a fruit-filled vase to add punch to the tall hydrangea arrangement.

Centerpiece Ideas

A vase with pops of hydrangeas and fresh greenery makes a rustic and eye catching centerpiece. Use hydrangeas as the base of your centerpiece and then punch it up with few bold-hued flowers.

Decorate a table setting with a beautiful array of hydrangeas mixed with other flowers. White hydrangeas make a centerpiece standout even in low lighting. White hydrangeas add depth to the centerpiece filled with roses.

Cake

Use hydrangeas as cake toppings. Use mismatch colors or bright hydrangeas on light colored cakes and vice-versa. A classic white cake decorated with purple hydrangeas is just outstanding. Both real and sugar hydrangeas can be used to dress up the cakes.
