Eye-catching and elegant
This eye-catching arrangement starts with a vase about a foot tall. Put in two long pieces of bittersweet, about seven stems of hydrangeas, Versilia and Leonidas roses (with their stems kept in floral tubes) and several stems of red hypericum. A few pieces of hop vines add a finishing touch.

Flower, berry and rose hips wreath
Hydrangeas, bittersweet and rose hips enliven a grapevine wreath. Purchased bittersweet from a crafts store works well in a wreath like this and lasts longer than fresh vines.

Color burst
Combine dried and fresh flowers for a striking display. Light pink-and-green hydrangeas form a base for bold hot-pink peonies (dried with silica gel) and red bittersweet.
