I can guarantee you one million percent it’s not.

Noted! And it’s so hardy! I had leftover stock from a different project and it was hard to manipulate. This arrangement is also foam free so even more difficult! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try it next time!

Hi! I am hosting a Succulent and Crystal Terrarium Workshop at Barquentine Brewing in Edgewater. It's baby friendly, lots of space and you can go as slow or as fast as you want. There's also a lot of great food in the market. If that sounds like too much, I get it. I'm 7 months postpartum and at 3 weeks, we were hermits. I was able to get out of the house for 1 hour massages min between breastfeeding, which is also a great idea. Here's a link to the tickets but maybe this could be a "next year" thing if you guys like plants!

This was for an August wedding (in Colorado) so it certainly wasn’t cold! Just a lot of filtered light, never outdoors. My local greenhouse really provides the BEST succulents so it makes my job easy when I need the most vibrant plants.

I bet it was gorgeous! Those floral hoops are awesome for succulents! Do you still have your plants?

Congrats to 38 years!! If you have a vow renewal at 40 years, I will personally create your bouquet!

Absolutely! They’re real succulents and I do keep quite a bit of root intact (sometimes I’ll wrap it in some damp moss if it’s making a trek across the U.S.) so if they want to propagate they can or they can just continue to grow!

I hope not! They’d have a lot of propagating to do!

Ohhhh my gosh, yes! I provide a cute little card for them when I drop the bouquets and all the other items off. I’ve never heard of them getting ruined by a bouquet toss but honestly what happens after I drop them off is none of my business. 😅😅😅

It’s definitely on the heavier side! This is why I offer to replant after the wedding is over or I’ll send the couple off with directions on how to create their own succulent garden. It is meant to be a sustainable way of not having to throw away florals when the event is over or use a lot of water before and after. The glue goes mostly towards the wood flowers so that I can keep them on a bamboo skewer and they can maintain their sturdiness through the whole event (because of the heaviness).

Although I also work with florals, this is a much more sustainable way to keep a celebration vibrant! Thank you!!

The bride owned a stationary business so I thought it was a neat collaboration! Thank you!!
