Design tips for hyacinth
Hyacinth has a strong fragrance — warn clients before including it in the bride's bouquet.
The short stem length limits them to smaller arrangements — don't plan them for tall pedestals.
Use the white variety as a 'lily of the valley alternative' — similar look, fraction of the cost.
Pairs well with
Complementary stems to combine with hyacinth in wedding arrangements.
Common mistakes to avoid
Expecting them in summer — they're an early-spring stem only.
Trying to force them into tall arrangements — the short stems make them centerpiece-only.
Ignoring fragrance sensitivity — some guests can't tolerate hyacinth scent.
