    The Perfect Touch

    I ordered 150 succulents as my wedding favors. The Succulent Source was affordable and the quality of the succulents when they arrived were remarkable. None were damaged in shipping and they provided thorough instructions on how to keep them fresh until the wedding. They will even delay shipping if your event isn't for awhile.

    Perfect wedding favors!

    Okay, we expected these to be cute - but our succulents with gold votives and adorable little thank you tags were such an elegant and cute addition to our wedding! Who doesn’t love succulents, right?

    These succulent were a hit!

    I have no regrets about choosing the Succulent Source! They take note of the date of your event and ship you the succulents at just the right time. They kindly provided instructions on how to care for them and most of them ended up looking great even though we had them for about a week before the wedding. We would definitely recommend them to any one of our friends!

    Succulent Success!

    We ordered 130 succulents for our guest favors, and they were even better than we had hoped for!!! The Succulent Source provides you with all of the information you need in order to water and take care of your plants, and it leads to them looking magnificent for your big day. It’s been 6 months, and our guests still have their succulents!

    Wedding Succulents

    I initially saw the Succulent Source on Instagram & Pinterest, and just loved the idea of giving away succulents as party favors. However, I was nervous about shipping them from CA to WI. I went back and forth but then decided to order in May for our June wedding. I WAS IN LOVE! They were shipped and packed flawlessly, the were fresh, beautiful and the little "love" and "let love grow" favor sticks really brought my idea to life. I adore how they look in pictures and I love being reminded of our wedding every time I get a picture or "snap" from a friend or family member who shows me their little succulent growing strong. I highly recommend!

    beautiful succulents & awesome customer service

    The succulents were absolutely beautiful and everyone loved them as their favors. The tags were amazing and really helped tie in the theme of our garden wedding. We were a little upset when we were informed the white pails we ordered were on backorder and would not be available for the wedding. But instead we got gold votives that looked even better and were more expensive, but succulent source covered the extra cost and cost of shipping. Outstanding customer service! Highly recommend!

    Succulent Source provided the final aesthetic touches we needed for our wedding. From the custom bouttonnieres to the bouquet all of the products came fresh and matched just what we were looking for. We would happily do business again with Succulent Source.

    We received succulent corsages and mini succulents for centerpieces from the succulent source! They were all wonderful, shipped professionally, and very sturdy. The succulents from the corsages were able to be removed and transplanted and the bangles were able to be cleaned and worn as jewelry. The tiny succulents made for adorable centerpieces and were placed inside of china teacups, teapots, and sterling silver tea sets. We later removed the from the individual cups and placed them in a large planter to give to a vendor as a thank you gift. We couldn't recommend them more!

    The Succulent Source was phenomal! Ordered 50 succulents and they were all PERFECT when they arrived!! Our wedding guests LOVED them and my husband and I could not believe how absolutely stunning they were! I recommend the Succulent Source's products to anyone looking for a cute event favor, event decoration, or just a cute succulent to decorate your patio with! There succulents are top notch and their customer service is the best I have ever seen! I will most certainly be purchasing succulents from them in the future!

    We ordered 140 succulents as wedding favors for our big day. They arrived in perfect condition and right on time. I loved working with the Succulent Source for these wedding favors, and just love the plants they gave us. I'll definitely be going back in case I ever need more!

    I ordered succulents as favors via their Etsy Shop. Everything came in great condition and my guests loved their favors. Many of them are still mentioning to me what they have done with them after the wedding. It was a fairly affordable and thoughtful favor to say thank you to my guests, as well as, serve as decoration for the tables.

    The Succulent source was a wonderful company to work with. I made a bulk order for my wedding this past July and everything arrived on time in perfect condition. The company gives a lot of information on how to handle you plants. They also have very healthy plants and they where a hit at my wedding!

    The Succulent Source was amazing to work with! I called to place my order and they listened to what I wanted and made recommendations that would be cheaper and more effective. I love that they're a family run business and the succulents are beautiful! They have tons of videos on how to care for them and what to do when they arrive, and it was all very easy. I would absolutely recommend using them for a wedding, party, or even if you simply want some more succulents for your house. I plan on using them again!

    I ordered three months before the wedding as we wanted succulents to be our wedding favor. They provided me a estimated ship out date and they arrived about a week before the wedding. The plants were in excellent condition after having been shipped across the country! They were a hit. The care instructions were so very helpful!

    Succulents were beautiful and arrived to NY (from CA) safely! They were packed really well for shipping and made it to NY without any damage.
    After they arrived, we transferred the succulents to gold pails, which made a great addition to our reception tables. One thing to note is that the gold pails are really more of a brownish, dark gold color (not metallic gold). Most importantly, our guests loved them!
    I would definitely recommend the Succulent Source.

