Cherry Blossom Cupcake Flowers

It's been a while since my last post because I've been busy trying to fulfill multiple orders (both wedding stationery and flowers) as well as dealing with another winter cold. I wanted to show you some cute cherry blossom flowers. I only wish I had a Kara's Cupcake to use as my food model! The client contacted me via my Etsy site and originally she had ordered my famous gardenia hair flowers. She emailed me with some questions and also to see if I could make some flowers for her cupcake tower for her wedding. She sent me a picture and asked about pink hydrangeas or something like the picture she sent. I asked her if she would like cherry blossoms and she thought it would be perfect. So we did 4 dozen individual cherry blossoms half in a light pink and half in a more medium shade of pink. They will be inserted into each cupcake. I can't wait to see photos if the client wishes to share them!
I love cherry blossoms, yet they are so fragile and delicate. It definitely makes you feel like spring is on the horizon! :)

Cherry Blossoms and Crystals...

Cherry blossoms are another theme that continue to be popular among brides and they go great with those who want the pink/brown color palette! This particular client was very particular in what cherry blossom design she wanted, but we finally came up with a design that they liked. We decided to add some crystals to embellish the invitation and make it look a little richer.

We also added a wine/burgandy trim to the invitation because their bridal party will be wearing burgandy dresses.

They also had a lot they wanted in terms of information for their response card so instead of the traditional 3.5x5 response card we went with a 4x5 style which allowed them the space they needed! I also recreated the map we found off the Internet (that was my first one!) and I think it came out pretty well (not pictured here).

If you haven't been to my website since Sunday, you'll have to check it out. I've finally updated the Wedding Stationery, Real Weddings section and more! In the month to come I hope to have all my pages up-to-date!

Candice & Nathan's Wedding 12/1/08

This was a wedding I got via the Mauna Lani Resort's Wedding Department! Candice wanted flowers that would be flush with her cake, but that would match her wedding colors - wine/burgandy and cantaloupe/peach.

We decided to do cherry blossom cake flowers. The photographer for this wedding is one of my favorite photographers on the Big Island - Bob Brown of Eye Expression Photography! Thanks Bob for the awesome photos! You can see Bob's work at http://www.eyeexpression.com/.
