Oh Succulents!!!

Succulents can be a fantastic addition to your wedding!  Although not a flower, succulents are plants that are a quite stunning and interesting way to enhance your wedding flowers.  Growing in popularity, succulents are a perfect match for wedding because of their unique characteristics.  Succulents are plants that can retain a high amount of water and hold that water for long periods of time (which I guess is the reason mine are still alive even though I have not watered them in a while)!  They can also survive in mostly all climates.  These are particularly great attributes to have for a wedding because they can with stand hot and cold climates without worrying about wilting or drying out which you do have to worry about with say a hydrangea or tulip.  

Perhaps the best part of using succulents in your wedding is that you can keep them and put in your house and with the proper watering and care, they can last until your 20th wedding anniversary…SERIOUSLY!!  My in-laws have had a jade plant for 15 years and it has tripled in size since it started!!  Unlike preserving a bouquet of flowers, it would keep growing like the love you and your new husband have for each other!  What a fantastic way to have a memory of your wedding day with you each day when you are home.

Of course succulents look beautiful in the wedding centerpieces.  You can choose to accent the centerpieces with a few succulents or have centerpieces only made with different types of plants and succulents.
