This is the perfect time of year to start creating wreaths that you can use all year long! This easy Hydrangea wreath is the perfect design in between holidays to keep your front door looking fresh and beautiful. I love the bright white Hydrangea flowers that are the perfect compliment to the cute daisy ribbon with a black and white gingham pattern.
The mixed greenery on this piece is stunning and the variety of leaves is sure to satisfy everyone. You know I love a good berry stem and these are no exceptions! They add so much dimension with just the right touch of whimsy. Let’s get to having fun with flowers!
Easy Hydrangea Wreath
The title says it all for this project because it is definitely easy for anyone to make, no matter what your skill level may be. There are a few design techniques that we use for this wreath that can be recreated in almost any piece you make or sell. We start by adding greenery around the perimeter to create a foundation and add lots of depth. Once you’ve placed your greenery, you’ll know where the best place to put your Hydrangeas and berries. Don’t forget to always “shake hands” with each piece to bring the blossoms and leaves to the front and highlight the quality stems you are using.
A neutral color palette with beautiful creams and whites is perfect for wreaths and swags that you can have up all year round. Flowers like Hydrangeas and Magnolias are also great florals that will work throughout the year. I love adding a bow with black ribbon to a white wreath!
This look is so elegant and polished that and brings it to a new level. This is one of those projects that may look complicated, but once you learn a few techniques and tips, with the right quality greenery and florals, then anyone can do it. Let me show you how!

Ingredients
1.5″ Daisies and Bees on Black White Gingham Ribbon on 10 Yard Roll
2.5″ Black with Black White Gingham Edge Ribbon on 10 Yard Roll
Directions
- Start with a 14” grapevine wreath base and add a wire hanger onto the back. Grab two of your mixed greenery sprays and cut the large stem off and separate into smaller stems.
- Dip the end in hot glue and add a stem of greenery onto the top. Cover any hot glue with Spanish moss.
- Continue adding mixed greenery stems along with the left side spacing a few inches apart. Don’t forget to add a couple coming from the inner circle towards the center.
- “Shake hands” with a white Hydrangea berry spray to have each stem and flower facing forward. Tear the individual sections off for three stems.
- Hot glue a Hydrangea section into the top between the greenery. Add the second Hydrangea stem just underneath the next mixed greenery, leaving an open space for a bow on your base.
- Do the same thing with another Hydrangea berry spray and separate it into three sections. Add a stem to the bottom of your base. Leave a few pieces off to the side.
- Add your black and white with gingham daisy ribbon bow to the left side of your wreath using the cable tie into the grapevine. Take the long tails and incorporate them into the back of the greenery. Curl up the remaining tails around your fingers.
- Use the rest of your mixed greenery stems and hot glue near the bow coming from the bottom and one from the top of your bow. Add a berry stem from the center of the bow and fill in any holes with the remaining greenery.
