They’re beautiful, go well with any style, and never die – and they are affordable, eco-friendly, and preserve perfectly. Paper, wheat, cotton, yarn, and feathers are just some of the other ever lasting pieces that can be used alongside this flower for great texture in a Fall or Winter wedding (okay, Spring and Summer too!).

The balsa flowers add elegance to rustic bouttenieres and bridesmaids bouquets tied with twine. If you’re going for a more earthy, eco-chic feel look no further than balsa wood flowers. Stray away from the norm and carry a cascading bouquet of cotton, dusty miller, and assorted branches and foliage.
