Fresh or dried, the hydrangea always has style

Whether you love the fresh colours of fresh hydrangeas, or the nude colour palette of the dried flower: with these styling tips you will make the most of the flower.

This is how you make a fresh hydrangea bouquet

Hydrangeas are definitely not wallflowers. With their round shapes they make an impression in every vase. To make a fresh bouquet like the one in the photo, you need a couple of hydrangeas in blue, white and pink, some alchemilla and a large vase. First take the alchemilla, place the hydrangeas against it and cut the stems diagonally, at a length you are happy with. Place water in the clean vase, the bouquet in it and you are ready.

Or do you prefer dried flowers?

Maybe you prefer the nude shades of dried hydrangeas, to the fresh colours. If so then let your flowers dry by hanging them on a line with pegs, for example, making sure that they are hanging in a dry place. Once you have dried them you can enjoy their soft colours for ever. For a colour contrast you could also regularly have fresh hydrangeas in your home.
