Trend Watch: Stunning Succulents

Here in arid Arizona, we're big on succulents.  They might not be exactly what you think of when you imagine a front lawn, but landscapers can do absolutely gorgeous things with desert plants.

So can florists.  I am really loving non-traditional arrangements using succulents.

I just love this opulent floral table runner mixing roses and succulents.   Gorgeous color palette.

And how easy would this favor/table card/centerpiece be to DIY?  It looks so striking and modern, but with a rustic edge.

And to carry the theme through the whole event, wouldn't these miniature succulent garden cuff-links make a fabulous groomsmen's gifts?

And don't forget the bridesmaids!  I just love this necklace, also from Woodland Belle.

I really, really want one for myself!  It only took 11 years, but maybe I finally am getting used to living in the desert!
