Artificial Hydrangea

Faux hydrangeas are the perfect alternative to real flowers, removing many of the existing drawbacks. Not only do faux hydrangeas last longer, but they also require very little maintenance to look their best. With bendable stems, they can be moved into the perfect position without risk of damage, and will remain looking beautiful and wilt free once completed.

Suitable too for households with pets, or allergies, and perfect for all year styling, it’s a choice that makes sense.

At Floralsilk, we have one of the UK’s largest ranges available, and with nearly 50 years of industry experience in artificial flowers, our collections are also the most considered and realistic.

Hydrangeas are extremely versatile, which means they can suit any room they’re placed in. We like to use smaller, fewer hydrangeas in neutral colours in areas like the bedroom, such as our white hydrangea in cylinder vase, but opt for larger, vibrant combinations for living areas, like the lounge or console tables.

Of course, when using artificial hydrangeas, there’s no requirement to consider access to sunlight, so they can be placed in the perfect spot for easy styling.

At Floralsilk, you can find in-depth advice on building your first bouquet, as well as how to create a statement hydrangea arrangement. However, as a general rule, we recommend using uneven numbers of hydrangeas, set to different heights, and filling in foliage and even smaller flowers around them.

Bend the stems to fit the vase you’re placing them into, and gently tweak the flowers until they look perfect.

Hydrangeas are versatile, but common combinations include styling with eucalyptus or other seasonal foliage. It pairs with most other florals with ease, so consider flowers like roses, tulips, peonies, or ranunculus.

Given the nature of artificial flowers, these pairings can also change seasonally. Swap out eucalyptus for a metallic fern in winter, for example, or a berry branch in autumn.

Floralsilk has one of the most extensive ranges of hydrangeas available in the UK, which includes some of the following:

• Classic Hydrangea: One of the nation's favourite flowers, our classic hydrangeas are beautifully realistic, with a range of colours available to suit any space.
• French Hydrangea: With light, blousy petals, this faux hydrangea has beautiful variation in tones across its richly coloured leaves.
• Luxury Faux Hydrangea: The more seasonal variants of our favourite hydrangea, which come in deep, rich colours and are perfect for winter arrangements.
• Autumn Hydrangeas: With muted colours and a dried look, our autumn hydrangeas look like they belong in a painting.
• Mini Hydrangeas: Shorter-stemmed hydrangeas, perfect for shorter vases.
• Paniculata Hydrangea: The other common variant of hydrangeas, the artificial paniculata hydrangea adds height as well as volume, and our range features four classic hydrangea colours.
