Look! Our wedding colors. Lovely aren’t they? Hubbie really was right with his choice of colors. =)

orange and lime green
Cashew escort cards
In my previous post, I said in a heartbroken tone how it may be seemingly difficult for us to have an origami of airplanes, let alone a hundred or more origami airplanes at that.
But I felt a bit better when I came across this idea. We can pack some cashew nuts and have them as our escort cards. Having the cashew nuts would be more meaningful for me and Hubbie. ^_^

Wishlist: Airplane escort cards
NB by Wifey, Dec 1: I was wrong after all! Hubbie knows how to play airplane origami! yey!
When I saw this on a wedding magazine, I just can’t get my mind off it. My wedding coordinators (Detalye) are gonna provide our escort cards and although I haven’t contacted Erika about this yet, I know it’s a tall order so I really wouldn’t strongly request that they provide us this.
But origami-crafting are really not among the talents that Hubbie and I have hence, I may have to add this on my (insane and seemingly impossible) wishlist being – lovely to behold, but too impractical to obtain.
wedding centerpiece inspirations 2
I’m on a blogroll today, yes. But since I’ve already found centerpieces that I like, I might as well blog them up for my future reference. Bookmarking it now and rummaging through all bookmarked sites later would entail lots of work hence posting them up now would be the better option (after all, that’s what wedding sites are for, right? although we want this site to not just be our wedding site but our site from wedding preps and BEYOND! hehe).
Again, all these were from Martha Stewart weddings site.
I would love to have each folded napkin be with a flower. For that romantic touch.
I so love this calamansi stand for our table name! The calamansi’s color bears our wedding pallette as well hence it’s just perfect for us.
And..I would love to have ripe apricot place cards. However since we don’t have one here in the Philippines (or it may be insanely expensive) or that importing it from Japan would have us dealing with customs and taxes, we may have to forego this. Green apple and orange would do the job though. ^_^
wedding centerpiece inspirations
When Macy (of K by Cunanan Catering) asked me what were my preferences for the table centerpiece, it was then that I realized I absolutely have no idea what my preference is. Of course there’s such a thing as trusting our suppliers – and K by Cunanan is one supplier that can be wholly trusted. However, I think K by Cunanan would appreciate it as well if they knew what arrangements I like so that then, they can work around my preference. And because of that, I love them even more so.
I have just started with researching for wedding centerpiece ideas and i’m sure there’d be lots more that I’d like later on. To start with though, I searched Martha Stewart (US) weddings ideas. And with this first step, I realized I’m leaning towards minimalist elegance.

I imagine the wood centerpiece above would have to be surrounded by small flower arrangements like any of the ones below, all ready for the guests to take home with them AFTER the program (READ: AFTER the program). The flowers should be in our wedding colors of course. And yes, don’t forget the candles, also in our wedding colors.

But oh yes, I do find succulents with flowers very lovely as well. The succulents can be the green part of our wedding color and the flowers would have to be different shades of orange.

Of course, I checked out K by Cunanan’s site and these were among my favorites albeit I like all of their arrangements.

Wearing a Kimono, the first time
When I went to Kyoto and then later to Osaka with my friends, we mulled on donning on kimonos and walk around the old town wearing our kimonos and of course take lots of pictures of us in kimonos. But what stopped us from renting is that these kimonos-for-rent comes with an exorbitant price, some at 50,000yen for a couple hours or so. Hence, in the last 9 years that I came and went in Japan, I never really had the chance to wear a kimono.
But it was a good thing I didn’t take on the chances I had previously. Because a chance presented itself to me when I visited Hubbie’s hometown, and this time, my “first time” was made even more special – i’d be wearing Okasan’s kimono, which she wore when she was almost about my age. Heirloom, ne? hehe.

"let's try it out shall we?"
tada!
The dressing up is actually for our family portrait. Will post the official pictures once they’re out.
Anyways, I’m thankful to Otosan for having captured this tender moment that passed between me and Hubbie.
yiihii ^_^. Admit it again Hubbie, you were so in love with me that day, ne? =D
And of course, I am very thankful to Otosan, Okasan, Obachan, Ojichan and Mayumi for making my stay in Takamatsu a wonderful one. Of course, it goes to say I’m truly thankful to Hubbie as well. =)
