Floral expert Alison Fleck of Bloom Culture Flowers shares her top picks for greenery varieties for DIY wedding flower arranging!

This greenery is a beautiful green color and has a bit of a waxy feel to the broad leaves. It feels very “greenery” if that makes sense in that it has “typical” leaves and can come in two sizes, regular and tips.

Salal/Lemon Leaf

This is a beautiful deep green color and the leaves can look a bit shiny. Has great length and comes 5 branches/stems to a bunch.

Italian Ruscus

Similar to Italian Ruscus but it’s more like a line flower in that the rounded leaves come off one single stem/branch instead of having multiple offshoots to use for other things (like boutonnieres and corsages). 

Israeli Ruscus

This is a very classic greenery. You get a lot of bang for your bunch. It looks more like a fern and does well out of water. Large bunches with 10+ stems per bunch.

Leather Leaf

This is a very light and airy greenery known for its feathery appearance. Comes in a typical growers bunch.

Plumosus

This is a beautiful deep green color and has a bit of a waxy feel to the leaves. Comes in a typical growers bunch.

Nagi

Seeded Euc is beautiful and creates a lot of texture!
