MemberAnyone done or seen any inexpensive DIY hydrangea centerpieces? I love these flowers, and am trying to keep the costs down so I was considering ordering them in bulk and doing a really simple arrangement with these in a clear vase w/ a pink ribbon over gray/silver tablecloths (our colors are gray and soft pink). I am not a talented flower arranger, so I am hoping to find something that even I can’t screw up 🙂
MemberI was going to do them for centerpieces as well as bouquets, but when it came time to order them for a May wedding, the cost per stem ws ridiculously high. I love how they look and what you’ve described sounds pretty!
MemberThat sounds pretty! I’ve heard that hydrangeas are terribly fragile, though, and tend to wilt quickly. You could try silk flowers to prevent that from happening and to keep the costs down–afloral.com has some nice ones, from what I remember.
MemberI am using them but not DIY. The good thing is they are so big that you don’t need a lot and you can mix them with a less expensive flower also in white.
Member@lucylu123: Hydrangeas can be expensive, but on the plus side you don’t need as many because they’re so large.
What Mrs. Grape said about them being fragile is also true. But I think they should be okay as long as you are keeping them in water all the time.
Sam’s Club has these white ones for 52 bucks including shipping.

MemberI used hydrangeas in my centerpieces, but they were from my parent’s garden, so they were free. They are also more teardrop shaped – not round like many that you see for sale. We added small roses that were ordered from 50 flowers also (these centerpieces were DIY) Hope this helps though 🙂
MemberThese are all beautiful! Thanks so much for the suggestions, this was really helpful!

MemberI have heard very good things about Costco and Sam’s Club hydrangeas. My florist friend actually suggested them because the price can’t be beat and they are good quality. Only thing is, they are kind of delicate so just be aware of that if you buy them online.
I think you can totally do these, the beauty of hydrangeas is you don’t have to do much to them and they look great!
MemberI love hydrangeas, but they weren’t really in season in July. They were there, but they looked kind of sad. There were tons in August, and I’m pretty sure I bought ones that looked decent in May, but you may just want to double check?
MemberI was going to do the same thing, but when I met with my florist (I was not going to DIY my bouquet) she told me she could do the centerpieces for $35. We only have about 6 centerpieces, so it was worth it for me to not have to deal with another thing that weekend.
MemberIt seems like they can be ordered any time of the year…I’m sure they are just more expensive at certain times of the year. Unfortunately there is no Costco or Sam’s club within a 2hour radius of where I live, which means they would have to survive a long car ride, and I’m not sure that would be good for them. Any idea if they deliver directly to your house, or is it better to go with one of the bulk flower websites?
Memberthis was our centerpiece but it costs $80 – I’m sure u can do it as DIY for much less
MemberYes, I’m pretty sure Sam’s Club and Costco can deliver to your house.
