10 Non-Floral Bouquets for Winter Weddings

If you're getting married in the winter, you can generally expect to receive big discounts from most of your vendors during this less-popular season. The exception — your florist. While you can save big by choosing in-season blooms, you still may not find as many budget-friendly options as spring or summer brides. Lately, we've seen many winter brides eschewing flowers altogether and choosing keepsake bouquets instead. Here, some of our favorite ideas. 

Pinecones

Using pinecones is a wonderful way to reflect the season. Add some pine branches, wheat, or flowers carved from birch to fill out the bouquet.
