Succulents In The Home

Succulents are long-lasting floral elements that have been trending in the floral and event design industry this season. Succulents are plants that are often referred to as fleshy and plump as they retain water in arid climates and soil. 'Greenery' – often including leafy greens or ferns – has also been a major trend in event design, which often embraces a succulent inspired element!  Succulents can be used in arrangements, wreaths or even as loose décor throughout a tablescape. Succulents grow in several colors and shapes and can also be used as statement pieces by spray painting them a unique color to mix in with the theme of your event or gathering. Because succulents have become so popular (and it looks like this trend is here to stay) we gathered a few ways that you can incorporate succulents into your home décor or upcoming event.

Use Succulents to Elevate a Flower Arrangement

Adding succulents into arrangements can elevate your designs to a whole new level. Succulents can create an attention-grabbing component to the design, while also giving off a natural look. Succulents are always in season! Because of their constant availability, succulents provide a surefire way to spice up an arrangement at any time. Succulents also work nicely as décor on tables or windowsills as standalone accents. They add something unique to an open space which elevates the space instantly.

Add multiple succulent types for an organic aesthetic

If you’re trying to achieve a natural and organic design, consider using multiple types of succulents in your arrangement. When succulents dominate an arrangement, you can achieve a textured, earthy aesthetic. Whether they are potted or used in a traditional type of arrangement, succulents can enhance the look of your event by creating a textured, lively aesthetic.

Use succulents to add contrast to a feminine arrangement

If you are looking to subtly elevate your arrangement, try complementing it with a few, sparse succulents to give your arrangement interest and dimension. Succulents come in a variety of shades, so make sure the ones you choose to complement your flowers.  We love when succulents can provide a bit of dimension to a soft, feminine arrangement.

Potted Succulents as a Gift

Elevate your event by providing a nice takeaway gift for all of your guests. Whether you are hosting a big event or an intimate dinner party, using a potted succulent can be a great takeaway gift. They can be paired with multiple succulents or even a few cacti for a slightly contrasting component.

Potted succulents as a table runner

Even if you plan to give out potted succulents as gifts for your guests, consider all using these as a table runner for your tablescape. Group the potted succulents throughout the center of your table to achieve a cohesive aesthetic. Try arranging the succulents at varying heights to create varied dimensions to your table. If you’re looking to give the succulents as gifts, simply just label each pot with a painted hangtag.

Potted succulents as place cardholders

Succulents are also a unique way to hold place cards if you plan to have a large seated dinner. By adding succulents to the table with the card, you have created a simple and fun guest ‘takeaway’ item while adding floral elements to the table in a fun and vibrant way! Either place the potted succulent directly on the middle of the plate or place it directly above the table setting to give each place setting a bit of color and life!

Succulent Wreaths

Floral wreaths are another great way to incorporate succulents into your home during any season! This is a statement piece that will grab your guests’ attention once they are about to enter the room. Succulents can create a welcoming feel and are really versatile. Mix in some seasonal blooms with your succulents and be prepared to wow your guests!
