Succulents have been a flourishing wedding trend in recent years, most having a rustic bohemian feel. We wanted to take that trend and add a simple, yet elegant twist by adding hints of gold and elegant wood details to really bring the beauty of the succulents to life. Complete with a subtly gorgeous DIY Succulent Place Card, a chic and delicious DIY Succulent Cupcake Display and refreshing Pomegranate Cosmopolitan, this succulent wedding will have you fall head over heels in love with this now chic and timeless theme.
The Table:
To create the elegant yet rustic look we were dreaming about for this table, we purchased an inexpensive piece of faux wood paneling from our local hardware store and had it cut down to fit the size of our tabletop.
We love the way the rustic wood looked against the elegance of the decor.
Our decor included a Gold Trim Open Top Terrarium filled with Moss and a Rose Gold Foil Table Number that we trimmed in water color succulent paper and then placed on a Tall Gold Spiral Place Card Holder.
This was flanked by two Square Faux Succulent Centerpieces and two more Gold Terrariums filled with Moss and Gold Foiled succulents.
White Taper Candles held in place by gold-painted Floating Unity Candle Holders were trimmed with natural greenery and gorgeous, pink garden roses to bring in a lovely pink hue.
The Place Settings:
Each elegant place setting consisted of a White Dinner Plate with Gold Edging, a White Dessert Plate with Gold Edging, topped with our DIY Succulent Place Card.
Miniature succulents from Hanging Succulent Jars were placed in Moss filled Small Cake Domes and topped with a personalized name card for each guest in attendance of the evening's event. You can find our full tutorial for this DIY here.
The place setting was accentuated by a Pink Beverage Napkin, Metallic Gold Cutlery and a Gold Rimmed Plastic Wine Glass filled with our delicious Pomegranate Cosmopolitan.
This subtly sweet apertif is delightfully fruity while still maintaining that classic cosmopolitan flavor. You can find our recipe for this cocktail here.
The Cupcake Bar Cart:
We wanted to incorporate succulent cupcakes into our wedding, while still maintaining that that chic and elegant feel. Our friends from Katie's Creative Baking came up with the perfect cupcakes that looked stunning on our DIY Cupcake Display.
We took a few Cupcake Pedestals and added a coat of gold metallic paint and then adorned them with some Gold Foil detail. We then made our own cupcake wrappers by cutting the Party Porcelain Paper Doilies along their outer edges and taping the ends together.
We love the vintage feel it added to the cupcake display. And they looked even more lovely atop a White and Gold Foil Gift Box.
We used a modern, gold bar cart for our display and incorporated numerous pieces of faux succulent decor including, succulent-filled Terrariums, Square Succulent Centerpieces, Small Round Glass Vases with Succulents and a few White Rose Votive Candles.
