The perfect accent for a rustic chic wedding is an accessory you can find almost anywhere in the U.S.: pine cones. Cute in bunches with sprigs of pine needles or scattered across tables, pine cones bleed Mother Nature and rural splendor effortlessly.

But, these natural elements can be more functional than just décor. Pine cones can easily become a fun way to display table numbers, name plates or food labels. And thanks to the Camille Styles blog, you won’t have to spend a fortune to have them at your wedding.
