I'm trying to figure this out too! I want about 100 to place on each napkin for placesettings. So far I've found these websites:

http://mountaincrestgardens.com

http://www.csucculent.com/

I can't vouch for any of them and they all seem rather "mom and pop" at best. But I'm going to try a Lowes or Home Depot this weekend and see if they can advise. If you hear anything, let me know!

Sure! I did end up ordering 100 from Mountain Crest and the succulents are lovely, although they were quite small when they arrived. About the size of a quarter. They all looked a lot more similar when they arrived (Mountain Crest told me that they would be a dozen each of a few different kinds of succulents.) As they've grown some have gotten much taller, some have sprouted little offshoots, and some have just gone nuts! It's not nearly as uniform anymore. And some of them have nearly doubled in size and are really lovely, but they are a much less uniform look these days. I'm not going to sweat it. A few of them are also looking kind of sad, but that's probably our own fault.

I'd say out of 100 succulents we have about 15 whose type isn't useful for our purposes. And we have about 5 who are sort of dying and probably won't be used, But we have about 12 new offshoots that are doing so well that they'll probably be useful as favors (even if they are a little smaller than the rest). So we'll just about break even. At the very worst, we'll go to Home Depot and buy an extra half dozen or so to suppliment what we have. But I'm happy with them!

Best of luck!

@almostmrsf:  Well... this is really tricky to say. I hate to say that my succulent experience was unsuccessful, but...

So, the succulents that we recieved from the grower were tiny, but lovely. We bought them in May for a Sept wedding and by July a number of them had grown, but not on size. Some had resprouted tiny plants aorund them (like a spider plant) and some had grown into a giant succulent ball that looked like 4 of them stuck together... but they couldn't be seperated without killing them.

In the end I bought 100 and ended up with about 35 that weren't dead. They were falling apart and most people thought they were a food garnish because they were so small. None of the half dozen that made it home afterwards survived. It was a bummer. (but not the end all and be all of my design so I wasn't devastated. If you're depending heavily on them, don't do it yourself!)
