Perfect for a Natural Wedding: A Complete Guide to Making and Arranging Pine Cone Place Cards ☆

Pine Cone Place Cards are Adorable ♡

Using real pine cones as place cards is so cute, isn't it? ♩

Pine cone place cards utilize pine cones as stands by inserting the name cards, which serve as place cards, into the tops of the pine cones.

The natural feel and gentle atmosphere make them perfect for a natural wedding! *

{How to Make} Using Ordinary Pine Cones *

Pine cone place cards are very stylish and have a foreign vibe.

The process is surprisingly simple, starting from gathering real pine cones.

Some people use pine cones they collect, but they are also available at home improvement stores and online shopping sites! *

If you use naturally picked pine cones, you'll need to sun-dry them to prevent mold and insects due to their moisture content.

Pine Cones are Rolling and Unstable...

Since pine cones are natural, each one has a different shape and is irregular.

Therefore, they often roll around and are unstable even when placed on a flat table.

It requires some ingenuity to stand the message card up firmly facing the name part! *

There seem to be various methods, but a popular one is to create a flat surface at the bottom (the base) of the pine cone using a glue gun.

Spread glue on smooth cooking paper, stand the pine cone on the glue, and once the glue dries, you can easily remove it from the cooking paper to create a flat surface. ♩

Alternatively, some brides have glued felt at the bottom with a glue gun to use it as cushioning to stand it up! *

You Can Also Do Arrangements Like This *

It's cute to slightly modify and arrange the pine cone place cards instead of keeping them as is. *

For example, spraying a bit of white or gold spray gives it a winter feel like this! ♡

Decorating the pine cones with pearls or other embellishments is also a great idea! ♩

During the Christmas season, both 100 yen shops and home improvement stores often sell beautifully decorated pine cones at low prices, so checking those is a smart move! *

One bride DIYed such a feminine pine cone place card by wrapping cute threads around the pine cone. ♡

Perhaps because the pine cones are small, simpler thin threads matched better than fluffy yarn. This bride also changed the thread color according to the guest's personality! ♩

Create a Wonderful Natural Wedding with Pine Cone Place Cards ♡

Pine cone place cards are not only adorable but also offer a stylish foreign atmosphere reminiscent of natural weddings! *
