They’re the “it” wedding flower right now. Well, actually, they’re the “anti-flower.” Succulents just make sense. They’re affordable and hearty, add texture and are the perfect DIY detail, adaptable to many themes. And they’re green in more ways than one.

“Potted succulents leave less of a carbon footprint because they can be given out as favors and they won’t die off,” says Marie Danielle Vil-Young of A Votre Service Events in Somerville, who created these designs. These versatile elements work well in traditional centerpieces or mod terrariums.
