Succulent Wedding Inspiration

I'm currently obsessed with Google Reader -- how did I not know about this before! It enables you to quickly scroll through all of your favorite wedding blogs (or other websites) much more quickly that visiting each site individually. Wow!

Here are a few images I stumbled today that made me smile -- I loved these and hope you do too. Succulents are one of my favorite plants -- they're definitely a surprise and not expected for weddings. They're also incredibly durable (if you have a brown thumb, try succulents, they'll likely thrive!)

Here's a bouquet from WeddingChicks.com that looks like a succulent at first glance, but I think its actually a cabbage rose or something of a similar variety. This gorgeous bouquet was photographed by Kathryn Krueger Photography and designed by Texas floral designer Petal Pushers (love the name!). I love the contrast of the colors on the navy blue dress, and I love the little blue berry sprigs.














Another fun wedding from WeddingChicks.com had just an amazing soft look to it, and I swooned when I saw this centerpiece by Arrangements Floral and Party Design. Just loved the light pastel colors, the box that was used in lieu of a vase.

My favorite part was the succulents that were carefully placed at the base of the arrangement. Such a perfect little touch! Mi Belle Photography took this lovely image.
