Something with height to support a pot for the porch?

Friends visited yesterday and brought with them a hydrangea from M&S. I think it is going to have white flowers, because right now it looks very much like one I have on the patio which is green in bud and opens out into the big mach flowers.

Problem is that the borders which would suit a hydrangea are already pretty full, so I thought I would put it on my porch. Porch is open at the front, but covered (it’s like an arch). I think it would need to be elevated by at least a foot, maybe two, so I had in mind some kind of stand that I could put it in that would be suitable for outdoor use.

Any ideas where I could get one please that would be weatherproof? My front door is painted dark grey, and it has two white painted panels to each side. I have a massive black ceramic pot outside the potluck, so ideally I’d like a ceramic pot with a grey/white pattern, I think.

Saw some nice metallic silver grey pots at Tesco. Turn it upside down and put plant on top

That’s such a good idea about buying two and turning one upside down to put the second on top. I am going to do that! I just need to make sure they’re sturdy or I can see one of us, or someone delivering one of the many things I order online, giving it a knock and the whole thing tumbling.
