I adore succulents. I’m becoming obsessed actually. While considered a bit like a cactus, with the little water they need, succulents don’t look out of place in a Southern home. We have a concrete pot in the North Carolina mountains filled with succulents. They’ve been there for decades and no one does anything to them. They stay outside year round and they continue to flourish year after year. This no fuss attitude makes them dear to my heart. Happily, succulents look equally at home with both traditional and modern decor. I think they are like a piece of coral in their ability to look at place where ever you put it. Here are some of our favorite ways to add the succulent look to your everyday life:

- I’m wondering if Nest Nashville might have any succulent decor on sale during their annual 20-75% off everything sale. It’s going on through Feb. 3rd and is a completely fabulous shop. Stop by Taco Mamacitas, next door, and you’ll be glad you made your way to the Edgehill Village shops….

Elizabeth and Liza,
Gorgeous succulents all!
Add the website, http://www.oncewed.com to your wedding file! It has a menu of wedding styles: elegant, modern, funky, DIY, humorous, etc. You can even cross reference those by color.
I learned about this after our daughter's wedding when their photographer posted some pictures on it. To see those, go to: http://www.oncewed.com/12800/wedding-blog/real-we...

Elizabeth and Liza,
These are lovely! The pillow is drool worthy.
Thanks for sharing your excellent findings. I am very much enjoying your posts.
One of my favorite succulents: echeveria. Google images and you will see many varieties.
And Susie – your daughters wedding dress, so romantic. Lovely all around. Creative family you are!

Beautiful! Succulents were NOT on my radar, but they are now! I just love the ideas you two find and share. We need these happy and fun gems you unearth!
Thanks for your visit to hill country house today! I am dying over this post! I love succulents and your photos are amazing. Yes I want that pillow and just about everything else you have featured! I may have to do some serious shopping online, and can't wait 'til my next Nashville visit to go to Nest. Thanks for a great post – so happy I found you.
Girls, you are right on the money! It just so happens that succulents will be a big part of Nest Interiors look for spring! And if you haven't been to Elle's Marche des Fluers, you are in for a serious treat. Elle has the most incredible selection of succulents in Nashville!
