The weather has been amazing lately so this weekend I did a little planting in my yard. One of the things I really enjoyed was planting a centerpiece for my glass top patio table.
I knew I needed something I could put a candle in, and the candle would have to be protected from the wind. I went shopping in my display closet and I think I found the perfect remedy…….
I only have one planter of succulents so I thought I would give them a try again. I first thought of using a rustic planter since I usually think of succulents with a rustic look. I personally like a bit more of an elegant look. The table needed a pop of white to bring out the trim in my cushions so this planter fit the bill perfectly.
Here is a close-up of the arrangement. I can hardly wait to sit outside this evening and light the candle!!
This was a pretty fun way to spend my Sunday morning!!!

Love succulents. I also love your idea with the candle in the middle. so pretty and perfect with your setting. You will really enjoy this. Mona
I love the arrangement you made. The combination of the planter, glass hurriance and succulents made it a perfect look for fall. I think I'll add a few succulents to my fall decor this year. Thanks for the inspiration.
Fabulous idea, Kathysue! It really is pretty with a lot of elegance! You are going to have a lot of people duplicating it!!

Well...laundry is on my agenda...not nearly as succulent as your gorgeous succulents!!
I love this!! I have never used succulents before but have always wanted to try them. It looks awesome! Happy Sunday!
Kathysue- What a darling arrangement! Love it and what a nice way to spotlight your succulents. You don't think the heat from the candle will bother them, do you? Hugs- Diana
Great way to use succulents. I like your hurricane in the center. Wish I hadn't gotten rid of mine last year. The white planter is perfect with your cushions. Happy Sunday.
Hi Kathysue
This is a thing of beauty and I hope you are enjoying sitting outside beneath the candlelight this evening.
In read DaniBP Mop Philosopher's post, I tried her receipe as I had a basket of ripe peaches and it is presently baking in the oven. My husband will be home from golf shortly and he will enjoy some.
Have a great week

What a beautiful and classic arrangement! I love the contrast of the white against the succulents. I'm a newish reader of your blog and really have been enjoying it these past couple weeks. Thanks for posting!
Oh Kathysue, it is so pretty. I love it. The succulents look amazing in the white planter and the candle will make them glow in the evening. Beautiful. Hugs, Marty
Kathysue, you did a beautiful job with your planter! The white planter really sets off your plants. I am sure it will look awesome when you lite the candle tonight. Thanks for sharing and giving us all another great idea.

I really like your white planter and the lovely succulents. I use a variety of succulents outdoors every summer and find them easy to grow. Your entire area looks very pretty.

Oh wow, I love that, Kathysue! I definitely would like to try it.
Take care,

Rustic is great, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with this one - love the nice healthy looking succulents. My all time favorite are Echeveria, but also have to say I like Portulacaria and Sedeveria too!
Hey Kathysue! I just wanted to tell you that I awarded you "The Versatile Blogger" Award! Stop by my Saturday post to see the details!

Very pretty...I love succulents and the addition of the candle is great! Have a happy day.(-:
Great idea - I'm going to pinch this one for my outside table for summer.
Brilliant with that candle in there!!! I just bought some at Home Depot yesterday and now I have to use your candle idea......
