Using succulents in your
bouquet
The use of succulent plants in
bouquets has been gaining
popularity and it’s easy to
see why. The thick fleshy
“petals” of succulents come
in a variety of colours; the
succulents can survive happily
out of water for a few weeks
(allowing you to make the
bouquet in advance), and the
succulents can be replanted
after the wedding – perfect
for “green-conscious” brides.
In fact different kinds of
greenery and “fillers” (e.g.
dried baby’s breath and
lavender) in general are
becoming more popular.
Even yellow crespedia and
hypericum berries will work to
add volume, texture and a
little bit of interest to bouquets.