    We used the Irwin Family with Succulent Source on Etsy for wedding favors for our wedding on 9/13/14. We ordered 180 assorted mini succulents and 180 galvanized tin pails. We had to transfer the succulents from the small plastic containers they were shipped in into the tin pails. This process was long, but not difficult. The confirmation email provided clear directions with a video. We received the succulents about two weeks prior to our event, so we had plenty of time to care for them and transfer them before Wedding Day. We gave them a quick watering one or two times, but mostly let them sit in the living room. We placed each mini succulent on a square burlap placemat at each table setting for the reception. They definitely added some rustic charm. Plus, our guests loved them!

    The Succulent Source is amazing! My plants arrived quickly and safely and they were very accommodating to meet all of our needs. Our wedding guests loved the little plants and they looked beautiful on the tables and added so much to our décor.

    We were so excited when our succulent favors arrived! They arrived promptly, on the day promised and in great shape! They shipped from California all the way to New Jersey! They even grew after being taken out of the box and into some indirect sunlight with a little water. Our guests were in LOVE with the favors. We thought they were so unique and beautiful! They looked amazing all laid out on our place card table! We had excellent customer service from them and would HIGHLY recommend them!! We loved the succulents!

    I loved our favors from The Succulent Source. Being one who likes to check things off my list - i ordered my favors very early and was reassured that they would ship out the week before the wedding and that it would come in two shipments. Everything came perfectly as planned. The plants looked great and withstood the cross country trek with out issues. I would highly recommend them.

    The succulents we used as our favors were amazing. The quality was fantastic, and the lovely family at the Succulent Source was so helpful, even though we contact them somewhat last minute (our previous vendor fell through). The quality was fantastic, and when I went to pick them up, they even brought some extras to swap out if I wasn't happy with any of them.

    Instead of traditional flowers, we went with succulents for our wedding. We used them as table decorations and sprinkled throughout the venue. After a lot of research, we went with The Succulent Source. We ordered approx 120 plants and while we ordered them 3 months before the wedding, they were shipped to me 10 days prior to my wedding. All 120 plants arrived in great condition and every plant made it to the wedding. I cannot recommend the Succulent Source highly enough for bulk succulent plants based on the cost, customized shipping, and quality of the plants.

    The Irwin Family was a pleasure to speak with over the phone in setting up my succulent order for my wedding favors. I purchased everything over the phone with them and they provided very detailed instruction on how to maintain the succulents until the wedding day. They arrived just as expected, all unique and beautiful, and they were a hit with our guests. I would work with them again for an event in a heartbeat.

    I ordered 170 Succulents from this lovely company the week of my wedding and my oh my did they blow my expectations out of the water! They mailed all 170 of them, and around 5 didnt make the journey from California, which percentage wise is pretty incredible. I called them up and asked them to send some new ones and I received 12 new ones within 36 hours. Fabulous service.

    Great just great.

    Very loved and cute gifts!

    As the wedding date approached, I worried the succulents would not arrive on time. However, I was so happy to see how diligent and dedicated this company is. They carefully packed and sent the plants, which arrived faster than I expected them. While their website says to order two weekend in advance, the succulents arrived only five days after I ordered them (for reference, they shipped from California to Florida)! Very happy with the service.
    My one small issue was that once we replanted the plants to the silver pots we ordered, some plants came apart. So for any guests, be careful when transferring the plants! Besides that, wonderful and professional company, and looking forward to buying from them in the future.

    The Succulent Source was great! Succulents were perfect for my nontraditional wedding. They were responsive and extremely flexible. I would recommend them for any wedding or event!

    I am so disappointed in the customer service received from The Succulent Source! After connecting through Etsy with this company, we had conversations for over a month leading up to the time I planned to order a large quantity of succulents for my wedding. I even pre-ordered 5 samples to ensure the quality of the product. Now, 10 days until my wedding, they are telling me that they only ship out with Fedex on Mondays (so I missed my window) and any other shipping method will be significantly more expensive. I called The Succulent Source instead of emailing in hopes to find a quicker resolution. Darren return my call and was the most disrespectful person I have encountered through this entire wedding planning process. He continuously insisted that it was my fault I would have to pay so much more, even though important transportation details were left out of our previous 19 conversations. While I was working to find a resolution to this "miscommunication" Darren refused and said "at this point it would be best if you just take your business elsewhere!" I requested to speak to someone else in the company, he told me that The Succulent Source was a family owned business and everyone else would agree that they would not be able to help me and I need to take my business elsewhere. I tried to reason with him that my options were limited now that I am 10 days away from my wedding, but he continuously yelled, interrupted me, and finally hung up on me. I have never been treated like this before from a company!
