For fall, winter and rustic wedding ideas, fresh cut cedar is ideal for centerpieces, wreaths and garlands plus it provides a fabulous fragrance. Visit Flyboy Farms at http://www.flyboynaturals.com/fresh-cedar.html where you can purchase direct.
We also love these unique chocolate brown invitations with white overlay, tied together with twisted lokta cording. Lokta is a native shrub in Nepal, harvested by cutting the stem, which regenerates in a few years. The inner bark is soaked and hammered, then spread into thin sheets and dried by the sun. The cords are naturally colored using vegetables dyes and after making a simple tie, the ends are unwound to create a beautiful leaf shape (74¢ each, order at http://www.formal-invitations.com/AOT-CHOC-CEDR.html).

Feathers are a chic trend and we used the idea to create these new stunning wedding invitations.
