Tableware
-
One of the easiest ways to incorporate the use of hydrangea blossoms into a party is to find tableware with the blossoms. Most hydrangea blossoms come in shades of white, blue or purple, and most tableware will have those colors. Party supply companies may stock the hydrangea-themed tableware, but the best place to find such specific tableware is through companies that sell items for weddings. Look for cups, plates, napkins and tablecloths with the flowers. You can also use tableware in white, lavender or blue if you cannot find anything with the flowers.
Hydrangea Flowers
-
No hydrangea-themed party is complete without the flowers themselves. Hydrangeas are large, bunch-style flowers that have a rounded shape. The flowers have a pleasant fragrance and look elegant. Ask local florists if they carry fresh hydrangeas, or you can visit a hobby store to find artificial hydrangea blossoms and stems. Some stores may carry artificial hydrangea bushes in large pots for dramatic flair. Place flowers around the party venue to add continuity to the theme.

Food
-
Another party good that cannot be neglected in a hydrangea-themed party is the food. Purchase a cake with hydrangea blossoms frosted or painted onto the cake. You can also make hydrangea blossoms on cupcakes with white or purple frosting. Use green licorice as the flower stems. Decorate the other food at the party with more hydrangea blossoms.
Invitations
-
Use traditional invitations to invite people to your party. You can print invitations shaped like a hydrangea blossom, or simply use a standard rectangle or square invitation that has the flowers printed onto the paper. You can also create e-invitations with the same theme if you want to be less formal. As with the tableware, the best resource for finding hydrangea-themed invitations is a printer that caters to weddings.
