Floral Spotlight: Succulents
Mar 7
 |
| {via} |
I’ve been holding off on this post because I just love these so much, and I keep finding more and more images for inspiration. Though not technically a “flower”, succulents are defined as any plant with fleshy, thick tissues adapted to water storage. Examples of succulents include aloe vera, agave, and cactus {yes, cactus!}, to name a few.
Succulents can be found year-round and are an easy and affordable addition to your wedding-day florals and decor. Additionally, they are a perfect, eco-friendly decoration as they can live off very little water and make a perfect take-home favor for guests. For more information on this unique {and pretty} plant, click here for a handy PDF with more facts.
And now for the fun part - the gallery of these unique plants in action!

Who doesn't like succulents…they are so sustainable and so darne cute! I love those floating candles. I went to A Soolip Wedding {you should check it out in SF} and they gave away tiny succulents. Great post!
I first learned about succulents just a few months ago, and I have fallen in love! I still can't get over their colors and natural beauty. I especially love the bouquet from Stephanie Williams photography.. these might be real contenders for our flower selection!
succulents are so charming! i never realized how great they look mixed with other flowers until this post. fun, fun!
I love! I'm going to save some of these images for my florist!
Amazing round up of succulents!
These are great! The boutonniere is too cute!

Yay! What an awesome roundup. I love succulents SO much and I wanted them in my wedding so bad, but unfortunately they don't grow as profusely in Seattle as they do in warmer parts of the country :( Oh well, I can live vicariously thru these beauties!!
i love love succulents too. i did an inspiration board awhile back and i wish i had waited. i just keep finding more and more amazing uses of them. i wish i had used them in my wedding!
