We have collected a variety of ideas for beautiful autumn decorations with hydrangeas that will transform your home into a dreamy flower paradise.

Autumn decoration with a difference – with fresh and dried flowers
Hydrangeas are one of themost beautiful summer flowersand enchant with their delicate, fluffy flower umbels. They bloom from early July to August, some species even until September. The inflorescences wilt slowly and look extremely decorative even after the flowering period. They initially turn a pale green, which in most varieties turns into reddish tones by autumn.
If you want to integrate the beautiful flowers of hydrangeas into your autumn decorations at home, you can choose between two variants. You can either dry the flower bushes or buy artificial flowers from the craft store. The first option for decoration looks more natural, but the second is much longer lasting and can easily be used next year.
The spherical flowers of the hydrangea are perfect for a decoration with rural charm. In contrast to the summer decoration, which is primarily characterized by fresh colors, the autumn decoration with hydrangeas comes in light green to brownish shades. They convey a nostalgic flair in the interior and can be beautifully complemented by other dried flowers and shrubs. Below we have manyIdeas for fall decorationscollected that put the popular flowers in the spotlight.
How to dry hydrangeas?
If you would like to tinker with the beautiful umbels of the hydrangeas and create original autumn decorations, you can dry them in advance. This can be done in different ways, although hanging is perhaps the most effective option. In this way, the flowers slowly dry and turn beautiful shades. However, if you want to keep the original color of the flower, you can use glycerin. This way you can preserve the summery charm of the popular flowers.
The first step is to cut out the flower along with the stem (approx. 20 centimeters). This should happen when it is at its most beautiful, i.e. shortly after the peak of flowering. Then you can choose between the following three methods:
1. Method:Place the flowers together with the stem in a glass vase with water. No more refilling with water so that the flowers dry out completely. This way they don't wilt but dry evenly. The disadvantage is that the flowers usually lose their color, but this can actually be an advantage for a beautiful autumn decoration.
2. Method:The procedure is almost the same as the first method. To ensure that the color is retained, you should add some glycerin to the water in a 1:2 ratio.
3. Method:Tie the stems with the flowers towards the ground on a string and hang them up. Allow the hydrangeas to dry out in a dark, airy place. The process takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Afterwards, however, you should be careful with the dried flowers because they usually become more brittle.
