If you prefer a natural atmosphere♡

When it comes to flowers popular among brides who love natural and rustic weddings,

☑︎ The iconic flower of Africa, "Protea," which is derived from Greek mythology, and

☑︎ The trendy dried flower that looks like burning pampas grass, "Pampas Grass.”

Both are very well-known floral materials.♩

In addition to these two, the third recommended flower is "Cotton Flower."♡

About Cotton Flower*

As the name suggests, the Cotton Flower is a flower of "cotton."

Cotton is that fluffy cotton we all know. It blooms flowers resembling hibiscus in the summer and then produces cotton balls around September and October.

(Here is a cotton flower!)

By around winter, dried cotton balls start appearing in flower shops on branches.

When I see cotton flowers displayed in front of stores, I feel that "winter has come," as they signal the change of seasons.

Can be used as wedding flowers♡

Cotton flowers serve as a heartwarming supporting role with their fluffy and soft appearance. The combination of pure white cotton and brown pods creates a charming effect, making them perfect for wedding decorations and items.♡
