My hand bouquet

As usual, I won't start to panic until the very last minute. That is when my level of efficiency goes up by multiples and the stress level too. That is also when I will start to want to have my own ways, which I will say, I always manage to, somehow by hook or by crook. Too bad, that is the life of a procastinator...

Is only less than a month left and I have not chosen what I want to wear or even my hand bouquet. Thankfully, his sister has kindly agreed to help me with the hand bouquet and now my task is to think of what flowers I want. Of course, I should try to think of something simple so that it won't eat up too much of his sister's time. I should be kind and grateful to someone who is kind to me, right?

I am trying hard to steer away from the conventional...... i.e. the roses, Calla lilies and tulips. But I won't be surprised if I ended up with blue roses with hydrangeas or blue tulips...since blue has always been my favourite colour......hahaha

I chanced upon hydrangeas and realised that they are actually very beautiful flowers, found mainly in Eastern Asia, notably China, Korea and Japan. There are basically 2 types - the mophead and the lacecap. I like it because of its cute large round flowerheads, because of its simple and elegance.

As a hand bouquet, hydrangeas may not stand out on its own. But because of its versatility, it complements a lot of flower arrangements, whether simple or complex and will in fact add to the elegance to any flowers. This is the uniqueness of hydrangeas. Check out how the unique hydrangeas bring out the elegance and beauty of the roses. Gorgeous, right?

Antique Blue Hydrangea Cream Rose

(White roses as in pure, virtue, sincerity and spiritual love. It glorifies a love that is unaware of the temptations of the flesh and resides only in the soul. It is the "flower of light", symbolises everlasting love.)

Antique Purple Hydrangea Rose

After all the searches, I decided that I want to have white roses with blue/purple hydrangeas. White roses as in everlasting and spiritual love, pure and virtue complement by the versatile, simple yet elegant hydrangeas. I feel that hydrangeas symbolises me. As the name Sharon suggests - simple is elegant. It doesn't have to be the main cast, its ultimate role is to fill up any loopholes and add wholesome to the thing. This is the role of hydrangeas and that is me.
