Greenery for centerpieces

Harleigh, on March 27, 2019 at 11:07 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 9
Hey! I’m trying to figure out the best way to do my centerpieces. We want some type of greenery/garland looking pieces. I REALLY wanted eucalyptus but I have no idea where to get it that won’t cost an arm and a leg. I’m open to ideas of real plants or fake! Thank you!! ❤️

    I just ordered eucalyptus from Amazon to put in my flower balls for some foliage. They were relatively cheap for the amount! Also I got some from Michaels craft store, they are having their lowest prices sale starting on Friday; all floral stems are 60% off!

    Hey Harleigh! I really love the look of greenery at centerpieces! There is so much you can do with it and so many different looks you can achieve. To me, the draw of artificial plants is that you can have everything prepared in advance and don’t have to worry about any of them wilting if they are sitting in the heat all day.

    That being said, real plants look absolutely beautiful so it’s entirely up to you, especially if you are DIYing them!

    I had a look on Pinterest for some inspiration pictures for you.greenery

    Depending on budget, you could get fake ones and fond ways to make them look real. I have no clue if it works but something maybe like spraying oil on them so they aren't dull and matte, or the hot glue dots on flowers like water dropplets!

    Sam's Club has the best prices for greenery.

    The eucalyptus is not super cheap, so I am using the ruscus.

    I'm going to lay out the branches loosely and add artificial flowers. That way I don't have to worry about the flowers if I set up the tables early.

    Watch for coupons and sales at Michael's and Hobby Lobby. When they go on sale, they are pretty cheap!

    Have you decided what you will do for your centerpieces? Will you use real or fake plants?
