Editorial Guidelines Updated on June 5, 2023 Close Photo: Emma Freeman Photography When it comes to choosing blooms for a lush wedding bouquet, most brides gravitate towards old favorites, like peonies or their more affordable counterparts, garden roses. But hydrangea, an underrated bloom often tucked in as filler, can create the same full shape, intricate texture, and full aesthetic—plus it comes in a range of colors, from vivid lime to antique white, for maximum impact. On their own, hydrangeas are pretty and full enough to act as a standalone flower, but also dainty enough to serve as an unexpected supporting actor. Let these 22 bunches inspire you to incorporate the beloved bloom into your wedding day florals. 58 of Our Favorite Rose Wedding Bouquets 01 of 22 Soft Green Elizabeth Fogarty Photography Hydrangeas come in a myriad of colors—think soft pinks, blues, and creamy whites—but the off-white-meets-green variety might just be the most unique.
