Planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful, but the one thing that can bring a bit of joy to the process is the wedding bouquet. Your bouquet can be a way to express your personality and style, so why not DIY a beautiful hydrangea wedding bouquet? Hydrangea is a classic flower for weddings, as it’s elegant and romantic, but also has a unique style that will make your bouquet stand out. We’re here to help you get started with some easy DIY hydrangea wedding bouquet ideas.
Choose Your Colors
The key to creating a beautiful, unique bouquet is to pick your colors carefully. Hydrangeas come in a variety of colors, from the traditional white to pink, blue, purple, and even green. You can pick a single color or mix and match to create a stunning, multicolored bouquet. Keep in mind that hydrangea flowers are incredibly delicate, so the brighter the color, the more fragile they’ll be. If you’re looking for a lasting bouquet, you may want to stick to lighter shades.
Gather Your Supplies
Once you’ve chosen your colors for your bouquet, it’s time to gather the supplies you’ll need to create it. You’ll need fresh cut hydrangeas, floral wire, floral tape, ribbon, and scissors or wire cutters. If you’re using artificial hydrangeas, you won’t need the wire and tape, but you may want some glue to make sure the flowers stay secure.
Assemble the Bouquet
Now it’s time to put your bouquet together. Start by cutting the stems of the hydrangeas to the length you want for your bouquet. If you’re using fresh flowers, wrap the floral wire tightly around the stems. You can then use the floral tape to secure the wire in place. If you’re using artificial flowers, glue them to the stems.
Add the Ribbon
Now it’s time to add the ribbon. Choose a ribbon that matches your color scheme and cut it to the desired length. Tie the ribbon around the stems of the flowers in a bow, or wrap it around the bouquet in a spiral pattern. You can also use a ribbon to give the bouquet a more traditional look by tying it around the stems in a bow.
Arrange the Flowers
Now that the ribbon is in place, it’s time to arrange the flowers. Start by gathering the stems together in a bundle and securing them with the floral wire. You can then arrange the flowers in the desired shape, whether it’s a cascading bouquet or a traditional round shape. Make sure to adjust the flowers as you go to make sure they look symmetrical.
Finish the Bouquet
Once you’re happy with the shape and size of your bouquet, it’s time to finish it off. Wrap the stems in ribbon and secure it in place with the floral tape. You can also add a few sprigs of greenery and some filler flowers, such as baby’s breath, to give the bouquet a more finished look.
Add the Finishing Touches
The last step is to add the finishing touches. You can add a few decorative items to the bouquet, such as charms, beads, or a brooch. You can also add a few accents to the ribbon, such as pearls or crystals. Finally, you can spritz the bouquet with a bit of floral spray to give it a lasting scent.
Give It a Test Run
Before you tie the bouquet off, it’s a good idea to give it a test run. Take it for a spin around the room, or even outside, to make sure it’s the right size, shape, and weight. You don’t want your bouquet to be too heavy or too light, so make sure it’s just right before you tie it off with the ribbon.
