A Bouquet made of Cotton
July 19th, 2010 by The Broke-Ass Bride
I have but one thing to say about this. Flowers Schmowers, yo!
Yes, its made of cotton. Cotton, people!
And it couldn’t look more splendid if it were made of clouds.
My mind is flooded with a million ways to use cotton, in all its inexpensive, natural, unexpected glory, for weddings. What would you do with it?

It could probably make some nice center pieces
i agree with carolyn, it would make some nice center pieces, but i think it would also look good as hair decorations for the flower girl and bridesmaid….but thats just me thinking out loud.
I'm feeling this – so soft and organic. Great boutineer too!
love love LOVE this idea…I have never thought of it. It would be so sweet and unusual!
Where can you get the cotton ball "stems"?
Oh my! That bouquet is just gorgeous! I love the hair piece idea, and could see cotton bunched like this used as a cake topper, too.
It actually looks like it is made of clouds! You could carry the theme on in quite a few places, as well as the ideas above I would love to do something with cotton for place markings.
Agreed!
Oh that would be lovely! Great idea.
Yes! Perfect!
Right? I can't get over it. Maybe paired with some simple babies breath?
I'm not sure… maybe the flower mart? Good question!
Oh, a cake topper?! too cute!
I agree, the possibilities are limitless!
This could also be used to mimick snow for a winter wedding! Like mine!

I can't lie….my first thought was "slavery"…perhaps this stems from my career teaching history, from my time as a Sociology undergrad, or perhaps because I am a countrified, white woman marrying a black man in the south.
Cotton is one thing I haven't thought of as a bouquet material. Paper, buttons, whatever…never cotton. I want color in my bouquet so it wouldn't work for me. Plus, looking at it makes me sneeze. It does look soft though.
