Winter Wedding Obsessions: Balsa Wood and Pine Cones

There’s nothing more convenient than non-floral alternatives for winter weddings, specially if you live in areas with harsh winters. Their rustic look easily lends a vintage feel when combined with millinery flowers or other vintage inspired elements, all of which makes for the perfect vintage winter wedding decor.

    Yes, they come pre-made, and are very affordable. You can find in craft stores such as save-on-crafts.com
