Floral Faves
Over the last few weeks, we've covered some of the top fashion and decor trends. One of the easiest ways to pull both of those together is through my favorite element of any wedding- flowers.
Flowers are the window to the bride's soul. They represent everything- beauty, modernity, romance, softness, simplicity, and even high maintenance. They also represent a large part of the budget!
Succulents are a trend that emerged last year that I think are going to be huge in the coming years. There's a few reasons:
1) They are versatile:
Succulents can be modern, vintage, rustic or organic; they are a little bit of everything! They work with almost every type of style, trend and color combo too! They can add amazing texture to a bouquet.

#2) They are eco-friendly:
Some floral wholesalers use pesticides to keep flowers longer (especially those that are not local and being shipped) which can harm the environment. For those of trying to minimize our carbon footprint on such an extravagant day, succulents are great. They are easily replanted and almost impossible to kill making them great bouts, centerpieces, escort cards and/or favors for your guests to have an everlasting memory of your big day!

#3) They are affordable.
For all of you DIY'ers out there succulents are pretty easy to find at your local home and garden store. A warning though, large chains get there prices low from buying in bulk and sometimes lower qualities, for the best selection and advice see your local florist. They can also help with ideas for how to bring the look together.
Check out these amazing combinations and this
