Hydrangea bouquets kept in water up to the time of use to keep them fresh, Leave an inch or two of stem exposed to get them into the water w/out getting your ribbon wet.









Looks like they kept the hydrangea boutonnieres in moist baggies up to the time of actual use.








Hydrangea boutonnieres were pieces of the hydrangea flower head assembled together and tied with florist tape.

Kacie and Ty Mitchell, November 1st Wedding 2008
Hello Jim,I wanted to touch base with you and send you some pictures of the flowers we received from you for our wedding. We loved them and it made our arrangements absolutely gorgeous. I will tell you one thing, maybe its common knowledge, but it took me about an hour of struggling to figure it out, but you should remind or warn those that are buying the flowers to also purchase cutting sheers. I had scissors at first then a razor blade and finally someone suggested garden sheers. I know it probably makes since to most people, but it would have reduced my time by 1/2 had I had those in the beginning. Other than that, every part of buying the flowers from you was amazing!








Immersing the flowers under water

When the flowers got in they we in need of fluffing and water and once we got them in the tub they looked great.

It was so easy to arrange the flowers and I am so happy with the results of everything. We had an absolutely amazing wedding and everyone commented on how much they loved the decor and the flowers. Thank you again, I hope you enjoy the pictures, Take care,Kacie and Ty Mitchell November 1, 2008 Wedding

Antonina Wedding 1-03-09













This wedding proved to us at www.weddinghydrangea.com/ that we could provide our hydrangea blooms to our customers at this time of year. It also showed us that we were able to have the flowers arrive in beautiful condition even in the winter snows.
Antonina was wonderful to send us these pictures of her wedding and for the following testimonial.

Hello Mr. Hipple,
I wanted to thank you for the beautiful hydrangeas. They were the perfect touch to our winter wedding. I know it was the end of the season for you and I so appreciate you going ahead and sending us the order.
We used our pantry to organize the flowers and as instructed cut the hydrangeas under water and soaked them until we were ready to start arranging bouquets. I have had hydrangeas in the house before but never thought to give them a good bath. What a difference that made.
The flowers were amazing and remained fresh and vibrant days after the wedding. Thank you for adding the sparkle to make my dream wedding even more memorable. Regards,Antonina

















(preping the flowers to be used in the wedding.)

Hello Mr. Hipple,

I do appreciate you sending the hydrangeas despite the snow. They were so lovely and added the perfect touch to the wedding. We had so many compliments and highly recommended you to our friends.
Thank you again. I can't wait to order hydrangeas from you again.

Andrea Bat Mitzvah 09/06/08

Hi Jim,
The Bat Mitzvah is over and the room looked beautiful with the hydrangea arrangement. On Friday morning, 2 boxes of flowers arrived, the ones you sent Thursday pm and the box that was lost over Indianapolis for 24 hours! To be honest, once they were opened, you couldn't tell the difference. The flowers in the delayed box looked good, so the extra time in transit did no harm.
The flowers that arrived on Thurs am, hydrated overnight in pails (see pictures). On Friday morning, while we waited for the other shipment, we started to make the arrangements with the ones we had. When the other arrived we unpacked, cut and put them in the pails and misted them heavily.
We only had time to let them hydrate for 4 hours before we made the remaining arrangements. Everyone commented on how beautiful they were (pictures of the room and arrangements attached).
Thanks so much for your wonderful customer service. I'm sure you could hear the panic in my voice on Thursday when only one box arrived. I had visions of driving around the neighborhoods in the dark of night stealing hydrangeas off of everyone's shrubs!! You were very generous to rush out another box.
In the end, we had a lovely day and the flowers gave the room an elegant and sophisticated look.
Thanks again, Andrea

Emily Wedding 07/19/08

Jim,

I just wanted to thank you so much for making my wedding unique and beautiful with the help of your hydrangeas. The flowers were perfect. The colors were exactly what I wanted and they made great arrangements and bouquets. I will definitely recommend anyone to purchase hydrangeas from you. The price was very affordable and a lot more reasonable than buying from a local flower shop even with me being in Tennessee and your hydrangea farm in California. The quality, size, and color was better than what I saw at any flower shop and I was able to use the money saved on other wedding expenses. Thank you again and may God bless you and your family. Emily Winfree, TN

Heather's Wedding

I ordered my wedding flowers from you for our June 28th wedding and I just wanted to tell you thank you sooooo much. they were beautiful. I was a little leary since Colorado is so dry and hydrangeas seem to be a very touchy flower. Anyway they turned out beautiful, here's a pic of the boquets that were made from them.

Laura & Nate Wedding June 26, 2008

Jim,
I can't begin to tell you how pleased we were when opening our boxes upon delivery. The flowers looked amazing and stayed beautiful until the day of our wedding. The colors were extraordinary and they were exactly what we had hoped for. The pictures can't do justice for how brilliant they were.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.Laura & Nate Connell
