Meaning of colors
The language of flowers has long been used to express feelings. On it, hydrangea (another name for this flower is hydrangia) means modesty, truthfulness, faith and hope .
Necessary qualities for a girl entering family life, swearing an oath of fidelity to her lover. Hydrangia given to someone also signifies a declaration of love.
By choosing a wedding bouquet with these flowers, the bride promises her future husband to be a faithful wife, a tender, devoted life partner. Important! It is believed that this lovely flower will bring a calm atmosphere to the home, peace, goodwill, the newlyweds will be healthy, and their family life will be prosperous.
In addition, hydrangea flowers are very impressive and go perfectly with a lush wedding dress. This flower personifies the brilliant beauty of the bride, her uniqueness, her difference from other women on her most special day.
How to match a girl's style?
When choosing hydrangea to decorate the bride’s wedding bouquet, you need to consider some points:
- A wedding bouquet, like a dress, should reflect the personality of the bride. The best image is one in which the appearance matches the inner content. A classic composition of hydrangeas will especially elegantly emphasize the beauty of gentle romantic girls;
- A spectacular ball of hydrangia should not be made too large for miniature people , so as not to upset the proportions;
- Tall, slender brides in classic long dresses will benefit from cascading floral arrangements;
- Bright, daring people should add other flowers to hydrangeas , for example, exotic lilies or orchids;
- If the bride wants to emphasize her originality, an asymmetrical bouquet with hydrangeas , which has “disheveled” shaggy outlines, will suit her.
The bouquet should act as a single whole with the overall wedding scenario. Fortunately, hydrangia has many faces. It will decorate a classic lavish celebration, a wedding in a rustic style, or an elegant retro ceremony.
Hydrangea - a noble choice
Choosing the shape of a flower arrangement is an important part of preparing for an event. There are hemisphere, cascade, teardrop-shaped, bouquet-handbag and others. It is necessary to decide in advance what shape, color and completeness the composition will be, and order it in the salon. The boutonniere on the groom's jacket and the bride's flowers must be from the same “collection”.
You need to make sure there is a vase nearby and put the bouquet in water from time to time
The bouquet must be beautiful, light, lush, on a short stem, the smell must be unobtrusive , and the color must be in harmony with the dress of the bridegroom. The composition must stay fresh throughout the day; the bride will be with flowers in the registry office, on a walk, in a restaurant.

A bridal bouquet made of hydrangea is an excellent option for a celebration. Lush inflorescences, like clouds, symbolize innocence and loyalty to a single person. With a delicate scent, airy, as if corrugated inflorescences, thanks to various shades of white , pastel, blue, pink and purple, hydrangea is very popular in wedding bouquets.
Composition ideas
Brides and wedding florists adore hydrangea for its rich color hues. In addition to classic white, you can choose soft blue, light green, pale pink or lilac.
Lovers of rich, bright colors should pay attention to the rich colors of lush inflorescences - yellow, blue, purple, crimson, lilac. There are few competitors to whom hydrangea is ready to yield in terms of richness and richness of shades.
The most popular color schemes for wedding bouquets with hydrangeas:
- pink shades of flowers for a spring wedding;
- compositions of purple, blue or burgundy tones for an autumn celebration.
Often hydrangia is compositionally combined with other flowers - peonies, roses, orchids, lilies, callas. And here florists have no less room for creativity, for example:
- the “leading” role is assigned to other colors, and hydrangea is used for a spectacular floral background - neutral or contrasting;
- All flowers of the bouquet are selected in a single color scheme, creating a monochromatic composition.
Idea! Mono-bouquets of hydrangea are very popular and are considered a simple, elegant and stylish solution for any look.
Among the flower favorites:
- a combination of white hydrangia with white peonies or roses;
- an alliance of pink hyacinths and matching hydrangeas;
- contrasting “unions” of innocent white and rich purple flowers.
White, blue, dark blue in a mono bouquet
A mono-bouquet is made up of flowers of the same type and color, but a play of shades within the same basic tone is allowed. White, blue and blue hydrangeas are ideal for such compositions:
- Snow-white hydrangia is a light foamy cloud in the hands of the bride. The best addition to a classic romantic look. The personification of the purity and innocence of a young girl entering into marriage;
- Blue hydrangea has a rich color with a milky tint. She looks good with a bolder, edgier look;
- Blue flowers in the bride's bouquet become a bright, noticeable accessory. This original compositional solution suits extraordinary, decisive people.
