Why I Love Beautiful Hydrangea Blooms

Hydrangeas are my favorite flowers for two reasons. First, hydrangeas are a very versatile flower. This perfect flower is beautiful on its own, but can also be dressed up or dressed down, just like an outfit! As such, they are the perfect backdrop for pictures. And second, hydrangeas are very easy to care for.

Caring for Hydrangeas

Before we get into decorating with hydrangeas, let's talk about their care. If done right, these flower arrangements can last for up to two weeks freshly cut.

Preliminary Care

• With store bought flowers - take them out of plastic and cut about 6 inches off the hydrangea stems
• Immediately put your fresh flowers in several inches of cold water in your sink. Make sure the blooms are in the water. Hydrangeas soak up most of their water through their blooms.

Continued Maintenance Tips

• Wilting - submerge the blooms into cold water for a few minutes. Another great way to revive after wilting is dipping the stems of hydrangeas in boiling water. This will usually bring them back to life for a few more days
• After a week, take your fresh hydrangeas and cut off at least another inch of the stem to freshen it up
• Change out the water and add a bag of plant food if you have extra
• Dip your stems in alum to help them last longer
• Keep out of direct sunlight

Easy Hydrangea Decorating Ideas

Use White Pitchers

Hydrangeas are a great choice for using in pictures because they are so full. I like to dress them up by placing them in a white pitcher. An easy way to change up your typical vase with flowers is using a white milk pitcher. White hydrangeas really make this simple arrangement pop with a touch of sophistication.

Adding Accent Flowers

When it comes to creating a hydrangea arrangement, don't be afraid to go big with color. One of the easiest ways to improve your beautiful bouquets with various colors is by throwing in a few accent flowers. Daisies are a really good combination with white hydrangeas. Though you can also pick different colors of hydrangeas if you don't care about diversity in your flower head.

Use in Exterior Pots

For spring, I love to use hydrangea decorating in my exterior pots. I bunched them in the base of the flower pot and framed around the boxwood in the middle. They create a perfect balance between the voluminous boxwood and blossoming hydrangea heads. These flowers are perfect for filling in large empty spots because the giant bloom.

You can create this look with fresh or faux hydrangeas. But if you are worried about inclimate weather, stick with a faux variety. You can see everything I used below to create this look.

Rustic Vase for Hydrangea Decorating

Looking to dress your hydrangeas down a bit? Implement a few rustic elements like an old stone, metal or tin vase. Containers that have been weathered by natural elements are a fun way to dress down your flowers while still producing a rustic farmhouse style.

Dried Hydrangea Wreath

Do you love a beautiful wreath for your front door? Dry hydrangeas and weave them into the greenery on your front door wreath. You can also utilize a selection of faux flowers if you are worried about harsh elements destroying your dried hydrangeas. This would be beautiful for spring, summer or fall decor on your front porch.

Accented Colored Jars

You can also bring in extra color through your jars. These lovely purple hydrangeas look stunning in these simple turquoise jars. But if you don't love colored jars, at least blend together different colors of your flowers. Blue hydrangeas and pink hydrangeas are especially gorgeous with a purple mix.

Centerpiece Hydrangea Decorating

Include a floral centerpiece on your table as part of your hydrangea decorating. I love having a large focal point on my dining room table. For this centerpiece I combined three vases together and arranged a mixture of hydrangeas and other flowers with my clock and dishes.

For this other centerpiece I paired my purple hydrangeas with a basket of fruit. These centerpieces are perfect to use on a dining table, coffee table or a side console. Take a look here for more tips on creating flower centerpieces.

Branch out beyond poinsettias and use hydrangeas in your tree this year. They are perfect for taking up lots of space and creating a unique, decorative masterpiece.
