A Simple Fall Wreath Using Annabelle Hydrangeas

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know how much I adore my Annabelle hydrangeas!

We have beautiful hydrangea bushes around our home, and every summer I look forward to their big, fluffy white blooms.

But honestly, one of my favorite things about Annabelle hydrangeas is what happens in the fall.

Those beautiful white flowers slowly turn the prettiest shade of green, and that’s when I know it’s time to start cutting and drying them!

Instead of letting all those gorgeous blooms go to waste, I decided to bring a little bit of my garden indoors and make a simple fall wreath.

And you guys, I couldn’t believe how easy it was!

Sometimes the simplest projects really do turn out to be the prettiest.

Supplies for My DIY Hydrangea Wreath

You only need a few things to make this beautiful, natural wreath:

• A large grapevine wreath (I got mine at Hobby Lobby!)
• Freshly cut, mature Annabelle hydrangea blooms that are ready to dry
• Garden shears or scissors for trimming stems

That’s it! No hot glue, floral wire, or fancy crafting supplies required!

I love using a grapevine wreath because the branches naturally hold the hydrangea stems in place.

Talk about decorating with ease!

How to Make a Hydrangea Wreath in 10 Minutes

Step 1: Cut Your Hydrangeas

Head outside and gather your Annabelle hydrangea blooms.

My biggest tip is to wait until the blooms have changed from white to green toward the end of the growing season.

This is when they are mature enough to dry beautifully instead of shriveling up.

Leave enough stem attached to tuck each flower into your wreath.

Step 2: Tuck the Hydrangeas Into Your Grapevine Wreath

Here’s where the magic happens!

Simply take your hydrangea stems and tuck them between the branches of your grapevine wreath.

No attaching necessary!

The grapevine holds the stems in place, making this one of the easiest DIY wreaths you’ll ever make.

Keep adding blooms around the wreath until you achieve the fullness you love.

Step 3: Fill In the Gaps

Take a look at your wreath and adjust any blooms that need a little fluffing or repositioning. I suggest doing this when it’s hanging up so you can see where the empty gaps are.

I love a full, natural-looking wreath, so I tucked the flowers close together.

Don’t worry about making it perfect. A little bit of imperfection adds to its charm!

Step 4: Hang and Enjoy!

That’s it!

In about 10 minutes, you’ve created a gorgeous DIY hydrangea wreath using flowers from your own garden.

Hang it somewhere indoors, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and let the blooms continue drying naturally.

As the flowers dry, they’ll take on those beautiful muted green and antique shades that I absolutely love.

One little tip: Dried hydrangeas can be delicate, so handle your wreath gently and choose a spot where it won’t get bumped or blown around.

Can You Make a Hydrangea Wreath With Fresh Hydrangeas?

Yes! That’s exactly what I did!

The secret is choosing mature Annabelle hydrangeas that have already started transitioning from white back to green.

These blooms are much better suited for drying than newly opened white hydrangeas.

As long as you’ve chosen blooms that are ready to dry, they can dry right on your wreath!
