Wedding Trend to Watch: Cacti & Succulents


Many brides are starting to mix up their classic bouquets and centerpieces with non-traditional floral elements. We recently attended a wedding in San Francisco where the bride added some surprising elements that made the table settings unique. Modern and cost-effective, cacti were used as centerpieces and created a cool, unexpected vibe.



Succulents were also added at tables throughout the venue for a California twist, giving the setting a desert feel.




The bride even waited until the morning of the wedding to pick out her bouquets! Checking out a local farmer’s market, she picked out fresh flowers with her bridesmaids that included some unbloomed bulbs for a dramatic effect.







You don’t have to be in California though to add these elements to your own wedding. Many Pinterest boards are online for inspiration (http://pinterest.com/trueme/simply-succulents/), and both cacti and succulents can be ordered online through Etsy for brides (http://www.etsy.com/search?q=cacti+and+succulents).
