trend alert: succulent-themed wedding accessories
There’s a big wedding trend blossoming this year, and we’re kind of obsessed with it: All things succulents. If you’re thinking about a succulent bouquet, you’re not thinking creatively enough. There are so many amazing ways to incorporate them into your big day, and—you guessed it—we’ve got them all right here.
Okay, so this first one isn’t an actual succulent, but we love the idea of giving guests a sneak peek. If succulents are a theme throughout your wedding, include them on the invitations as well!
How cute is this? If your ceremony is outside, a succulent ring holder is a great way to incorporate nature. You could even slide each ring over the frond of a plant. Bonus: your ring bearer can replant these as a reminder of your big day.
Are you a boho bride planning to wear flowers in your hair? Swap out fresh blooms for sturdier succulents to ensure your hairpiece looks its best long after you exchange vows.
Just like your hairpiece, a succulent boutonniere will hold up much better than a floral one. Plus, it feels a little “manlier,” don’t you think?
Succulents make a great place card holder because they double as a party gift. Make them even more special by choosing a plant you feel represents each person; from soft to prickly!
Some people hang candles from trees at their ceremony, but we love this alternative. It’ll feel like a bohemian jungle!
Now this is genius. You’ll need a lot of succulents to pull this one off, but luckily they’re fairly inexpensive. Besides, can you imagine anything more beautiful than the perfect shot of you and your brand-new spouse in front of bright, verdant blooms? We didn’t think so.
Succulents make amazing centerpieces for lots of reasons: You can put them together in advance without having to keep them in vases, they’re super easy to arrange (no stems to deal with!), and they’re visually striking. Plus, easy care means your guests will want to take them home. For something a bit different, try putting one long train of succulents down the center of the table.
Whether spelling out “love” like the letters seen here or announcing your new initials for all to see, using succulents in wall letters makes a real statement.
Yet another wedding must-have where succulents work better than fresh flowers. They won’t wilt, and bright green really pops on a white cake. Plus, the cake is on display for most of your wedding, so it’s a great way to keep the succulent theme going throughout your big day.
Ready to get started? Head to a Plant Nite event in your area to create your first terrarium or tabletop succulent garden. Then, take what you learn and get planting—your wedding will be here before you know it!

Hi, I'm Erica. I get creative by making up what my dogs say to each other in their personality-perfect voices. It's totally normal.
Thanks for sharing our succulent favors, Organic Elements.
You bet! Thanks for leaving us a note. We LOVED your favors 🙂
I love the terrarium place cards and was wondering where I might be able to find mini terrariums like that in bulk?
I was wondering the same, where do you purchase the glass teardrop terrarium in bulk? Did you find out?
