Succulents in Wedding Bouquets
If you have been on Pinterest and looked at any amount of bridal bouquets, you’ve no doubt seen wedding bouquets with succulents. If you’ve fallen in love with them as I have, or are considering using them in your wedding, I encourage you to do just that! Here’s why…
They are beautiful, fuss-free and long-lasting. For these very reasons they are being used in wedding bouquets all over the world.
Succulents are beautiful.
Not in a peony, rose or ranunculus sort of way, but in a unique, “look at me, I’m amazing” sort of way. The sheer number of varieties makes them amazing. Some are fuzzy, others are striped, miniature, thick, thin, round or smooth. The list goes on, and on, and on. This is fantastic for a bride who wants her bouquet to be one-of-a-kind. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want one-of-a-kind on their wedding day?!
Succulents are fuss-free.
Another bonus to wedding day succulents is their ability to thrive on a limited water source. This keeps both the florist and the bride happy, because on the day of the wedding, that’s exactly what they are going to get – limited water. By choosing a plant that will show zero signs of distress from time of delivery to final dance is a no brainer. Now if only hydrangea would behave so well!
Succulents are long-lasting.
When you bring your bouquet home, the succulents are ready and waiting to join in on the family fun. They can be taken out of the bouquet and individually propagated. This can even be done after the week-long honeymoon! The succulents will amaze you their resilience. Once you propagate them, think of it as a living legacy from your wedding day. And depending on how many you incorporate into your wedding, you may just have the beginnings of your very own succulent garden.
