Looking to make my own eucalyptus garland for 10 long tables. Each table will have about 4 ft. of garland. I am mixing seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus.

Has anyone DYI'ed their own garland? How many bunches and/or stems did you use for each foot? Where did you order the eucalyptus? The cheapest I am seeing is a bunch consisting of about 10 stems for $10 each. I just don't know how much I will need!

    This is the look I'm going for, I'm curious how many per table did you use? This looks like a longer table. I have 8 foot long tables and I was thinking only 3 to 4 stems per table but I don't want it to look too sparse. We will have floral arrangements and candles in between the stems as well.

    I ordered 10 bunches total and used them on five rows of tables you see pictured and had plenty. I don't know how many went on each table, because of course I was busy getting ready and was not there for decorating.

    If you look above at my other comments, you will see the tables. They were long rectangular tables.

    I stored it in buckets of water in the basement. Had them delivered on a Thursday and used them on a Saturday.

    I did not make garland, the stems were arranged on the tables loosely.

    I have a question for anyone who has used fresh eucalyptus -- how strong was the smell? I am worried that it will overpower the food and other flowers. Thanks in advance

    It has a light scent, not overpowering at all.

    Thanks, because the native eucalyptus where I live can get really strong. I will have to try different types.

    Thank you so much for posting this! This is the exact look I am going for and I've been nervous about how it would turn out. I am also planning on purchasing the 10 bunches from fiftyflowers for 10 tables.
