Using succulents is a trend that is becoming more and more popular in St. Louis. Succulents are small, star-shaped plants with plump, smooth leaves.

Four Different Bouquets
These are some great examples of different styles bouquets can have. We designed recently these for a wedding show we did at Scott Air Force Base.
