These are some vignettes I did for the Bridal fashion show at The English Dept.
At the top is a large terrarium (vase from West Elm). I started with a layer of small pebbles, then encased each plant in moss and tucked them in. A large echeveria succulent, a miniature violet, and a Rex begonia, and a few cut Green Tiger orchid blossoms all tidied up with moss. Below those pics are some separate plants I did in groupings - they are all in vintage silver footed bowls with moss as well. Amazing they are all still alive and well - some after 2 months and some after 3 weeks!

so didn't use soil just moss? where did you get it from?
I love terrariums so much..I made one with a maidenhair fern recently and it looks awesome.

Gorgeous! So unique and makes me think of my friend who is growing tiny succulents to give as wedding favors for her big day.
Posted by: Monica Yvette | March 07, 2008 at 05:21 PM
i would have never thought to combine succulents with african violets or begonias. it's so beautiful that i want one too. i just have to find the perfect vessel. that's the hard part...

Those photos are gorgeous!
I plan on making one of my own when the weather warms up.
I posted about it too:
