Seeded Eucalyptus
Seeded eucalyptus is a beloved textural greenery, perfect for fresh flower arrangements. Its versatile nature makes it a favorite for weddings, centerpieces, garlands, and countless other designs. The delicate clusters of seeds and soft green leaves add depth and texture, effortlessly complementing nearly any theme.
With its sturdy stems, seeded eucalyptus is easy to work with and shape to fit your design. Plus, it thrives in fresh water, ensuring your arrangements stay vibrant and beautiful.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus grows in a wide range of forms, from majestic trees to compact shrubs. While I’m not an expert, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned from Rachel Wiygul. She has generously shared some of her stunning wedding and event designs featuring eucalyptus in all its beauty.
In the images below, Rachel used a variety of eucalyptus types to bring her designs to life. While I won’t attempt to name every single one (just to be safe!), I can confidently point out Silver Dollar, Parvula, and Seeded eucalyptus among the beautiful arrangements she created.
Dried Eucalyptus
Prior to getting to watch Rachel work with fresh flowers, my only experience with these stems was the dried version that you can get at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, etc. Those bundles are available in all sorts of colors that aren’t natural, but still pretty.
A Sampling of Rachel’s Creations using Eucalyptus
Sunday School Brunch
A few years ago, Rachel came to my rescue by helping with decorations for my Sunday School brunch. We used some gorgeous Seeded Eucalyptus to create nine table arrangements and a centerpiece for the food table. Rachel even designed a beautiful arrangement in a clear vase as a template for me to copy. Thank you, Rachel, for your creativity and guidance—it made all the difference!
I also learned a clever trick from her for transporting nine vases filled with water to the church in just one trip. She showed me how to cut an “X” in a box and place the vases inside to keep them secure. Such a simple yet brilliant idea!
Ribbon
I had thought about tying some ribbon around the vases and making a bow, but Rachel had a much better idea. She suggested simply wrapping a piece of ribbon around the vase without a bow. This way, there wouldn’t be an obvious front or back, which was perfect since the vases were going on round tables.
We measured the ribbon to fit each vase, wrapped it around, and secured it with sticky tape. It was quick, simple, and effective—another great trick I learned from Rachel!
