silk hydrangea flowers

Silk hydrangea flowers are large and have a perfect burst of color. They generally come in two basic shapes, a cone and a ball. The cone hydrangea is usually smaller. Hydrangeas can be found in dozens of colors so finding the perfect color will not be a problem. Also, hydrangea stems are very full so it does not take a lot to fill a vase.

Here are some tips for arranging your hydrangeas:

Just put a single stem in a bud vase. This idea is very popular at weddings because the flower is large and showy and because one stem fills as much visual space as a small bundle of flowers. These are also perfect for intimate dining.

Make a drop in bouquet. Take a glass or a medium size vase and drop a bundle or drop-in bouquet into it. This is a great idea for a kitchen table or an end table. The drop-ins usually have some greenery in them, but this will add a nice burst of color.

Make a hydrangea bouquet. Bouquets don't just need to be for weddings. Take about half a dozen silk hydrangea stems, wrap them together with floral tape and add some ribbon. The finished product is perfect for a decorative shelf or a mantle.

Fill a rectangular planter with hydrangeas. Take a rectangular planter and put floral foam in the base. Cover with some moss and add hydrangeas and some modest greenery. Don't overwhelm the planter. For variety try using two shades of the same color.

Silk hydrangeas are a great decorating flower, and there is an endless amount of things you can do with them.
