Oh So Succulent!
| By Christa F. ~ April 5th, 2011 ~ Wedding Planning | 1 Comment |
Succulents are a beautiful way to modernize your wedding. They can bring a bit of surprise to a very romantic bouquet or you can use all succulents and air plants for an ultra modern style. Succulents are low-water-craving plants and can be cut and replanted… making them the perfect flower for an Eco-conscious bride. If you are a DIY bride, make your own succulent centerpieces months in advance and have a stress free wedding! To do this, grab any planter - wood, ceramic or glass – plant your favorite succulent varieties and be sure to fertilize every few weeks so they are nice and full for your wedding day (ask your local nursery for product info). Creating your own permanent arrangements is not only Eco-conscious but your guests will love taking home a centerpiece that was made by you and that will last for years to come.

Love these photos! All so creative! But do remember broken “petals” on succulents can stain your gown, and the stains should be treated as soon as possible, especially if the gown is silk. You can find gown specialists at http://weddinggownspecialists.com/locator.htm.
