Cotton Wedding Bouquets & Centerpieces

Cotton Wedding Bouquets & Centerpieces

Want to add unique texture to your wedding bouquet and centerpieces? Try raw cotton! Southern brides have been using cotton bolls in their wedding flowers for years, and (much like Mason jars and seersucker suits) the rest of us are finally catching on! Although you could use cotton for many different themes and color schemes, it lends itself particularly well to rustic affairs. Above, this welcome table is decorated with woodcuts, twine wrapped jars filled with raw cotton, and vintage decor pieces. It creates a soft, neutral tablescape that everyone will be tempted to reach out and touch.

Cotton can work for any season. Use it to add fluffy white touches to an icy, winter centerpiece filled with ivory anemones, brunia berries, and dusty miller (above, left). Or take a summery pink arrangement and add raw cotton for a cotton candy effect. Go simple with a tiny bunch of cotton bolls in an antique bottle.

On the other end of the spectrum, tall cotton branches in a large vase (below) can create a massive arrangement, perfect for venue entrances and aisle decor.

As much as we love cotton in centerpieces, it is divine in wedding bouquets. Particularly if you are a bride that wants a non-traditional bouquet, cotton can really help tie your elements together. Below, this stunning bridal bouquet filled with succulents, berries, ranunculus, and tufts of cotton, is both modern and traditional.

An autumnal version of the same idea, this bouquet below is fuller with more greenery and fruits.

A Southwestern bride would look splendid with this stark beauty (above) that uses cotton to add more white and play against the texture of the crystal rosary. If you want to use cotton with more traditional blooms (below), it makes a fantastic filler in classic bouquets of roses and peonies.

Want a bouquet that will truly last a lifetime? This felted flower bouquet uses frothy cotton to give it a round shape and add to its neutral color palette.

The fellas will love a cotton boll boutonniere rather than the usual flower. Add berries or other flowers for a pop of flower or leave it all on its own!
