Time for another style lounge installment as featured by Save The Date Magazine yesterday!
If, like me, you enjoy reading some of the gorgeous American
wedding blogs like Style Me Pretty
and Green Wedding Shoes, you
will have noticed a massive trend over the last few years toward using lots of
natural elements and textured foliage in bouquets and arrangements. I think we
are definitely going to see more of this over here as brides become a bit more
daring in their flower and style choices.
The use of succulents in particular is becoming very popular
as an accent in both rustic and glamorous wedding styles alike. The perfect
choice for adding variety and gorgeous texture to your arrangements.
Here I've used succulents with vibrant coral and pink
peonies, roses, dahlias and thistles to create relaxed and informal
arrangements perfect for a garden wedding...

Why not try an alternative table linen such as hessian and
rustic wooden boxes for your centrepieces to compliment this outdoor country
style!
Alternatively, these succulents which have been sprayed
silver would be perfect with white roses for a contemporary winter wedding...

Use silvered vases and votives with crisp white linens and
geometric table runner designs for a luxurious and stylish celebration.
If you’re looking for a touch of Hollywood glamour why not
try gilded succulents with lavish arrangements of gold and white flowers with elegant
silvery foliage...perfectly glam!

They are even perfect for the groom who’s looking for
something a bit different!
