Succulent Themed Wedding in Santa Monica
If you’re a succulent fan, you’re going to love this wedding! Annie and Gero have a succulent garden at home and since Gero is something of a “succulent whisperer”, they incorporated them throughout their wedding.

The bouquets and succulent boutonnieres were created by Ann’s Flowers. The stems of Annie’s bouquet were wrapped with one of her mom’s handkerchiefs.

We love the chalkboard markers they used to designate the table numbers.

Instead of a big wedding cake, Annie and Gero had cupcakes with a small two-tier cake for them to cut. The cupcakes, by {love+cupcakes} are so cute!
