• How far in advance of the wedding day can I start working/arrange the hydrangeas?
  Bouquets and arrangements should be prepared as close as possible to the actual wedding/ceremony and kept refrigerated and under water until ready for use. Water picks (little water vials on the ends of the stems) will prolong the life of bouquets (your florist will have them), and any arrangements should be prepared with thoroughly soaked floral foam. Make sure to avoid direct sunlight on the flowers. If our hydrangea care instructions are followed, your hydrangeas should survive your wedding day without any problems, and if returned to water or refrigeration, generally for several more days thereafter.
  
  
• Do you guarantee my specific color shade or can you match an exact color type?
  No. With Hydrangeas this is impossible to do. There are many factors which can influence the colors when hydrangeas are grown like Soil pH, variety, nutrients (a pink hydrangea given the right nutrients will be blue or purple hydrangea), weather conditions etc. Mother Nature affects the color's intensity, so the flower's tone may vary from the image shown. 
  
  
• What is the size on the flower heads or the lenght on the stem?
  The average size of our hydrangea flowers are 5-6 inches in diameter, however, some hydrangea heads may be as small as 4 inches in diameter and some hydrangea heads as large as 8” in diameter. The average stem length is between 18-24” tall.
  
  
• How are the hydrangeas getting water during shipment?
  Waterbags are attached to each stem to keep the hydrangeas hydrated during shipping. Please see an image here.
