Tara Guerard of Soiree frequently uses hydrangeas as centerpieces for weddings, she says. The wedding designer also has used hydrangea in wreaths, hanging flower centerpieces, flower baskets and as tiebacks for curtains.
“June is our favorite time of the year to use local hydrangeas,” Guerard says. “They have white, pink blue, lavender and purple, and longleaf, which are mainly like a green and cream. I think they go with anything from roses to Queen Anne’s lace. All on their own, they make a fabulous statement.”
When cut, hydrangeas should not be placed in direct sun and should be placed in water, the wedding planner says. How long they last after being cut depends on their age. Sometimes older ones can be a bit stronger.
