Plus, that fresh, herbaceous scent is an unexpected sensory bonus your guests will love.

Our Favorite Eucalyptus Bouquets
From greenery-only arrangements to lush mixed bouquets bursting with blooms, here’s how real brides have incorporated eucalyptus into their wedding day florals.
Purple Drama with Anemones
If you want a bouquet with serious wow factor, take notes. White anemones with their striking black centers pop against deep purple tulips and violet stock, while silver dollar eucalyptus weaves throughout for that organic touch. The rustic barn backdrop makes the jewel tones sing. This is moody, romantic, and absolutely unforgettable.
All-Eucalyptus Minimalism
Who says you need flowers? This bride went full minimalist with a bouquet of nothing but silver dollar eucalyptus, and honestly? It’s giving forest nymph energy in the best way. The soft blush gown, whimsical half-up hairstyle, and that dreamy greenery arch create something ethereal. Perfect for the bride who wants organic simplicity without sacrificing style.
Lavender Garden Romance
Soft, dreamy, and utterly romantic. This lavender-palette bouquet mixes mauve roses, purple stock, blue scabiosa, white peonies, and even a few succulents — all tied together with generous sprays of silver dollar eucalyptus. The bride’s classic lace sleeves and pearl necklace give it a timeless feel. If you’re going for garden party elegance, this is your mood board.
Blue Thistle and Succulent Chic
We love when bouquets match the wedding party attire without being too matchy-matchy, and this one nails it. The dusty blue bridesmaid dress pairs perfectly with spiky blue thistle, while white ranunculus and hydrangea keep things soft. Notice the mix of eucalyptus varieties here — silver dollar and seeded eucalyptus working together for maximum texture. That little succulent tucked in? Chef’s kiss.
Blush and Cream Garden Style
This is what happens when a garden explodes in the most gorgeous way possible. Creamy white dahlias anchor the arrangement while blush and dusty rose blooms (we’re seeing dahlias and garden roses) add warmth. Feathery pink astilbe brings movement, and eucalyptus cascades beautifully at every angle. It’s lush, romantic, and feels like it was just gathered from an English cottage garden.
Boho Ceremony Altar Dreams
Goals, right here. This outdoor ceremony setup features a wooden frame draped in romantic lace with cascading eucalyptus garlands — and the bride’s look is equally swoon-worthy. Her coral and peach bouquet pops against all that green, and that floral crown ties everything together. If you’re planning a boho outdoor wedding, save this one immediately.
Rustic Birch Arch with Pink Hydrangeas
Sometimes the ceremony décor deserves its own moment. This birch branch arch is bursting with hot pink hydrangeas, peachy roses, and long trails of eucalyptus that give it that wild, just-picked look. It’s rustic but still polished — the perfect backdrop for exchanging vows in a garden or woodland setting. Your guests won’t be able to stop taking photos.
FAQs
What does eucalyptus symbolize in a wedding bouquet?
Eucalyptus is associated with protection, abundance, and healing — not a bad trio of meanings for the start of a marriage. Beyond symbolism, it’s also known for its fresh, calming scent, which can actually help soothe wedding-day nerves. Practical and meaningful? We’ll take it.
Is eucalyptus an affordable option for wedding flowers?
Generally, yes! Eucalyptus is one of the more budget-friendly greenery options because it’s widely available year-round and a little goes a long way. If you’re working with a tight floral budget, using eucalyptus as the base of your bouquet and adding just a few statement blooms can give you a lush look without the lush price tag.
Can you make an all-eucalyptus bouquet without any flowers?
Absolutely — and it looks incredible. An all-greenery bouquet is perfect for minimalist brides or anyone who wants that organic, just-foraged vibe. Mix different eucalyptus varieties (silver dollar, seeded, willow) for texture, or keep it simple with one type for a clean, modern look. Bonus: greenery-only bouquets tend to hold up better throughout a long wedding day.
What flowers pair best with eucalyptus?
Eucalyptus plays well with almost everything, but some standout pairings include garden roses, dahlias, peonies, ranunculus, and anemones for romantic vibes. For something with more texture, try blue thistle, astilbe, or stock. The silvery-green tones complement both warm palettes (blush, peach, coral) and cool tones (lavender, dusty blue, white) equally well.
How do you keep eucalyptus fresh in a bouquet?
Eucalyptus is pretty hardy, but a few tricks help it last longer. Keep your bouquet in water until you need it, store it somewhere cool (not in direct sunlight or a hot car), and give the stems a fresh cut if they’ll be sitting for a while. Some brides even mist their bouquets lightly before the ceremony. And good news: even if it dries out a bit, eucalyptus still looks beautiful — it just takes on a more muted, vintage vibe.
