Vertical Succulent Wedding Decor by Flora Grubb Gardens
After checking out the adorable heart shaped terrariums from Flora Grubb Gardens (love them!) that were featured on The Bride’s Guide blog, I found a product they make that I think I may love even more…
My new obsession for weddings? Vertical succulent gardens! San Francisco’s Flora Grubb Gardens sells DIY kits to grown your own vertical succulent gardens and you can join as many of their 20″x20″ panels together as you like. Just think of all the fabulous sizes, shapes and uses that could be created! Use one as the backdrop for your altar, your wedding cake, or your escort card display, or think of your very own creative way to make this larger than life piece of organic art work a stand-out at your wedding. Check out the Flora Grubb Gardens website and blog for specific purchasing and how-to information, and to see more of their ultra creative floral and garden designs. And by all means let us know if you create something like this for your wedding- we would love to see it!
The 2010 Bridal Collection from The English Department

The English Department (the Portland, Oregon shop and independent bridal fashion line) is always coming up with new loveliness, and this season they’re at it again. Designer Elizabeth Dye recently released her 2010 bridal collection look book and it is just about the loveliest thing I’ve seen yet this year. The dresses are simple and beautiful, the styling is peaceful and sweet, and the images by Lisa Warninger are simply divine. Love it! Take a look.
