Ever since I first saw this boutonniere, designed by southern Cali designer Carissa of JL Designs, I have been smitten over this darling little creation called a succulent.  I mean, I didn't even know what it was until she told me!!  LOL ... Anyway, it's about a year later and I find myself wanting to do an entire post on how to use succulents in your wedding :)  I hope these images (which were sent to us from all over!!) will help inspire your day to be more succulent.

Above:  Gorgeous succulent arrangements by Flower Allie, an Orange County talent.  I especially love the boutonniere!  I'm so happy that Jordana from Hazelnut Photography shared these with us :)

Above and below, you'll see designs by Asiel Floral Design (a California coast floral company).  I think the succulent placed on the napkin is so darling!  Thank you, Jennifer Roper Photography and Kristin Banta Events for submitting these!

Above:  Portland, OR floral company Quince Flowers submitted these 3 images to us ... Again, the succulent boutonnieres get me every time!!  LOVE!

Above and below, are images which were submitted to us by Jessica Hill Photography.  The floral designer is Portland based company Vibrant Table and we can't get enough of their work!

Below, a darling boutonniere from Vibrant Table, submitted to us by Coughlin-Glaser Photography.

Mandi Downs of Champagne Wedding and Event Coordination out of Portland submitted the photos below, which were taken by Brandon Perron Photography at a design shoot they all worked on together with Blum Design :)

Below, images submitted to us by Brandon Kidd Photography.  The colors work so well together!!  Flower Allie definitely knows her succulents :)

Heidi Ryder Photography submitted a gorgeous real wedding to us (which we are still working on, but will share later) and the images below are from that wedding.  Succulents galore!

And finally, the one who started my crush in the first place ... Images from the work of JL Designs (and these are from Carissa's own wedding!!) of succulent perfection, taken by Jasmine Star Photography.  I'm dying over the cake, which was designed by Carissa's architect husband and baked with love by Vanilla Bake Shop :)

Speaking of cakes ... make sure to pop by later today, as we have another succulent treat for you that involves sugar, flour, and a lot of love from Erica O'Brien Cake Design :)