When composing a mono-bouquet, both larger and smaller flowers are selected.
With roses
The combination of hydrangea and rose is often used to create wedding flower arrangements. Lush rose buds are harmoniously complemented by wavy hydrangia petals, forming a beautiful wedding bouquet.
Popular color combinations:
- cream or peach rose buds against a general background of white hydrangeas;
- all shades of pink roses are elegantly combined with purple, blue, lilac hydrangeas, creating a bold, even daring version of the bride’s bouquet;
- large white roses against a background of milky blue small and large hydrangea flowers help to create a romantic, stylish composition;
- contrast of colors, where in a ball bouquet roses and hydrangeas in rich shades, for example, pink, lilac, form clear color sectors.
Interesting options are when small rose buds serve as a background for large, lush varieties of hydrangea.
With peonies
Peonies look just as good as roses with hydrangeas. Unlike roses, whose buds are clearly defined, the peony flower is softer and more lush. It does not have a rigid outline and gives the composition lightness, playfulness, and charm. At the same time, peonies can be used to create bouquets of any shape, including classic balls with clear outlines.
Important! Most varieties of peonies bloom in June-July, so a bouquet of peonies and hydrangeas is the recognized king of summer weddings.
Frequently used combinations of peonies and hydrangia:
- white peonies on a colored background of blue, pink or pale green hydrangeas;
- bright color accents of richly colored peonies (red, pink, burgundy) on a white or cream background of hydrangeas;
- A very impressive bouquet that combines small closed and lush open peony buds.
With orchids
The orchid is an aristocratic, exquisite flower. In a wedding bouquet with hydrangeas, the orchid takes center stage due to its spectacular shape. For holiday floristry, the orchid is valuable for its richness of flowers. White, cream, yellow, pink orchids harmonize with the wedding dress. For bold adventurous natures, bouquets with accents of red orchids are suitable.
Of the most popular varieties of orchids for a wedding bouquet with hydrangeas, the following are used:
- cone-shaped vanda;
- large and spectacular cymbidium;
- cascading phalaenopsis.
Different shapes of orchid flowers in combination with hydrangea allow you to create compositions of any shape - classic round, cascading, asymmetrical.
With lilies
No less elegant than the combination of orchids and hydrangeas is a composition with lilies. Lily buds are large, with long graceful petals and a noticeable core. This artsy tropical flower goes well with the delicate wavy caps of hydrangeas, creating an extraordinary composition.
To decorate brides' bouquets, they use all colors of lilies: from classic white, pale yellow and cream to two-color buds. Cute and exotic, for example, white lilies with a juicy pink core or burgundy with white edging of petals. “In the foam” of hydrangeas of a similar or contrasting shade, they look great.
Color spectrum
Often, the inflorescence of one plant combines a two-color palette, which allows you to choose the ideal shade of the flower. Many color variations give you wide scope when creating a wedding composition with the desired mood and style:
- white is a classic option, ideal for any bride’s look;
- shades of green (from white-greenish to bright light green) are used to create mono-bouquets with greenery;
- orange and peach are a bright option for a sunny summer wedding;
- pink - from pastel shades to fuchsia;
- deep red and wine colors are a spectacular choice for a wedding composition;
- the blue color looks very gentle, emphasizing the tenderness and dreaminess of the image;
- A floral accessory using a rich blue, lilac or purple hue will become a colorful accent for a bold, romantic nature.
The photo below shows the different color variations of the flower:
Form
Let us highlight five main forms of bouquets using hydrangeas:
- A sphere is the shape of a ball with a clear outline. It can be made on a leg so that the bride can carry it in her hands. But there is a more original solution - a hanging sphere on a loop tape, which is held with your fingertips or worn on the wrist;
- A hemisphere is half a ball on a leg. Usually the flat side of the bouquet is decorated with lace and ribbons. The shape is clear;
- Asymmetric. In contrast to clear contour solutions with their elegant severity, the asymmetrical bouquet has “disheveled” edges (it is called disheveled), giving the bride’s image lightness and playfulness;
- Cascade. In cascading compositions, flower branches hanging from the main bouquet are created. Chic, but at the same time delicate, sophisticated look;
- Natural. In the natural form of a wedding bouquet, florists strive to emphasize its external simplicity and apparent artlessness.
