Carnation Brut
Tight, rounded heads and a clean matte texture make Carnation Brut a workhorse that professional studios reach for season after season. The blooms are compact and densely petaled, sitting on straight, sturdy stems that hold their form through long event builds and multi-day installations. Vase life extends well past 12 days, and because each box is cut to order in Ecuador and shipped farm-direct through Kataleia, the flowers arrive with their full life cycle ahead of them. Bulk carnation orders in this variety travel exceptionally well, arriving firm and ready for conditioning with minimal bruising.
In the studio, wholesale Carnation Brut earns its place in ceremony arches, lush centerpiece clusters, and bridal bouquet textures where volume and longevity both matter. The neutral, muted palette reads as sophisticated rather than dated, layering naturally with white ranunculus, dusty miller, eucalyptus, and pale garden greenery. It also fills negative space in large installations without competing with focal blooms. Order arrives by the box, 12 bunches of 10 stems each, giving you reliable counts for quoting and building.
On delivery, recut each stem at an angle under cool running water and allow the flowers to hydrate in a chilled cooler for several hours before arranging. This single step maximizes uptake and keeps Carnation Brut performing through the full event weekend.
