Succulents are no strangers at weddings: The earth-toned plants have long been popular floral decor, matching a variety of themes and styles. Whether succulents are used as a wedding favor, in centerpieces and bouquets, or on top of wedding cakes, they always stand out in the best way possible. But thanks to a new cake trend on social media, you don't have to just place succulents on your cake—they can be piped on with frosting, similar to how buttercream roses are made. (If you have your heart set on frosting succulents, just make sure your baker knows how to do them first—some variations are trickier than others.) Expect your guests to do a double—or triple—take at how real they look.

Scroll through these beauties below and get some succulent inspo for your own nuptials.

He prepared the best for you, and give them in time. So grateful!
