My sis-in-law is getting married next April, and wants 'rustic' displays of succulents in wooden log troughs (or similar) on the tables, also planted in big decorative letters, and in a few other displays. The ideas I've seen on Pinterest etc look gorgeous, but she wants me to sort out the plants themselves so she can just plant them up by at least early April next year. I think she probably has no idea how many she'll need - I think it's going to be hundreds, all told, in a few different sizes, and as many different colours as I can get hold of. She started me off with two trays of 'hens and chicks,' but particularly wants the pretty blue/purple succulents, that are not so hardy, and more awkward!
Anyway to cut a long story short - any idea how to get hold of many, varied succulents, as cheap as possible? Can anyone recommend a plant company?
I have a small collection of succulents and can propagate a few, but they probably won't grow quick enough? I can possibly propagate them to make some small filler plugs, but they aren't going to fill out into big plants that fast I think... Argh.
(I had no idea what section of the forum to put this in, sorry!)

I have now bought a few trays on eBay, ones which I'd be happy to keep myself should The Bride have a sudden change of mind...
