Plethora of Pine Cone Design Elements

I typically just associate pine cones with holiday decorations. So if you're like me, you'll realize how naive you really were.  Pine cones are multi-functional, multi-faceted and thus, my love for them has multiplied exponentially:

Brilliant Boutonnieres

Look, I know all the attention is supposed to be on the bride (aka: me :) Trust me, I tooootally get it... but I only think it's fair that the other half of the wedding party gets to turn a few heads as well.  If you aren't into hats and want to steer clear of funky ties, jump head long into the flower thing (yes guys, I said flowers!).  Infuse your wedding colors, pick out a "manly" arrangement and let your guy strut a mind-blowing boutonniere:
