Flowers and plant arrangements
When we create a Hydrangea wreath, fresh or dried, we need a lot of blossoms to get the full, massive look. Very easy to make with a fresh floral foam wreath frame, you push all the blossoms into the foam and finish it off with a bow. Hydrangeas are not very long-lasting flowers, but cut short and arranged together tied, they will last for a week and make a beautiful center wreath. You could also let your hydrangeas dry and enjoy it for a bit longer as a dried wreath. On the other hand, you can use the orchid blossoms from one cymbidia risp and make a very woodsy, natural arrangement, with only a few hazel or tamarack branches all twisted together, moss and dried leaves. Orchids and natural elements as bark, go very well together. Many species of orchids grow on trees in tropical rain forests to receive the light they need. The contrast between delicate and rustic-natural is very attractive in this very easy put together arrangement.
