Trend Spotting - Succulents

I started noticing these here and there at the end of the summer.  Then at Christmas, I started seeing them incorporated into traditional greenery for a more updated look.  I think the trend is going to continue and you will be seeing lots more of these very versatile plants.


They are very much on the scene already for modern weddings.  . . 
Look to see them in outdoor spaces when the weather begins to turn warm.


Not only are they drought tolerant but they give you so many color variations without any faded blooms to remove.

They also look amazing when coupled with flowering plants of all colors.

This one is especially drought tolerant, it's a graphic photograph! 

They can be used in a fresh and very modern way . . .



 Or worked into a more traditional setting.  I also love that a single succulent has the ability to stand on it's own like with this place card.  Hard to get that effect with a single bloom.

They will last longer than cut flowers and it only takes a few to get some great impact.
