Succulents are fascinating plants that store water in their leaves resulting in a thick and oftentimes waxy-looking plant. They come in a very broad range of shapes, sizes, and colors and have become very popular in the last several years. They have even become popular to include in wedding decor, probably due to their interesting shapes, sturdiness, and high heat tolerance. Since they don’t need water but every so often, they can stay fresh and hold up longer than flowers. Combining succulents with other typical wedding blooms is a great way to add intrigue, creativity, and freshness to your wedding. These unique-looking plants look great as centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, and more.
