As a florist, garden center, or arranger, you may often be asked to provide eye-catching floral arrangements for a wedding or event. The client is often looking for floral work that adds an extra “wow factor” to the wedding or event.
When we look at wedding decorations in the form of the bridal bouquet, floral arrangements on the dinner table, or larger floral decorations in or near the party space or ceremony, the Hydrangea is a wonderful flower to work with. The Hydrangea easily combines with other flowers and decorative green foliage, but it also has the quality of truly stealing the show with its lush blooms.
It’s no surprise that the Hydrangea is among the top 5 flowers used for wedding decorations and especially for bridal bouquets. When used in white and pink shades, the flower creates an extra romantic look, which is perfect for celebrating a wedding.
Besides its beautiful appearance, the Hydrangea also carries symbolic meaning, being associated with grace, beauty, abundance, gratitude, and heartfelt emotions.
After the wedding, the Hydrangea can also be considered for decorating a baby shower. It is available in both blue and pink hues, making it ideal for adding a special touch to a baby shower. Have you ever created something lovely with it for one of your assignments?
Fun fact: The cultivation of cut Hydrangeas is one of the most sustainable cut flower crops! The required use of energy and fertilizers is very low, for example.
