Did you know that the color of a Hydrangea bloom is determined by the pH reading of the soil in which it is growing? From pale Blue to Green, Purple and even Red you’ll never really know what tone your in-for until they actually bloom. Luckily for us Brides, we can determine our favourite colour and let our trusty florist create our dream bouquet… And why not include Hydrangeas? Made up of hundreds of mini star formations in one hefty round bunch, they’re a beautiful soft way to add body and texture.

Well known for their unique Blue and Purple tones, Hydrangeas have long been used solely for their colour. But today, with Brides experimenting with the multitudes of options available, they are making a comeback in many clever ways. Entire bouquets of Hydrangeas are all the rage creating the illusion of masses of flowers. Like carrying a little fluffy cloud, regardless of the colour you certainly get more bang for your buck when it comes to this particular bloom. Available in Australia, November through to early April this versatile flower can easily make it’s way into your bouquet. Blue, Green, Purple or White, leave it up to nature or create your dream display with blooming Hydrangeas. ♥
