Antique Blue Jumbo Hydrangea

I love love love hydrangea and I wanted to add this to the bouquets and oh my! what a difference these made! Beautiful color!

JUMBO is right! I pulled these out of the box and they were literally as big as my head! The next morning after a cool bath and fresh cut these hydrangea were literally amazing! My blooms all changed different colors it was fascinating to watch them change over the week- some of them were a nice olive color with a deep blue, others turned a little more antique blue with a cool green! I loved everything about these flowers. I used them as a base for my bouquets and then just pulled the steams of my roses and other flowers through the hydrangea. This allowed my bouquets to be really full looking without all the work! I also did this for my centerpieces, although the blooms were so big I had to spilt it into 2 or sometimes 3 and use one section as the base for my centerpieces! I loved having these hydrangeas paired with my flower selections but I can easily see how they would hold their own as an individual flower for a bouquet or arrangement!

Only 4 stars as these were not nearly as blue as the photos, but still gorgeous. I ended up supplementing some arrangements by purchasing more light blue hydrangeas from a local shop to add more blue in overall.

This was my splurge item! I love the unique blend of colors from blues to greens to muted hues of purple! We used these flowers for the large vases on both sides of the church altar and repurposed at the venue to highlight the head table. These flowers were gorgeous when combined with birch and willow accents!

The bride squealed with joy when we opened the Antique Blue Jumbo Hydrangea. The dusty blue and pale green with cream were the exact colors we'd hope they be and they were fabulously enormous. Each head was 12 to 14 inches in diameter. We were nervous about the care of hydrangeas and friends had told us horror stories about how quickly the can go limp. But not these! They were packaged meticulously with each head wrapped individually and the stems all had their own hydration pack carefully attached. These flowers formed the base of all our design and the bride's bouquet contained 3 of them so you can imagine how lush and romantic her bouquet looked. We also used these in galvanized, French flower buckets as aisle markers. Every bride considering adding a touch of dusty blue needs to purchase these!
