The Ultimate DIY Guide to a Lush Fall Hydrangea Wreath (Even Beginners Can Nail It!)

Gather Supplies You’ll need: a grapevine wreath base (14–18"), dried or fresh hydrangea blooms, floral wire or hot glue gun, scissors or garden shears, and optional ribbon for hanging.

Choose Your Hydrangeas Pick warm fall shades—dried blooms in green, burgundy, cream, or dusty pink work best. If using fresh ones, let them dry for a few days before assembling.

Trim the Stems Cut each hydrangea stem to about 4–6 inches long. You’ll want enough stem to tuck into the wreath base securely.

Create a Layout Before gluing or wiring, lay out your flowers on the wreath to get a feel for the placement and balance.

Start with the Largest Blooms Insert the biggest hydrangeas first. Space them evenly around the wreath, pushing the stems into the grapevine base.

Fill in the Gaps Add medium and smaller blooms between the large ones, fluffing them to create fullness.

Secure the Flowers Use floral wire or hot glue to attach each bloom firmly, especially if hanging outdoors.

Add Fall Accents Optional: tuck in faux berries, eucalyptus, wheat, or mini pumpkins for a seasonal touch.
