Wedding Inspiration: What's A Wedding Cone? A Must-Have Wedding Decor Item & Easy DIY Project!

TAGS: E TOWN BRIDES, DIY, WEDDING CONE, INSPIRATION

You may be asking yourself, “What exactly is a wedding cone?” Well, it’s an incredibly multipurpose and inexpensive addition to your wedding decor that you can easily make yourself!


I made the wedding cone (below) one afternoon and styled it as a wedding favor by placing it into a champagne flute. It fit perfectly and looked great! All that's missing are the treats inside that could be wrapped in cellophane and tied off with a ribbon bow.


DIY Paper Wedding Cone


You can also use a paper cone to house petals or confetti and then distribute them at the ceremony to guests. These dainty cones are perfect for the reception snack table as a vessel for pick-me-ups and other goodies because they're the perfect size and shape for munching while mingling.
