02 / DESIGN WITH INTENTION

Ways to use ice chip butterfly bush
in wedding flowers.

These are design starting points. Test your sample with the actual cut material, venue conditions, and mechanics.

01

Garden bouquets

Vary the height and angle of flowering stems. Use the line to extend the silhouette rather than making every stem part of the same dome.

02

Ceremony flowers

Mock up the tallest point and total spread. Check usable flowering length as well as overall stem length when ordering.

03

Reception arrangements

Use a restrained number of directional stems and check sightlines. Make a separate recipe for tall feature pieces and low guest-table flowers.

03 / BUILD YOUR PALETTE

What pairs with ice chip butterfly bush?

Before you order
ice chip butterfly bush.

Compare usable flowering length, stem straightness or natural curve, and bud stage. The same overall stem length can provide very different amounts of visible flower.

ASK YOUR SUPPLIERFor Ice Chip, can you supply clean cut branches with enough usable length for a vase, and what proportion of the flowers will be open on delivery?

Put these details on the order

  • Wedding date and delivery window
  • Exact variety, commercial form, and color
  • Usable stem length and head or branch grade
  • Stems per bunch, price per bunch, and minimum order
  • Conditioning, storage, and expected opening stage
  • A client-approved substitution and a revised recipe

For fresh cut material, use clean containers and follow the supplier’s conditioning instructions. Keep foliage out of the vase water and test the finished sample before committing to a long display. Dried and preserved products need their own handling plan.
