Elegant Hydrangea Wedding Invitations

Green flowers are unusual, and along with green orchids, the green hydrangea is often chosen to add green to bouquets for the bridal party and to decorate reception tables.  Now brides have the choice to include pretty green hydrangeas on their wedding stationery too!

Two types of hydrangeas can be green.  The tall, somewhat pointy flower of the Limelight variety creates a subtle light green.  The other green flowers come from the macrophylla variety which starts out blue and fades to a pretty green in Fall.  The macrophyllas are the ones used for the green stationery in our BlueHyd wedding store.

A popular design in our shop is the round, light blue image of the "Blue Moon" hydrangea.  It's not a variety name, but the name we gave to this big blue bloom.  After all, a store full of hydrangea stationery must have a way to differentiate between designs.

Here I am showing the horizontal, flat invitation, but the line includes vertical ones too. You may like the set that features this flower as a blue hydrangea border.

Towards the end of summer, the pretty blue flowers of the hydrangea shrub will begin to turn unusual colors. As far as I know, there is no way to control their colors as they begin to die. This long lasting flower looks beautiful even at the end of it's growth cycle as it turns green, pink and even purple.

The "Vintage" lavender flower, shown here on wedding paper, was once a pretty blue, but after a summer of growing, it began to fade to this lovely light blueish purple color.  Hints of the blue still show in the center of the petals and the template text is colored to match.

The example text has both sets of parents doing the inviting, but that can be changed.  Every item in our shop has a "contact" button beneath, and please don't hesitate to ask for help.

I'll bet that you could guess that roses are the number one flower used for weddings, but did you know that according to a list of top ten wedding flowers by The Knot, that hydrangeas are number five?

It's really not very surprising that the big bloom of the hydrangea is popular for special events.  Besides being one of the largest single blooms around, it's available in the most gorgeous and unique colors, including blue and light green.

The hydrangea flower is excellent for adding to the reception tables for the simple reason that it has little to no fragrance so it won't interfere with the savory smells of the food being served.  One single bloom can fill a vase quite nicely too.

The hydrangea is often grown to add loads of blue flowers to a garden.  With the large size and bright colors, this perennial is most often chosen as a central focus to a yard, either for a hedgerow, or along the front and sides of a house.

Acidic soil creates a bright blue flower in some varieties, and the flower used in the "Sky Blue" hydrangea stationery was the most gorgeous blue I'd ever seen.  No color enhancement was used to make this wedding set, the flower was truly a beautiful blue all on it's own.

Often I hear from people who read my blogs or contact me for wedding stationery and they mention that a relative, usually a grandmother, loved the hydrangea flower and had grown them in her yard.  Because of the sweet sentiment of using a much loved flower, many brides choose this big bloom to decorated for their special day.  The flower may be thought of as old fashioned, but it is simply gorgeous and very appropriate for weddings as it's one of the best true blue flowers available.

Pretty green hydrangea flowers are very popular with brides and this card incorporates them on a note card with personalization.

The light green card shown is blank inside and can therefore be used as either a wedding announcement thank you card to guests for wedding gifts.

Puffy white hydrangea flowers make a pretty background and also decorate the side of this modern, flat card for a White Wedding. 

The black text is old fashioned looking.  We used "Fraktur" that is similar to the old English text.  We can change it to a more traditional text for you.

Recycled white paper is shown, but there are many special paper types to choose from.
