17 Beautiful Single Bloom Bouquets
Sometimes less is more. When it comes to your wedding floral arrangements nothing says elegant simplicity better than a single bloom bouquet. This trendy floral idea is sometimes more cost-effective than a full traditional bouquet and it makes for an easy DIY project. Consider opting for single flowers for your bridesmaids’ bouquets and a composite arrangement, petals from multiple flowers glued together to make one large bloom, for your bouquet. You can even mix and match colours for a truly unique look.

Everything You Need to Know About Hydrangeas

This morning the Internet is all abuzz with the news that Madonna hates hydrangeas. Madge was given a bouquet of hydrangeas by a fan at the Venice Film Festival, and her microphone picked up the following quote: “I absolutely loathe hydrangeas.” For the record, we agree to disagree with the Material Girl on the subject: hydrangeas are perfectly pretty flowers that can be a great addition to your wedding decor. Here’s four reasons to love hydrangeas:
1. THEY’RE AFFORDABLE.
Not only are hydrangea blossoms beautiful, they’re also extremely voluminous, which means you don’t need many flowers to fill up your bouquet or centrepiece.
2. THEY’RE COLOURFUL.
Hydrangeas don’t just come in blue. They’re also available in white, green, pink and lavender, so it’s easy to find a colour that works with your decorating scheme.
3.THEY’RE MEANINGFUL.
Among other things, hydrangeas are meant to symbolize devotion. How perfect is that for your bridal bouquet?
4. THEY’RE VERSATILE.
Hydrangeas look great on their own (a big bunch in a low vase makes a nice centrepiece), but they also look lovely mixed with other flowers (see above).
Where do you stand on the hydrangea debate? Love them or hate them?
