💡5 Things Every Bride Should Know Before Ordering

  1. Always order 10–15% more than you think you need. Mistakes happen, arrangements take more than expected, and extra eucalyptus dries beautifully as a keepsake. You'll never regret having extra — you will regret running short the morning of your wedding.
  2. Do a practice run 4–6 weeks before the wedding. Order a small test batch and practice your arrangements. This tells you exactly how much you need and gives you real confidence going into wedding week. The single most impactful thing DIY brides can do.
  3. Scent-sensitive guests? Choose Parvifolia or Willow. These two varieties have the lowest fragrance intensity. Perfect for indoor venues, guests with allergies or asthma. Baby Blue is stunning but the most fragrant — use it outdoors or in ventilated spaces.
  4. Receive on Wednesday or Thursday for a Saturday wedding. Professional florist standard: 2–3 days of hydration time ensures your eucalyptus is at peak condition. Trim stems at 45°, place in clean cool water, keep away from direct sunlight and fruit.
  5. Mix two varieties for the most professional look. Silver Dollar + Seeded is the most popular combination. Add Willow for flowing movement. Three varieties is the maximum — more creates visual noise.
