I've been talking to one of my brides this week who is having succulents as part of her wedding flowers and décor. I love succulents - especially great for more modern pared back weddings - and then I found some images on pinterest whilst browsing of Prickly Pear & Cactus used in weddings and I was hooked!
I love the laid back desert style of these ideas ... and I don't necessarily think you need to be getting married in the American South West to copy the look. I think cacti and succulents and a laid back boho vibe could work just as easily in a country barn wedding or in a sleek modern hotel with lots of crisp white linen.
