A cotton wedding

Bring agriculture to the wedding 

This past weekend the boy and I worked on a little more wedding planning. Location, guest list, etc. We also attended the Iowa Junior Hereford Preview Show - pictures to come.

I have been using Pinterest to help collect and gather wedding ideas. And although Cotton won't be apart of our wedding day decorations I still had to share this with you.

The bride and groom used raw cotton throughout their ceremony and reception. I remember seeing Cotton for the first time on a leadership conference in Alabama. At that stage the crop was flowering, and I thought it was one of the most pretty things I had even seen.

I love the boutonnieres for the guys. Did you know that Texas, California, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, North Carolina and Arizona are the top cotton-producing state - kidsarus.org

The cotton chains are probably my favorite part. How many of the guests do you think wore cotton that day? They would have fit right in. It actually takes 10 oz. of cotton to make one men's shirt, and 350 ladies knit & woven dresses can be made from a bale of cotton - a bale of cotton lint typically weights 500 lbs. - cottonsjourney.com

And did you know that there are wedding dress designers that focus solely on cotton wedding dresses
