Giant Hydrangea Light Antique Flower

These Hydrangeas are truly "Giant". One bloom was used for each of the bridesmaids bouquets with other filler flowers added. They arrived a little thirsty but after overnight hydration, they were healthy and hearty. They provided the perfect antique hue that I was hoping to achieve. I also used them for centerpieces at the table for the wedding guests and in several arrangements surrounding the cake and bridal table. The size will amaze you. They don't require other flowers to fill a vase, but work well with white, cream, pink and greens. I highly recommend these lovely hydrangeas

The hydrangeas were used as the main flower for the bridal bouquet made by Megan, the bride. They were also used for two ceremony arrangements. Pam made these arrangements by combining with some of the large Ecuador roses in peach and some eucalyptus...and after drying, wow, still stunning! We used the balance of them to break off sections to just lay on tables. So beautiful

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to DIY my flowers. For starters I'm the pickiest person when it comes to aesthetic, and at least if its messed up I only have myself to blame; secondly I knew that I wanted lush, big, bouquets and paying for a florist would be much to expensive. The ordering process was a breeze; efficient, effective, and I had no worries about whether or not the right flowers would show up/if they would be on time. When they showed up in groups a few days before the wedding, I set them up exactly as I was told, and they all opened up beautifully, and were exactly like what I expected to receive.

My bridesmaids and I set about putting together ALL of the arrangements on the Friday before the wedding; all in all a smooth process. Having so many hands on deck was surprisingly a blessing. I was able to dictate clearly what it was I wanted them to do, and having them all do their own bouquet expedited the process immensely! We did all 8 bridesmaids bouquets, my bouquet, 11 boutonnieres, and 16 centerpieces that doubled as Aisle decor.

Unfortunately the venue's AC was broken Friday, and it was chalked up to the unit just not being scheduled to be on. We didn't find out until about 1 hour before the ceremony that it was in fact broken... so all 36 arrangements and the leftovers were both made, and left, in an 80 degree room for about 24 hours. The proteas (my favorite flower on the planet) held up beautifully, as did the thistle and all of the greenery. The Anemones and Veronica were definitely dead about 20 minutes into the ceremony, and the garden roses were looking a little brown... so that was a bummer. To be honest, though.... I did know going into it that A) you should try with all of your might to do boutonnieres the day OF... not the day before and B) Veronica and Anemone were not going to hold up all day anyway (it was forecasted to be about 98 degrees that day).

At the end of the day though, they looked beautiful and I loved the whole experience. It was quicker and easier than a lot of people made it out to be, and I think it was well worth the prep time/planning and organizing to get exactly what I wanted (and a lot of it) for WAY cheaper than a traditional florist!

I bought the Sunny Days Table Centerpieces and I used them for my bridesmaids flowers, as well as some extras around the reception and they were amazing. I also got the Tickle Me Yellow Flower Centerpieces for each table. Everyone said how wonderful they were. I also got the sunflower box of 3 and I loved my flowers so much! I would def. use FiftyFlowers again! :)

The giant antique green hydrangeas were spectacular! I choose them to go with pink garden roses and off white spray roses for my wedding and they were wonderful. Giant is not an exaggeration, the blooms were so big it took three 5 gallon buckets to hold them all and I could have used one more. They also looked exactly like the picture. They were delivered on time and I even got a call from customer service to be sure! I would definitely order from Fifty Flowers again!
