Terrarium Love

Wondering how to care for a succulent terrarium? Place the terrarium in a bright location, ideally near a window with lots of indirect sunlight. Succulents and cactus require very little water, just a dribble every couple of weeks or so, and even less in winter. Let dry completely between waterings. Remove any dry leaves as needed. If your terrarium includes a tillandsia (air plant), remove to soak in water for a half hour or so about once a week.

Care: Bright, Indirect Light • Very Low Water • Ave indoor temperature

In the Mix: succulents

Succulents have been a popular floral trend for quite some time now. Both the adorable small mix shown above and the wedding bouquet below are made with garden roses, seasonal accents and a beautiful purple echeveria succulent rosettes. In bouquets, succulents tend to be a little tricky to work with since they are heavy and require the creation of support stems. In a short vase, however, no wiring is required to add them to the mix, just some careful placement will do.

Succulents continue to be a popular addition to the bridal bouquet mix. Shown above are two late summer/early fall bridal bouquets that combine dahlias, roses and lots of texture. The fiery hued first example includes yarrow, echinacea, scabiosa pods, and crespedia. The soft palette second bouquet has touches of sage leaf and lavender. Interested in succulents?

Succulent Terrariums pt.2

Our fascination with succulent terrariums continues in 2012. Each little succulent plant has so much character and we’re blown away by their colors. Here's a fun picture of a full flat of the little guys and a couple of pics of them placed in their new homes. Somehow they do seem more like little pets than plants, don’t they?

Big and beautiful

If you stopped by the Pearl location a few weeks ago, you may have seen the explosion of beautiful pinks, whites, greens and accents of icy blue (succulents!) Just a few of the gorgeous arrangements are shown below: large and small ceremony arrangements, table arrangements, mantle arrangement, chair backs and rehearsal arrangements.
