How do you make a succulent bouquet?
Directions for Making a Succulent Bouquet
Remove the succulent from its nursery pot and gently wash away the soil and cut back the roots. To create a “stem” insert a piece of floral wire into the base of the succulent and bend to form a loop. Wrap the base of the succulent and top of the floral wire with floral tape.
How do you preserve a succulent bouquet?
Making Your Succulent Bouquet Last Forever
Have a look around the base of the succulents for any dead leaves and remove them. This will encourage the plants to pull off roots as well as preventing rot later on. Let the succulents dry for about 2-3 days until the raw ends have hardened.
How long will succulents last in a bouquet?
Do not refrigerate your bouquet or any other succulent wedding flowers, as this will damage them. They'll be quite happy in a warm brightly lit room until the day of the wedding ceremony – Unlike most cut flowers they will last very well for up to a week in the right conditions.
Are succulent bouquets cheaper than flowers?
If the price of peonies is making your eyes pop, consider adding some succulents to your wedding bouquet. Incorporating these pretty plants tends to be far less expensive than filling your bouquets and centerpieces with flowers alone.
