Hydrangeas

I love my hydrangeas. They have grown so much in the 3 years since we planted them. This year they are full of blooms. There are plenty of flowers for me to cut and have an arrangements inside to enjoy as well.



I especially love the blue ones with the hint of green. I think they could be used as inspiration for a wedding, bridal or baby shower, birthday party, or even just a get together. I've collected some pictures of items necessary for hosting an event that would compliment the hydrangeas. As the hydrangea is already oozing with elegance, I would stick to simple arrangements in low round or square glass bowls (such as the picture above) for the tables and use the hydrangeas in other bouquets, highlighted with a few lime green berries.
