Succulent Wedding Ideas

Try taking succulents out of the norm and use them as you would any flower.
A succulent corsage is something I've to see in person, but I'm certain I wouldn't be disappointed.

How about some boutonnieres to match?

Looking for a unique hairstyle? No succulent themed wedding would be complete without...


Finally, add some life to your venue. This is one of my favorite ideas because they are cheap, easy, and fun to make. Add a little splash of succulents.

let them eat cake!

Is there anything more grand and spectacular at a wedding than the cake... well besides the bride of course? I love attending weddings, basking in the brides glow, witnessing the couples love, spending time with family and friends, but lets get real we are all thinking about the cake. What will the cake look like? How many different layers will it have? Will there be enough for seconds?

The wedding cake is such an important facet of the wedding that it gets its own table! I mean even the bride and groom have to share a table; so needless to say selecting a wedding cake is a serious task. The wedding cake can provide beautiful decor while also satisfying a guest's sweet tooth, so lets hope it looks as wonderful as it tastes.

I am currently swooning on how lovely succulents can dress up a wedding cake. Adding succulents provide just the right amount of color and pizzazz without overwhelming the cake itself. Here are a few of my favorites.

Let's hope they tasted good too

to favor or not to favor...

A question that I hear often asked by brides is "Do I need to give my guests favors at my wedding?" This question is usually answered with opposing views. The more traditional responses will include a "yes" stating that it is important to make your guests feel appreciated and welcomed at your wedding. A "no" response usually has something to do with a lack of a creative idea and not wanting to give the boring piece of chocolate or bags of Jordan Almonds that are the usual suspects. So what is a bride (and groom) to do? The answer is actually quite easy...

Provide your guests with beautiful yet practical succulent wedding favors! As some may know a popular wedding trend is to gift mini succulents. Popularity arises for the fact that succulents not only help to spruce up your tables but they also provide a lasting memory of your wedding for your guests in the years to come. Many brides are opting for the double duty wedding favors, saving funds by minimizing the size of their guest tables centerpiece, and sometimes opting out of the traditional floral centerpiece altogether, as well as receiving confidence in knowing that their guests feel thanked for partaking in their special day.  

Here are a few of my favorite ways that brides used succulent favors at their weddings. Get creative and gift your guests with a favor they will be sure to enjoy!
