How To Make A Low Hydrangea Centerpiece »

Flowers are one of the easiest ways to brighten up any space quickly, and by quickly I mean, this low hydrangea centerpiece took me less than 10 minutes to make! Hydrangeas happen to be one of my very favorite flowers and I am lucky enough to grow them in our garden. We have Annabelle hydrangeas and I love seeing them in our yard, but I also love seeing them in my home.

How To Make A Low Hydrangea Centerpiece

Since I was adding this beauty to our table I figured I would show you how easy it was to make this centerpiece. Now that I have attended my friend Melissa’s DIY Floral Workshop I am constantly feeling inspired to create beautiful bouquets!

Creating Your Low Hydrangea Centerpiece

First, gather your supplies and find a good table to spread them out on. I cut 4 medium sized Annabelle hydrangeas from our garden and immediately got them into some water. Then I cut boxwood clippings from the bush in our front yard and aspen clippings from the tree in our backyard. TIP: Look around your yard to see what you have that would make pretty green filler or find pretty greenery at the grocery store!

Preparing Your Container

Whenever I make a low centerpiece I like to use tape to create a guide for my flower placement and to offer the flowers and greenery support. It’s a simple crisscross method that I find really helps! Just make sure you add your water before you use the tape!

The Hydrangeas

Once the grid was in place I prepared my Annabelle hydrangeas using my Alum trick and placed them in the soup tureen.

Add Your Greenery

Once you have your flowers in your container grab your greenery to fill in the gaps. I love using two different kinds of greenery because it adds more texture and is visually appealing!

Tuck and stuff your greenery into your vase until it feels full and looks balanced. Turn your centerpiece and look at it from multiple angles until you are satisfied.
