leaves |lēvz| noun. A leaf is an organ of a vascular plant and is the principal lateral appendage of the stem. The leaves and stem together form the shoot. Foliage is a mass noun that refers to leaves collectively. Without leaves we wouldn’t have flowers.

Overflowing foliage of all kinds are so hot right now. From my personal favorite ferns to bamboo and eucalyptus, all are starting to see their time in the sun! Which they actually need, lol. Whether the leaf is real, gold or even watercolor – we love them all. Their natural essence can be infused into almost any wedding theme you can imagine with a lower cost than flowers. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite “leaf” wedding details from around the web that will hopefully inspire the green thumb in you and your event!
