Mad props! Nobody would ever believe that you got those flowers there. :)
(Our PW is a little run-down. I scared to go there, but I've been to nice ones before).
Great job! I love hydrangeas.
That looks great! I plan on doing hydrangeas of some sort and I'm glad to see it's very possible to DIY them.
Looks good! One thing I was warned with hydrangeas is that they can droop and brown. So you might want to see how long your bouquet lasts. I had some in my bouquet, that we also did DIY, and a few hours before the wedding, we cut the stems and then put clear nailpolish on the bottom to seal in the water. Not sure if there's any difference but they looked nice all day. I was also reading somewhere you can spritz them with hairspray or something to help them look perky. We didn't do this but you might want to try it out if you're practicing.
THEY LOOK SO GOOD!
If you do hydrangeas DIY before the wedding though, do them as last-minute as possible. My photographer personally warned me against DIY-ing hydrangeas as they are incredibly fragile and usually dry up and brown before the end of the wedding. I think waiting till the last minute would reduce this effect.
They look great. I might follow in your footsteps.
It looks great! I'm loving all the DIY flowers on WB! It's making me feel better and better about doing mine:-)
I made my friend's hydrangea bouquet and it was a very hot day. They didn't droop because I made sure they were in water until she went down the aisle. If you make a cute vase, you'll always have a place to set it.
they look great! see if u can buy the little water tubes for the bottom though...my florist said they wont last long out of water at all and shes gonna put them in that and then wrap the whole bottom with the ribbon so u dont see that. i was at a wedding recently and not that long into the night her bouquet was totally wilted and dead looking and browning. and the boutanierres (dunno how to spell that!) that had some hydrangea in them were dead by the cocktail hour!! they're a tricky flower so just be careful...good luck!
Thanks! These lasted a week in a vase with water! LOVE the nail polish and water tubes idea. I was hoping to keep them in a vase but water tubes would be way easier and one less thing to forget to do that day!
I also heard if you submerge wilted tops in water they perk back up... didn't try it but it's worth a shot if you are doing a trial run first. I will probably do 1 more run through... just to practice again and also as an excuse to buy myself flowers!
Very pretty! I am using hydrangeas too, and I love how easy they are to arrange!

After meeting with the florist and hearing that 4 stems would cost me roughly $90 I stopped by Piggly Wiggly (yes seriously the one here is very nice actually we're getting our cake there too!) I picked up 5 stems at 3.99 each (may be more expensive int the off season (but not $20/each)... a hair band since I didn't have a rubberband... medical tape and just wrapping some ribbon around the stems and this is what I got. I like it... it was only 5 minutes I would be more particular with my real one and place them a little more maybe even 1 or 2 more stems and better ribbon wrapping. What do you think?
