Sweet Succulents

























One of the more popular flower trends isn't actually a flower at all. It's a succulent. Succulents come in all shapes, sizes, and shades of traditional greenery. 


To find out a little more about them I asked local floral artist Tony Foss what he thought about them. Tony is a creative genius when it comes to floral arrangements and we like to go to him for our flower questions. 


According to Tony, succulents are very vogue; they're in fashion and very trendy. Many people have the misconception that using succulents in your bouquet will make it cheaper. Actually, succulents can be $5-$10 a piece which can get pretty pricey if you're ordering multiple bouquets. 

Succulents are popular right now because they can go with modern or vintage style weddings. Using these will give a fresh feel to a loose, casual bouquet. The great thing about succulents is that you can use them in most any month although Tony doesn't suggest them in the winter season.

Before you run off to tell Tony that your wedding must be covered with this all the rage plant, take a minute to think about your pictures. If when looking at your pictures in 2o years you want to see something classic that never ages, succulents may not be for you. But if you want to see something unique and you don't really mind that it was only in fashion at the time, succulents could be the perfect greenery for your wedding!
