02 / DESIGN WITH INTENTION

Ways to use olympic st. john's wort
in wedding flowers.

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

01

Bridal bouquets

Place small details near the outside or surface of the bouquet. Avoid burying them inside larger heads where their cost and texture will be hard to see.

02

Boutonnieres and small pieces

Test the exact support and attachment method. Count usable flowers, purchased stems, and assembly time separately.

03

Petite table vessels

Keep the vase and neighboring ingredients small enough for the fine flowers to register. Group vessels when a single stem needs a quieter backdrop.

Before you order

Confirm the unit of sale: a stem, spray, bunch, or loose bloom. Specialty preparation and unusable divisions can matter as much as the quoted price of the flowers.

ASK YOUR SUPPLIERWhat usable cut length is available for Hypericum olympicum, and are the supplied stems flowering?

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.
