I thought I would share these photos because I think they're pretty neat.

There are a lot of really cool things you can do with succulents. My wife had them in her wedding bouquet and also my boutonniere.

We then had them transplanted and started growing them.

I love that idea. If I get married again I want to have Semps in pots as my wedding favors. I think they look like roses.


Do what you can where you are with what you have.

Thanks!

We couldn't save a lot of succulents from the wedding bouquet because they put all that together with hot glue gun. However, we were able to get a few out that lived, which was great because they made it from California (where we were married) back to New Jersey (where we live).

The succulents did make for a heavier than normal wedding bouquet, but the wife had been working out so it was ok. :)
