In traditional weddings, every girl should wear white, have something borrowed and something blue. If it were up to every southern girl, we would have something rustic too. We know that every state has it’s own flower, but in the south, there is a known regional “bud” that symbolizes southern tradition and heritage. This natural southern mascot can be found in wedding bouquets, arrangements, wreaths and jars. Cotton buds are gracing wedding guests everywhere with their presence.
Why Cotton?
Cotton has been a unique rustic touch for fall and summer weddings. Several weddings have even used cotton fields as a backdrop to their vow exchange. But what makes this crop so special?
- Though cotton is not a flower, it makes for a great statement piece in any arrangement.
- The brown and white color combination is great for any color pallet.
- Cotton is perfect for an extra special texture touch to any arrangement or bouquet.
- It also looks absolutely stunning with the southern rustic look that has been a huge hit this year.
How to Use Cotton
For your upcoming fall wedding, try something unique and rustic. It can be your statement piece or cotton can play an accent in any arrangement at your reception.
