Vibrant Japanese Wedding

Yesterday I handed off items to one of the best mothers-of-the-bride ever.  She was SO lovely to work with, I'm sorry to see her go.

The family is Japanese American and that will be honored all throughout the wedding.  I don't know how many THOUSANDS of Japanese cranes they folded but they will be all over the place - purple, fuchsia & silver.  They'll be hung over the reception tables and scattered about the reception site.  The table markers and seating cards had to coordinate!

 

 

The tables are named after Japanese garden items - I did the lettering in purple brush and then did a thin fuschia drop shadow.  The English translation is underneath in a darker purple in monoline Italic lettering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love these seating cards - they serve a dual purpose.  The name of the table is on them, of course, and the guests are instructed to leave their cards at their place setting so the server knows which entree to serve (purple=steak, fuschia=chicken, silver=vegetarian, white=children)  The cards come from Paper Source, they have a fabulous selection of colors and the paper is a dream with which to work!
