its in the details

some call it quirky,  some find it slightly obsessive, but, i admit, details at weddings always make my heart flutter with glee! here are some details from a wedding in Seattle that i attended at the end of march. this was a beautiful spring wedding with many intricate details of cherry blossoms and pink and green accent colors!

the bride added a personal touch by taking photos of numbers from her life and her husband's life and using them as table numbers. on the back of each the table numbers where stories of where the numbers came from.

for the sign-in guest book, guests were asked to write wishes, notes, and fun things for the bride and the groom. each guest put a sheet of paper in a numbered envelope. each number corresponded to a day in the first 100 days of their marriage! what a great way to keep their wedding memories going even past the big day! also notice the cherry blossom theme in the framed instructions and flower cutouts on the envelopes!? and of course the matching gray ribbon with the pewter dresses that the bridesmaids wore!

i love when the cake theme matches the rest :) wonderful spring cake with cherry blossoms made of fondant.

you can't see it in the picture, but the cranes have cherry blossom or some sort of flowers on them :) these cranes were used as seating cards for each of the guests and doubled as wonderful table adornments!

down to the lovely favors... cherry blossom embossed glass coasters and a beautifully hand stamped tag with of course... an embossed cherry blossom!

menu cards were backed in pewter paper with the themed cherry blossom stamp :)

the lovely romantic glow of candle light with lanterns and cherry blossoms cast a beautiful shadows of cherry blossoms on our table as the sun set for the night and the reception went on.

thank you for such a beautiful wedding j&h! often the small details that the bride sweats over for days and weeks and months don't get noticed by anyone but herself. so be sure to take a closer look the next weeding you attend and enjoy the small ways the themes and personality of the couple is weaved into everything. and tell the couple how much you appreciate all the effort and thought :)
