How to Use Succulents and Foliage for a Fall Wedding
Fall wedding season is here and we’re dreaming of all the wonderful things that go along with cooler weather nuptials! Bring on the apple cider cocktails, maple and cinnamon donut desserts a fleece blanket favor, and who doesn’t have a soft spot for all things pumpkin? When it comes to fall wedding ideas, colorful fall foliage is great, and traditional wedding flowers are classic, but can we talk about incorporating some houseplants into your wedding decor? Who said florals should have all the fun anyway? Showcasing flourishing foliage and super cute succulents at your fall wedding will make your special day stand out from the typical autumn I do’s! Here are some of our favorite ideas on how to incorporate succulents and foliage plants into your fall wedding.
Fall Wedding Ideas with Plants
Fall Wedding Centerpieces and Accents
Combining differing varieties of leafy and vining foliage plants with striking succulents creates a lush and laid-back decor vibe for your big day. Start with a larger plant to be the focal point of your centerpiece and tuck in smaller greenery and succulents at different heights for interest. Trailing ivy and pothos and leafy ferns will make for wonderful non-traditional wedding plants.
Mini Succulent Wedding Favors
Is there anything cuter than a mini succulent? Your wedding guests will delight in the idea of bringing home their own little piece of your wedding in the form of a plant favor. These little plants are the perfect take-home gifts due to their petite size and durability. Mini echeveria succulents make for excellent favors as they come in varying shapes and beautiful jewel-tone shades of green, gray, purple, and red that are most fitting to coordinate with fall wedding colors.
Hanging Plant Wedding Decor
Dress up a ceremony or reception space with whimsical hanging plant decor. Add visual interest to empty wall space and create the atmosphere of a lush forest setting. How gorgeous would hanging plant decor at varying lengths be as a backdrop behind the bridal party head table or suspended above reception tables in a tented venue? Showcasing trailing leaves that actually shimmer, the deep purple, and green variegated Zebrina plant would make for luxurious and impressive hanging plant decor at your fall wedding.
Wedding Plant Place Card Holders
Help guests find their reception seats with adorable plant place card holders. Attach name cards by tying tags around mini potted plants or tuck cards directly into the plant foliage. Line your potted plant place cards upon an entry table and include the guests’ names and table numbers on them. Or these practical plants can be placed at each guest’s place setting. These multi-purpose name card holders can double as those take-home plant wedding favors!
