Nonchalant and wild

(Fat) Plants
Have your bridal bouquet composed of succulents, a rewarding trend! The Echeveria, for example, lends itself perfectly to incorporation into your wedding styling, and goes perfectly with several theme colours. Combine different colours or types of succulents in your bouquet for a nice full effect. A nice extra: succulents need very little water, so you can keep your bouquet intact for quite a long time.

Leaves
Green plants and leaves in your bouquet provide a natural, earthy touch that is perfect for a boho chic or outdoor wedding. If you choose green leaves, you will also enjoy your bouquet much longer.
