To make a bouquet with succulents:

• Propagate these succulents early
• Cut the buds so taht they have 1/2" long stem
• Insert the floral wire through the center of the stem
• Wrap the whole bouquetwith floral tape

Don't toss the bouquet after the wedding; instead, plant the succulents in a pot and watch them grow, symbolizing the growth of your marriage.

Succulent Wedding Centerpieces

Consider succulent centerpieces to adorn your reception tables.

Succulent Cakes

You can either make succulent like cakes, or decorate your wedding cake with succulents.

Where to Get the Succulents

To use real succulents for your wedding, you may need hundreds or thousands of succulents. Here are some options:

Propagate Them Yourself

One of the remarkable characteristics of succulents is their ability to propagate. You may wonder whether it's possible to propagate succulents before the wedding. Typically, it takes longer than you might expect to propagate them from a leaf into a small succulent rosette. It may take 8 months to a year of proper care to achieve a certain size.

So it may be a challenging task before the wedding.

Buy in Bulk Online

Consider purchasing succulents in bulk online from shops on Etsy and other online retailers. This may be a surefire way to acquire a large volume of succulents and alleviate some stress before the wedding.

What Succulents Can You Use?

Select a variety of succulent species and hybrids to create diversity in your decorations. Common choices include Echeveria, Sedum, and Crassula, but feel free to explore other options to suit your theme.

Final Words

A succulent-themed wedding offers a unique and enduring way to celebrate your love. From invitations to wedding favors, each element can reflect the beauty and symbolism of succulents. Make your special day truly unforgettable with these succulent-inspired ideas!
