Best DIY Wedding Flower Greeneries 

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. This comes in a typical growers bunch.

Greenery 1: Salal/Lemon Leaf

The deep green color is ideal for some people and the length can be ideal for cascade bouquets, arches/arbors, table greenery, and more! Does well out of water.

Greenery 2: 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). Comes 5-8 a bunch.

Greenery 3: 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.

Greenery 4: Leather Leaf
