DIY Pink Hydrangea Grapevine Wreath

Sharing is caring!

Hey y’all! Laurie Anne here and today, I’m bringing you a sweet and simple pink hydrangea grapevine wreath tutorial—perfect for your front door, entryway, or any spot that needs a pop of spring color.

We’ll be talking all about my go-to “recipe” for wreath making, so you can easily swap out flowers and colors for any season.

Why You’ll Love This Spring Wreath

• Eye-Catching Hydrangeas: Pink hydrangeas bring a soft, romantic vibe.
• Pop of Green: Green ranunculus and lush greenery add contrast and make the pink really “pop.”
• Beginner-Friendly Recipe: Follow my systematic approach—what you do to one side, you do to the other—to keep your wreath balanced.
• Versatility: Swap out blooms or ribbons to create wreaths for summer, fall, or any occasion.

“This is a recipe, just like when you’re baking a cake—once you learn it, you can change up the colors and flowers for any season!” – Laurie

Materials You’ll Need for the Spring Hydrangea Wreath

1. 14-inch Grapevine Wreath
2. Hydrangea Bush (Pink)
   • Tip: If the bloom is too large, trim it down to make it fit the wreath proportionally.
3. Green Ranunculus
   • Look for varieties with hints of pink in the petals for a coordinated look.
4. Additional Pink Fillers (e.g., small buds, tiny rose-like accents)
5. Assorted Greenery
   • Leather Leaf Fern (for a lush base)
   • Eucalyptus Bush (lime green tips coordinate beautifully with the ranunculus)
   • Optional: Branches or Berry Sprigs for extra texture
6. Ribbons
   • 2.5-inch pink/striped ribbon
   • 1.5-inch green check ribbon
   • 1.5-inch pink Swiss dot ribbon
7. Floral Wire, Wooden Picks, or Steel Picks
   • Floral wire and picks help secure shorter stems and give added length.
8. Wire Cutters & Scissors
9. Hot Glue Gun (Optional)

How to Make a Spring Hydrangea Wreath

1. Attach the Bow First

• Make a Multi-Ribbon Bow:
  1. Begin with your 2.5-inch ribbon. Measure out your tails (about 12 inches) and make 6-inch loops.
  2. Layer your 1.5-inch ribbons next, creating matching loops at a slightly smaller length (5 or 6 inches).
  3. Keep track of which side has two loops and which side has one loop, so you can alternate.
  4. Secure the bow with floral wire—twist the wire, not the bow!
• Position the Bow on the Grapevine:
  • Place it in the center or a bit lower on your wreath, depending on your design preference.
  • Tighten the wire securely around the grapevine and trim any excess.

“Once the bow’s on, everything else is centered around that!” – Laurie

2. Build a Greenery Base

• Start with Leather Leaf Fern:
  • Trim it so it doesn’t extend more than about 3 inches beyond your wreath’s shape.
  • Insert around the bow in an X pattern or “crescent” style, framing the bow from above, below, and both sides.
• Add the Second Greenery (Eucalyptus):
  • Tuck eucalyptus stems among the fern to add texture.
  • Remember: What you do on one side, repeat on the other for balance.

3. Place the Hydrangeas

• Trim the Blooms if Needed:
  • If the hydrangea head is too large for a 14-inch wreath, snip off a few florets and rewire them if you like.
• Follow a Zig-Zag Pattern:
  • Insert one hydrangea on the left, one on the right, then one near the bottom, creating a diagonal flow.
  • Avoid lining them up at the same exact height—vary the placement for a natural look.

4. Fill in with Ranunculus & Pink Accents

• Green Ranunculus:
  • Look for “holes” or gaps with no color, and insert the ranunculus blooms there.
  • Space them so each bloom has its own spotlight (avoid crowding the florals).
• Pink Fillers & Buds:
  • Tuck smaller pink blossoms and filler flowers throughout to tie all the pinks together.
  • Use wooden or steel picks if you need extra stem length.

5. Add Texture with Branches or Berries

• Finish with Whimsical Touches:
  • Snip apart berry sprays or branches so you can place them more precisely.
  • Place them last so they stand out and give airy movement around the edges.

6. Final Touches

• Fill Any Holes: Step back and see if there are empty spots (where you can see through to the door). Add a bit of greenery or a small bloom.
• Fluff & Adjust Ribbon Tails: Curl or dovetail them. Trim if needed so they don’t overpower the flowers.
• Check the Back: Make sure everything is secure and no wires are scratching your door.

Styling & Display Tips

• Hanging Your Wreath: Use a sturdy wreath hanger or a ribbon loop.
• Indoor vs. Outdoor: If you hang it outside, try placing it under a covered porch to protect it from weather.
• Switching Seasons: Once you learn this “recipe,” swap out florals for summer geraniums or fall mums. Keep the same steps, just different colors!
