Hydrangea stems how much??

Aw sorry to hear about your Nana, thats really sad so close to your wedding

Hydrageas are my favourites so I hope someone replies soon

I recently did the flowers for my sisters wedding. She had a hydrangea bouquet as did the bridesmaids.

Hydrangeas are quite expensive per stem. It will depend on where in the country you are and the time of year, but I'd guess a minimum of £3.50 per stem. I used around 4-5 stems for each bridesmaid bouquet and around 7 for my sisters one.

I ended up getting hydrangea plants and cutting the stems off these as it was cheaper.

Ilove hydrangea but i was told they arent good to use esp in summer as they wilt easily

Hydrangeas are areoud £3.50 per head, we had them in out centrepieces however my florist wasn't comfortable putting them in the boquet as they wilt terribly when sunlight hits them!

Eeeek!!!!!

I was absolutely set on having hydrangeas in my bouquet!

The cake is having hydrangea flowers (icing ones) decorating it too

I hope they dont wilt! Im getting married in July!!!!!

Thanks for the reply's thanks dainty disco.

I am also set on having hydrangeas especially as I want to do the flowers ourselves.

So we are looking at around £3.50 per stem?? Thats still a budget friendly price as long as they don't wilt eeek.

Would anyone be able to recommend artificial hydrangeas and a flash.

I wanted them in my bouquet too, my grandad was growing them especially for our wedding

I was gutted but we got married in July and the sun was very hot so I didn't want to risk it wilting, here's a flash of my bouquet and the table arrangements

My bouquet

Speak to your florist, there may be a way round it but it was something that I wasn't prepared to take a chance on!

It may not even by sunny, if it's overcast you'll probably be fine, it was lovely fpur is that we could still incorporate the hydrangaes into the table decorations and they complemented the bouquet very well!

It will all be perfect

Beautiful flower arrangements Carly x

I had hydrangeas in my bouquet & three big heads of hydrangea in a spotty jug as well as other big blousy flowers in milk bottles etc. A friend who is a florist got them from the wholesalers. I have a hydrangea bush in our garden but she said the ones she could get would last longer. I've still got the hydrangea in a jug on the kitchen windowsill & I got married on 8th September which was a really warm day so guess she was right. Sometimes I think people break hydrangea up into smaller "florets" (not sure that's correct word) & they possibly don't live as long then especially if they are put on wires to fit into a bouquet.

My friend (not the florist) used one big head & sort of weaved other flowers into bouquet around the hydrangea. I'll add a flash but it doesn't really show off the hydrangea as well as it did in real life.

I did try cutting some from the garden & it didn't live for as long.

Hydrangea are often split and wired for bridal work (or pipped as it's known in the trade) They are a gorgeous flower for weddings and if they are pipped and wired amongst other flowers in a bouquet, the other flowers help to support them within the design. They are very popular for weddings and lots of people do have them so if you have set your heart on having hydrangea, do speak to your florist as they are many ways we can make flowers 'survive' better in warmer conditions.

As for artificial hydrangea, this is extremely realistic and comes in a wide range of colours. It can also be mixed with fresh flowers if you are marrying when hydrangea is out of season. Here's a few photos of artficial bouquets I've done which have hydrangea in them:-

Also I love your flowers Carly!

Lovely photos they suit the vibe I am going for I will find a way. Our wedding is in July on a beach in Scotland so it could be a glories day filled with sunshine or overcast (fingers crossed for no rain).

Thanks for the links 3D Jewellery I'll take a look.
