⨠A Note from Your Coordinator-Hydrangeas Are the Most Dramatic Flower in the Game!!!
Hydrangeas are stunning, but they are also one of the most unreliable, high-maintenance flowers you can choose for your wedding day.
And I donât say that lightly-
I have personally watched hydrangeas break two different bridesâ hearts..
once the night before the wedding⌠and once the morning of.
Full arrangements. Gone limp. Completely wilted. đ
So whatâs the deal?
Hydrangeas are incredibly water-sensitive.
Unlike many other flowers, they drink through their petals and their stemsâwhich means:
â˘They dehydrate fast (like, alarmingly fast)
â˘Heat, wind, and direct sun will take them out quickly
â˘Even being out of water for a short period can cause wilting
â˘Once they goâŚthey donât come back
Theyâre basically the divas of the floral world.
â¨What I recommend as your coordinator:
If you are set on hydrangeas (and I get it..theyâre gorgeous), please hire a professional florist to manage them properly.
This means:
â˘Keeping them fully hydrated up until the last possible second
â˘Storing them in the right temperature conditions
â˘Bringing them out right before your ceremony or reception
â˘Possibly having backups on hand (yes, really)
This is NOT a flower I recommend DIYing or letting sit out all day.
My honest advice:
Hydrangeas can absolutely be used beautifully;
but they require intentional timing, care, and a florist who knows how to handle them.
Choose your blooms wisely, my brides!
