{DIY} Cherry Blossom Branches

July 14, 2011 9 Comments Featured

If you are a fan of the Love in Blossom photoshoot that I featured a while back…

(and that was featured on Hostess with the Mostess)

then you were possibly waiting for these DIY posts!

**By the way, if you use any of these DIY projects I’d LOVE to see pictures!**

Just e-mail me at Jenni[at]awellcraftedparty.com

Well…with no further hullabaloo…

DIY Cherry Blossom Branches

Cherry Blossom BranchesSupplies:
Branches
Pink Tissue Paper cut into 1 inch squares
Pen or Pencil
Hot Glue

Step One:
The project works best if the tissue paper is cut several sheets of paper at a time and not as a single sheet— 5 layers of tissue paper work best.

Fold tissue paper squares on the diagonal. And then fold again similar to making a paper snowflake.

Round the straight side of the now triangle piece of tissue paper.

Put a notch in the center of the of rounded edge.

Step Two:

Separate the tissue layers and twist around the end of a pen or pencil. Step Three:

Placing a dab of hot glue on the branch attach the tissue paper to the branch using the pen or pencil.

Continue placing the tissue paper on the branches twisting the blossoms around the branch.

Notes:
Branches can be purchased on-line or found in your own backyard.
***There are similar projects featured on both the Martha Stewart and Good House Keeping websites. I certainly wasn’t the first person to think of this, but I do like how my project turned out.**Sources:

to Hostess With the Mostess for featuring this DIY

Love in Blossom Pt. 1

June 24, 2011 2 Comments Featured

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!

This Love in Blossom concept shoot was featured on Hostess with the Mostess!
