Cherry Blossoms and Favor Boxes

I'm gearing up for the Ralston Hall Bridal Faire and I decided to create some favor boxes decorated with my clay flowers. Cherry blossoms came to mind and although the industry says pink and brown are out of style or not as popular, I think it's one of those color combinations that will be somewhat timeless.

Can you tell I'm ready for spring to be here? The cherry blossoms are already blooming in my neighborhood and it's not even March!

My dear friend and fellow DECO instructor/student, Denise Winkelstein (who also happens to be an event coordinator at the Ralston Hall), asked last year if I would participate in the Ralston Hall's annual Bridal Faire, but in 2008, I was so busy with moving from Hawaii back to California and a large wedding order, so I could not participate. She gave me a heads up that she absolutely wanted me to participate this year and so I agreed. I haven't yet made anything for it, but I'm excited about all the ideas I have to create pieces to wow not only brides, but also show Bay Area wedding vendors what I do. This is my first bridal faire as an exhibitor, since I started my company and I'm really excited. So if you're still looking for a venue for your wedding as well as your wedding vendors, definitely check out Ralston Hall on February 22nd!

They have a gorgeous lawn area to have your ceremony and the mansion's ballroom is beautiful. My brother got married there several years ago and it was such a beautiful wedding and reception.
