So Succulent

So, I was trying to edit a post for Weddingbee, only to realize I drank a little too much wine to edit coherently.  I wisely logged off of that blog, since the audience is much bigger over there, and opted to write a post here instead.  You're welcome, friends.  Also, I love you all (no, that's not the wine talking).

About eleven months ago, this happened:

One of the many elements I had to have in our wedding day were succulents, I think they are such beautiful plants.

We spent a lot of time and effort growing these succulents to use as decor for our wedding, and I knew I wanted to bring some of these plants with me to DC.  My husband and I both brought a plant in the milk glass containers we used at our reception to decorate our work spaces, but I knew I wanted to do something more as well.  

What I really wanted to do was something like this:

Can you say AMAZING!?!

Seriously, I'm in love with this succulent wall.  But, if you recall from my last post, our tiny apartment in a high rise is not very conducive to such a beauty.  So, I scaled my dreams down.  A lot.  I found this tutorial to make something similar on a much, much smaller scale and decided to half ass follow it.  

With the help of my husband, we made this:

And, from the side:

It's not quite a succulent wall, but it is a little part of our wedding living on with us.  And one day, when I have a succulent wall (I will have a succulent wall) I can add our wedding succulents and remember the beauty that was our wedding day (insert collective awww here).

Who else wants a succulent wall?
