Gorgeous Succulents



Gorgeous and Green created another gorgeous wedding bouquet using local succulents and local dahlias. Many of the succulents were grown by me, and others came from local bay area gardens. As usual, I tried to use as many locally grown and non-sprayed flowers as possible in the wedding decor.



Most of the wedding was vivid jewel tones, a theme taken from the bride's collection of glassware that we used to decorate tables at the Berkeley Botanical Garden.




Since the bride was wearing a vintage inspired cream lace gown, we toned down the bouquet to give it the same vintage and feminine feel.

The great thing about cut succulents in a bouquet is that after the wedding is over, you can replant your succulents in soil and they will grow into a plant.
