We have all seen succulents, those thick and meaty flowers that are incredibly unique with their creative characteristics, but too often these little beauties are forgotten about. Big bloomed flowers usually take center stage in floral arrangements, but in today’s world, it’s not all about the abundant blossoms and long stems.

  • Uniqueness. Succulents offer a sense of creativity which allows them to stand out from what is considered to be a “normal” flower. Bold characteristics such as their thick stems and smooth appearance represents a look that will provide a statement to any arrangement they are included within.
    • Mostly seen in green, succulents can blend well with any color florals that you choose, however, they too come in different colors as well, such as purples.

  • Availability. Seeing as succulents are such a thick and fleshy plant, they really need little tending to. Water is stored within the leaves of these flowers, allowing them to thrive in warm and dry climates, and needing watered very little.
    • Because the succulent is such an easy floral to tend to, it allows them to be available all year long, so no matter which season you plan to marry, you can count on succulents to be available.

  • Display. The versatility of the succulent allows them to displayed beautifully within bouquets and floral arrangements. They can shine on their own in short centerpieces, become gorgeous accents to tall ones or lovely adornments to bridal bouquets.
    • Another way to uniquely show off the beauty of the succulent is to include them within terrariums. Terrariums are glass displays equipped to plant florals within, making them a creative addition to any home or event decor.
