Weddings are a celebration of love and friendship, and although a small wedding favor gift-to-guests is common I don't usually think of weddings as potential sites for freestyle ingredients. Maybe some of you have gone home with a lovely cut-flower centerpiece arrangement in the past? Well, at the ceremony of two dear friends over this past labor day weekend I saw something new-to-me in terms of wedding floral design,
a succulent themed flower scheme. The bride had epiphytes (aka "air plants") in her hair, and all the bouquets were made out of small rosette-type succulents.

When I was complimenting the bride on the absolute coolness of this idea, she told me to take one when I left. So thanks to K&F for having part of their wedding transformed into a Cambridge Freestyle first!

Ok, the sharp-eyed among you might note that there are a few non-succulents in the mix; e.g. calla lily, yellow orchid, ivy, some other leafy stems I can't identify, and mosses! Such beautiful mosses. While I didn't want to deconstruct such striking centerpiece the plant-grower in me wanted to get those succulents out of the florist foam and into the dirt. We'll get to those in the next posting....for now you'll just have to enjoy the vase arrangements that Creative Roommate put together with the pieces I couldn't replant.

Here's to you K&F: wishing you life, love, and freestyle!
