Eucalyptus Alternatives

I’m buying real eucalyptus from the grocery store & just laying it out. Having a florist make you garland is pretty expensive. But, just laying it out myself will be about $6 a table.

View Quoted Comment How many branches are you using per table? And what kind of eucalyptus?

I'm not sure about cost, but we used italian ruscus to go down our tables instead of eucalyptus. It may be worth looking into!

View Quoted Comment A mixture of silver dollar and seeded. Im not 100% sure how many branches - but, 1 pack of them from our grocery store is enough for a table.

View Quoted Comment What grocery store is this? Bc this sounds great!

I also wanted Eucalyptus but it was so expensive for leaves... I recommend Costco greenery. There's only one option but I think it's gorgeous. It's a mix of a few different things.

I am planning same.


I was considering ordering it from sam’s club I think it was 8 bunches for $60 My florist told me she could also sell it by bunch but $40 per bunch. There are also websites cheaper you can buy it from I haven’t from but found info on called garland guy.com and bloomsbythebox.com

View Quoted Comment I’ve researched those options, sams seems even cheaper than the last time I checked. But I’d still need the other supplies to make it into a garland and put it together myself. Not a bad option, but I’m not much of a DIY bride, I’m pretty bad at any creative project

Not sure where you live but maybe check craft stores? I live in Phoenix and I just found out there is a floral wholesale store in town that you don't have to be a florist to go to and it is called floral mart. I haven't been there yet but on website claim to have all you need for DIY.
