Compare order cutoffs and delivery timing for fresh eucalyptus bunches, handmade garlands, and Fresh Italian Ruscus before planning an event.
Start with the event date
Compare order cutoffs and delivery timing for fresh eucalyptus bunches, handmade garlands, and Fresh Italian Ruscus before planning an event. Fresh greenery planning should begin with the delivery date, not only the design photo. Fresh eucalyptus and greenery bunches other than Italian Ruscus may be ordered by 9 AM Pacific for same-day shipment; handmade garlands must be ordered by 2 PM Pacific one business day before shipment. These products ship on eligible weekdays for Tuesday through Saturday delivery.
Check Italian Ruscus timing separately
Fresh Italian Ruscus follows a separate weekly schedule. Order by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Pacific for delivery the following Wednesday through Saturday. Wednesday delivery adds $15; Thursday through Saturday delivery is included. Choose from the dates shown on the Fresh Italian Ruscus product page because holidays and availability can move the schedule.
Use a practical receiving window
For most events, we recommend a delivery date two business days before the event or use date. Tuesday through Thursday deliveries are usually easiest to manage because they leave time to inspect, store, and prepare greenery before a weekend event.
Measure before ordering
Garlands should be measured by the exact path they will follow, including drape, corners, overlap, and connection points. Loose greenery should be estimated from a tested recipe whenever possible, especially for weddings and large tablescapes.
Store and install carefully
Open fresh greenery promptly, inspect it, protect it from heat and direct sun, and follow product-specific care instructions. Label pieces by table, arch, room, or installation area so event setup is organized and the material is handled as little as possible.
