For couples getting married in the DC area in winter, it can be a bit tough to find floral options that don’t cost a complete arm and leg. One of my favorite floral ideas for any season just happens to work perfectly in winter – raw cotton! These soft pillows of fluffy white cotton look gorgeous as a bouquet and stunning as boutonnieres, and can fit any wedding style from rustic to modern to the most formal black tie affair.

Raw cotton even looks amazing as a wedding centerpiece idea!

Your wedding florist can usually find raw cotton either locally or through a wholesale distributor – so just be sure to ask at your next consultation! And if you’re still on the hunt for a floral designer in the area, don’t forget to check out our DC area wedding professionals guide!
