More Than Firewood

Wood accents are a beautiful, natural way to add to your decor. Whether you've planned an elegant affair or a casual rustic get-together, you can include branches or logs as inexpensive and eco-friendly additions.

A slice of wood, sanded smooth and embellished with a ribbon, makes a charming and easy-to-carry alternative to a ring pillow. Unlike a traditional ring pillow, which is typically made from synthetic material and purchased for one short use, this one can grace your home as a reminder of your special day, or be used as firewood after all.

Often the type of wood used makes a difference in matching the style of a wedding. Birch, when cut and repurposed as a place card holder, makes a more elegant addition to your table decor.

Don't limit your use of wood to just logs. Branches, easily collected from the ground during the winter, can be arranged with flowers or ribbon detail to create beautiful decor pieces.

Consider using these types of sprays to decorate a chuppah or canopy, as centerpieces, or at the end of ceremony seating rows.
