DIY Cherry Blossom Confetti

Supplies:
Blossom Paper Punch
Tissue Paper in shades of Pink

Step One:
Punch several layers of tissue paper with blossom punch.

Repeat until you have as much confetti as needed.

Note: The confetti can be used on tables,

but also to shower the bride and groom with as they leave for their honeymoon.

Craft Punch: I used one that is no longer being made… but, you can find a great cherry blososm punch at the Scrapbooking Warehouse website!

Tissue Paper: You can use any tissue paper for this project but, I got mine at Paper Source

BIG THANK YOU

to Hostess With the Mostess for featuring this DIY

and to Capturing Grace Photography for taking such beautiful photos!

Yesterday I posted the inspiration board for this concept shoot.

Today…

THE PHOTOS!

Again, I’m so excited to be able to share these photos with you because I got to work with fabulous people and we worked really hard on this shoot! I have so many pictures that I thought I’d divide them into two posts. This post features what I’d imagine the head table could look like for this wedding.

The beautiful photography was done by my friend, and Portland photographer,

Aubrie LeGault of Capturing Grace Photography.

So, with no further ado… the pics!

The lovely bride (model Joan Stevens) is showered in cherry blossom confetti as she looks out at tables adorned with cherry blossom branches, tea lights and small arrangements of white carnations.

Low arrangements make it easier for people to see across the table and allow for more intimate conversations.

For the table settings we played with a mixture of traditional Japanese plates and a more modern look with the wine glasses and tall water glasses.

Cherry Blossom confetti (made from tissue paper) is sprinkled across the table and guests can find their spots by looking at their chopstick holders that double as place cards.

The happy bride shows off her white carnation and cherry blossom bouquet.

Check back later today for images of the dessert table and the amazing cake made by

Alicia Smith of The Sweet Smith blog!
