What Does Eucalyptus Symbolize?
Eucalyptus traditionally symbolizes strength, abundance, and protection. In fact, many cultures burn this plant to ward off negative energy. (In fact, the etymology of this name means "well-concealed" from the Greek words eu "well" and kaluptos "conceal.") This popular wedding flower is versatile in its design, which is why many couples choose it for their big day.
How to Keep Eucalyptus Fresh for Wedding
One great thing about eucalyptus is that they can withstand being out of water for a while, which is why they're such a versatile wedding decoration. Here are some tips for keeping them even fresher before your big day.
Keep It In The Shower
While this tip may sound strange, many florists hang eucalyptus from their shower heads to keep them hydrated and longer-lasting. Just tie a few strings around your eucalyptus stems and then hang them upside down in your shower.
Try a Glycerine Solution
You can preserve your eucalyptus by mixing one part glycerine solution with two parts boiling water. Once the water cools, pour it into a container with your eucalyptus stems for a longer freshness.
Place It In a Vase
Like any plant, it's good to immediately place it in a vase full of fresh water. Just make sure you're trimming the ends and any stems that would fall below the water.
Types of Eucalyptus
There are actually hundreds of types of eucalyptus, but there are a few popular varieties for weddings in particular. You may see silver dollar eucalyptus, baby blue eucalyptus, parvifolia eucalyptus or willow eucalyptus in wedding decor and bouquets. Be sure to look up the different types, since they can come in many shapes and sizes, to see which would best suit your wedding needs.
