Succulents are simply perfect for a wedding. Not only do they symbolise enduring and timeless love, but they are available all year round and don't need the extra care and attention that more tender wedding flowers do. There are so many varieties of succulents in green, red, and purple shades, so you'll be able to perfectly coordinate them into the rest of your wedding decor. So, say "aloe" to our succulent wedding ideas...
