Tips for Working with Eucalyptus
To ensure your eucalyptus looks its best, order it a few days in advance and store it in a cool, dark place. Re-cut the stems at an angle before placing them in water to promote hydration. Eucalyptus is relatively low-maintenance, but avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause it to dry out quickly.
Creating Stunning Centerpieces
For centerpieces, consider using a mix of eucalyptus varieties to create depth and texture. Combine Silver Dollar Eucalyptus with Seeded Eucalyptus and a few sprigs of Baby Blue Eucalyptus for a visually appealing arrangement. Add candles or other decorative elements to enhance the overall ambiance. To design based on guest count, see wedding reception centerpieces by guest count.
Designing Beautiful Bouquets
Eucalyptus can be used as both a focal point and a filler in bridal bouquets. A bouquet featuring Willow Eucalyptus cascading down with a few roses adds a romantic touch. Secure the stems tightly with floral tape and cover with ribbon for a polished look.
Eucalyptus Garlands and Installations
Garlands made of eucalyptus are a versatile way to decorate tables, arches, and other event spaces. Use floral wire to attach the eucalyptus stems to a base, creating a lush and flowing design. For larger installations, consider using a combination of eucalyptus and other greenery to add depth and dimension.
Eucalyptus Alternatives and Combinations
While eucalyptus is a fantastic choice, it's always good to have alternatives in mind. Consider using olive branches, ferns, or other greenery to complement or replace eucalyptus in your designs. Combining eucalyptus with roses, peonies, or other flowers can create a stunning and unique look.
