Garland of cones can be a great decoration for winter ceremony as the path down to the aisle. Such as garlands,  with greenery and flowers, which can decorate guests’ tables instead of carpets. They can be added on elegant candles in high and thin candlesticks. Cones can decorate a wedding cake, putting it on the section of tree trunk.

The first and most important thing that you can make for your wedding is a knitted corsage of bride. These can be crocheted flowers. Instead of flowers, you can make a bunch of clews of different sizes.

Lovers of fresh flowers can choose more modest option - knitted ribbon for bouquet. Groom's boutonniere can also be made of a small clew. These "clews" of yarn can be excellent floral arrangements on the tables. Knitted accessories for brides will not only look beautiful, but also give you warmth. This can be a voluminous scarf, mittens or gloves. And maybe the dress itself!

Candles are traditional elements in almost any wedding decor, but in winter they acquire a special charm, as involving us into a home atmosphere (with a fireplace, armchair, blanket and interesting book). And what could be better than a feeling that you feel yourself as at home during your wedding ceremony? Candles and lanterns can not be just a complement to decor, but a full and self-contained part of it. Ceremony place can be garnished with lots of candles, and get an incredibly fabulous look!

Candlesticks can be classic or creative: empty bottles, pine cones, branches, balls of yarn, and etc.

Sections of tree trunk and firewood

In winter especially nice to use natural materials, you should not have many problems for finding them. Sections of tree trunk can be used as a "stand" for the decorations on the tables of guests and newlyweds.
