Succulents: Pretty and Green

Posted on March 3rd, 2010 by Kate. Filed under Flowers, Wedding Inspiration.

Want eco-friendly floral alternatives that dazzle and delight? Luscious succulent plants are one of 2010’s hottest trends for wedding bouquets and décor!

Succulents are an eco-friendly alternative to cut flowers, which are often grown with pesticides and imported from South America and China. They can be used anywhere you’d normally use flowers – in centerpieces, decorations, bouquets, wedding favors – even your hair!

Succulents are usually less expensive than cut flowers, and they can live for many years with minimal care. You or your guests can take them home and plant them as a memento of your special day.

These hearty little plants can also be arranged before your wedding, so if you’re DIY-savvy you can make your own succulent centerpieces or favors and save a bundle on your floral bill.

Many innovative florists and event designers, like Los Angeles-based Succulent Love, eschew cut flowers entirely in favor of the organic, lush look of succulents.

And the very best part is that you don’t have to sacrifice style to go green. These plants come in a variety of colors and shapes, and lend a sophisticated and modern touch to any wedding or event.

Recycle Bride is the site to buy and sell gently used wedding items and find everything green for your wedding day.
