What Are Succulents?

Found in about 60 plant families, succulents come in a variety of colors and shapes. They are often recognized for their thick leaves that are usually bumpy or smooth. Succulents prefer a climate with low humidity, and grow best in deserts or other dry areas.

Succulent Colors

Succulents don't just grow in one shade of green. Lisa Gloff, owner of The Rosy Posy based in Manassas, Virginia, said succulents are actually quite versatile. Because of this, it's easy to match them to your other wedding flowers. "They come in so many shades of green, from a light dusty green to a dark green to a burgundy," she said. "They are perfect for every season."

When Are Succulents In Season?

Most succulents prefer spring and fall temperatures and tend to thrive during these seasons. Depending on the variety, they go into a dormant phase in the summer or winter. Check with your florist to see which varieties are available at the time of your wedding.

Average Succulent Cost

Succulent wedding bouquet cost varies based on size and where you live. Starting at approximately $8, succulents can be a budget-friendly option. If you're eyeing larger varieties to give your bouquet a dramatic pop, expect to pay a bit more, sometimes as much as $25.

Tips for Adding Succulents to Your Wedding Bouquet

When adding succulents to your wedding bouquet, there are a few things to keep in mind. It's important to know what flowers pair best with succulents and how to handle these often delicate plants. They're also a wonderful option if you want to repurpose them after the wedding.

Flowers to Pair With Succulents for a Wedding

A succulent wedding bouquet can include a variety of blooms depending on the aesthetic of your wedding. Pair them with several combinations of flowers to achieve different looks.

Gloff said she loves to combine succulents with all white blooms including ranunculus, lisianthus and garden rose. These delicate and dreamy blooms won't overwhelm the succulents and keep them the focal point of the bouquet.

"Natural foliage, protea and scabiosa pods create a great garden bouquet," she added. "Then you have the beautiful Perle von Nurnberg. It has the perfect hint of burgundy for a fall wedding. Paired with dahlia, scabiosa, ranunculus and hypericum it creates a lovely warm fall bouquet."

Handle Succulents With Care

Even though many succulents have thick leaves, they are fragile. Erin Geyer, Marketing Director at The Flowerman in Dayton and Columbus, Ohio mentioned they should be handled delicately. "Provide additional support and structure by wiring them to a stick to create a faux stem," she said. "This will allow the succulent to stand tall in the design and have a stable foundation in the piece. Handle the bloom with care."

Replanting Succulents After a Wedding

Succulents aren't just beautiful, they're also sustainable. Replant them at home for a sweet reminder of your wedding day. "Succulent blooms can be added back into soil after being used in a design to be kept as a plant," Geyer said. "Additionally, the leaves/petals of the succulent can be pulled off, placed in soil and propagated."
