Succulents are great for weddings :
- succulents can be bought well in advance of the wedding day
- as potted plants succulents can be kept as a reminder of a special day
- a great green option
- succulents are a great price
We shared ideas for DIY brides wanting to make their own centrepieces. Use succulents with other flowers to create an eye catching and easy to make wedding centrepiece. Blackboard buckets are available to buy from our sister company the wedding of my dreams. This centrepiece would look gorgeous at a seaside wedding, perhaps adding some shells to the arrangement. Don’t forget to chalk on the table name or number. Great for easy DIY centrepieces.
Pretty rustic bark centrepiece looks great with a semperviren (type of succulent)! These could be hung from trees or set around your wedding reception venue.
Bark vases or lanterns are available to buy from our sister company the wedding of my dreams. Add pretty rustic bark tea light holders to finish off your rustic wedding centrepieces.
Don’t you just love this DIY favour created with love by the sister of one of our brides. The good news is this can be done in advance of your wedding day
To achieve this DIY succulent wedding favour which doubles up as a place setting :
- buy mini succulents from florist or local garden centre
- pot up tiny succulents in mini terracotta pots
- tie with lace or ribbon
- paint a lollipop stick
- add guests name
Looking after your succulents :
- succulents are very hardy and thrive on neglect!
- succulents can be grown either inside or outside in the warmer months. They like natural light.
- need little water in the winter
- don’t allow to completely dry out in summer.
