Okay, so a few weeks ago, I didn’t even  know what the term “pomander” meant. Today, they’ve become embedded on my radar since, when you’re on a mission to plan a beautiful but BUDGET-friendly wedding, cute DIY options such as this can become an obsession, and a solution! If you’re like me & haven’t heard of pomanders before, or could use some DIY deco inspiration as well, consider yourself schooled:):

Thanks Martha Stewart Weddings via Engageology for this beautiful scene!
