Consider this our ode to the humble and popular succulent, a plant that has graced many a wedding venue.
These little plants (both artificial and real) have skyrocketed to the top of many brides’ inspiration lists due to their variations, colors, decor potential, and of course, their wallet-friendly nature.
If you’re planning on featuring succulents as part of your wedding aesthetic, it would be a super smart move to include them in your wedding invites! Some brides utilize small potted succulents as thank-you gifts, use them in bouquets or wedding cake toppers, or include them in greenery and floral centerpieces. Featuring them in your wedding invites may clue curious guests into your botanical theme!
Let’s get into our favorite succulent wedding invitations – but first, an overview for the curious brides…
What Is a Succulent?
A succulent is classified as any plant that has adapted qualities to store water in its typically fleshy leaves. Some also hold water in their stems and have tiny to no leaves.
Many succulents are native to desert regions, such as the cactus. They are plants that thrive in hot and dry conditions due to their ability to conserve and retain water. It is indeed the fact that they need infrequent watering that makes succulents such easy-to-care-for houseplants.
Succulents are prized for many reasons; people love them for their quirky shapes for one! They’re a great addition to indoor and outdoor gardens, and they do have the ability to bloom, even though some varieties are “shy.”
How Many Types and Colors of Succulents Are There?
There are an incredible number of succulent varieties out there, somewhere in the thousands! The cool thing is, even though it’s an umbrella term for plants with water-retaining properties, some non-succulent plants can become “succulents” as a response to climate changes!
Because the official number doesn’t exist, here are some popular varieties that you may have heard of (or seen, but didn’t know the name of).
Aloe Vera, with its myriad of uses, is a popular succulent. We’re all familiar with the fleshy leaves that have anti-inflammatory properties and seem to magically relieve the worst sunburns!
“Hens and Chicks” are known for their symmetrical spiraling leaves that come in all different colors, including red, black, and purple.
Haworthia is a houseplant that is tiny and mighty, characterized by tall and slender leaves with white stripes and its love for the sun. It seemingly thrives on neglect; low maintenance indeed!
Echeveria is a super popular, low-growing succulent that you’ve seen everywhere. With its wide, flat, bluish-green leaves that are kissed with a touch of pink, these succulents almost look like massive roses.
Echeveria is popular with brides who are looking for anything in the dusty blue and pale pink realm, as this succulent magically offers the two!
You’ll see lots of artistic renderings of succulents on our list, rest assured, all interpretations (accurate or not) are appreciated!
