I snapped this photo at my mom’s the other day. It’s a wreath (duh) she made by tucking hardy succulents such as echeveria and sedum into a moss-filled wire frame. I just love the colours and textures. Maybe it’s just because succulents are so hot right now, but I can imagine this wreath fitting in with any number of architectural and garden styles, from cottagey to modern.
Here’s how to make your own.

That wreath is wonderful! What is it with moms and succulents? My mother also put together a doorway display (but not a wreath) of wonderfully weird succulents recently. Yea for moms with lovely design sense :)

That is so pretty… I have some succulents that need dividing, I should totally do this too.

So, I know you gave instructions and all, but can your mom just make one for me? It’s absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks you guys for all the great comments! I know my mom will be thrilled to know you love her wreath – perhaps she should go into business!
