Editors' Pick!

Submitted by: MRS. Greggy (Bride)
Wedding date: 08/30/2008
Wedding location: CD

The centrepieces were all handmade by the Bride. They consisted of small baskets - stained and filled with soil and wheatgrass. We inserted a PVC pipe in the middle and wrapped it with a bamboo placemat that was also stained. We filled the centre with gravel and put branches in the middle. We attached floralytes to pink and white paper lanterns and hung them from the branches. We asked our venue to turn the lights down so that it was darker than usual..and the centrepieces lit up the entire room!!!

To keep with our cherry blossom/garden theme, we placed all the placecards on a bed of wheatgrass which we planted about a week before the wedding!!!

This is a picture of the Bride and her bridesmaids and MOHs (there were two MOHs). Instead of flowers, bridesmaids carried a fan coming into the ceremony, and a paper parasol coming out of the ceremony; all of which displayed the Cherry Blossom Theme.

For our favours, we used Asian takeout boxes - wrapped some in Green Ribbon, and some in Pink Ribbon (our colours), and alternated the stickers to offset the colours - pink ribbon, green sticker, etc. We filled our favours with 2 tins - 1 with a Spice Rub, and the other with a Vanilla Sugar, which the Bride handmade!!!