Whatever bouquet the bride chooses, hydrangea will highlight the beauty of the wedding dress and give an unforgettable mood to the young couple’s celebration of love.
Decor
Florist designers pay special attention to decorating a wedding bouquet. A spectacular accessory requires a decent frame.
The bride's bouquet of hydrangias is additionally decorated with:
- ribbons of different lengths and textures;
- a cover (corset) for the leg with beautiful embroidery with pearls or rhinestones;
- lace;
- beads, brooch or pendant, which are attached to the bouquet itself;
- a talisman made of a talisman stone.
For original and bold wedding decisions, non-standard decorations of wedding bouquets are used, for example, a rough cord, buttons or letters with the initials of the newlyweds. In combination with delicate hydrangeas, memorable, non-trivial flower arrangements are obtained.
Combination with other colors
The fashion for non-trivial plants has made mono-wedding bouquets of hydrangea one of the most popular. The inflorescences are rarely locally colored; in many varieties the petals have several shades, gently flowing into each other. This feature, combined with its impressive size, makes the plant very decorative and convenient, including for novice florists. Literally 2 – 3 branches can replace a lush mix, and you don’t even have to fold them using a spiral technique to increase the volume.
But still, Hydrangeas can often be found in bouquet arrangements.
They look best in a duet with them:
- Orchids. The complex shape of these exotics perfectly complements the spherical inflorescences both in round arrangements and in cascades, pomanders or miniature tussie-mussies.
- Peonies. This combination, especially in pastel colors, is ideal for European style. It must be complemented with vertical elements that create the effect of slight negligence, as if the bride had simply walked through the garden and collected everything that came her way.
- Roses. Peony-shaped varieties, “floribundas” or hybrid teas with cup-shaped buds are preferred. Small bush spray varieties are also good, giving an interesting play of textures. The bride's bouquet with hydrangea and roses is complemented with succulents, berries and climbing decorative greenery.
- Freesia. Since both plants have small enough flowers to highlight each of them in the bride's bouquet, contrasting colors are chosen. For example, white freesia and bright blue hydrangea or, respectively, soft pink and light green shades.
- Lilies. These flowers solo in almost any composition. In the case of hydrangia, a very favorable background is created for them, which they try to diversify with small bush chrysanthemums, alstroemerias, waxflower and exotic greenery.
How to keep it fresh?
Hydrangia are moisture-loving flowers. The name “hydrangea” itself is derived from two Greek roots: “hydr” (water, moisture) and “ang” (vessel). So the name of the flower reflects its need for constant replenishment with moisture. When choosing hydrangea to create a wedding bouquet, be sure to take this quality into account.
To keep your flowers fresh throughout your wedding, follow these simple rules:
- Choose only freshly cut flowers;
- Before arranging a bouquet, first place the plants in water for several hours so that they are well saturated with moisture;
- Use a porta bouquet holder. This is a special decorated holder for a wedding bouquet, equipped with a floral sponge soaked in water. Flowers in a porta bouquet have access to moisture throughout the holiday.
Advice! If you do not use a porta bouquet maker, make sure that at the holiday there are vases with water nearby, where you will periodically place flowers.

Weightless bouquets with hydrangeas
Fluffy hydrangea buds seem to be specially created for the most precious ones - you want to give these flowers to mothers, sisters, grandmothers, and loved ones.
Multi-colored bunches collected in one bouquet look amazing. Plain inflorescences, beautifully arranged in hat boxes - a stylish and at the same time simple gift.
Hydrangea is an ideal companion for most plants. Weightless inflorescences look equally good with roses, tulips, orchids, peonies, and lilies.
Heads of hydrangeas can be bright accents against the background of neutral flowers in a composition, or they can fill space in a bouquet of large roses and lilies.
Hyacinths and pink hydrangeas look tender. Inflorescences of rich purple color gracefully emphasize the delicacy of pastel eustomas.
