Martha Stewart Weddings, Spring 1999
These rosette-shaped 'Echeveria' resemble a favorite cut flower, but the similarity ends there. The endurance of the succulent plant is unequaled and will leave guests with a lasting and easy-to-care-for reminder of your wedding -- all they need is good drainage and sun. Plant pots that have been primped for the occasion, then line them on a tray like rows in a garden. Sponge-paint 2-inch-diameter terra-cotta pots; let dry. Fill planter with potting soil, plant succulent, then tie 5/8-wide double-faced satin ribbon in a bow below lip of planter.
These succulents plant pots are wonderful. Another favorite of ours is the TickleMe Plant Party favor. Memorable like the succulent and in addition TickleMe Plants close their leaves and lower their branches when tickled. Guest will call you to share their excitement when their plants first move or they produce their cotton candy like pink flowers. You can see a videos and supplies at www.ticklemeplant.com
