Ideas for asian themed wedding decorations?
January 29, 2010
Having wedding at japanese garden and dinner afterwards at japanese restaurant.
What ideas do you have for decorations that have an asian feel. My wedding colors will be mostly brown and green (a fall version… not lime or bright green) with pink accents here and there.
Also, any good websites to look at or shop on
I hear you! I am Korean, my husband is white. For our fall wedding, we wanted a wedding that had a slightly asian flair but not over the top. I had SUCH a hard time at first because all the typical wedding sites that have favors, decorations, etc had only over the top type of asian things – the bright red and black type. That’s not our style plus our color was chocolate. If you email me & give me your email address, I’ll be happy to email you pics of our wedding so you can see examples.
We picked out gorgeous Chiyogami paper that had small pink flowers with brown accents. We used the paper to accent our invitations and programs. It was beautiful! Here is a site that has this kind of decorative paper:

You can also just do a yahoo search for Chiyogami paper. We lucked out on the florist we chose. She was not only a great florist but was into doing arts & crafts to compliment her stuff. She went to fabric stores and let me choose 2 fabrics that had asian feels then she sewed table runners for every table (for the reception) and throw pillows for the benches that were under the arbor where we were getting married. It was a gorgeous and personalized compliment. The centerpieces for the reception tables was a rectangular clear glass vase with river rock in them and lilies tied with matching ribbon (that went with our colors). There was a gorgeous arbor in the gardens where we got married. She tied beautiful red paper lanterns and strung tiny white lights under there – we had a 5:30pm wedding. We had a tent at our reception and under there, we strung white paper lanterns. Everything turned out beautifully!!!! For our wedding favors, we chose these tiny chinese take out boxes (frosted color). We took that same decorative paper and used it to wrap around the box and then used personalized stickers to hold it together. Inside the boxes, we had personalized fortune cookies that said things like "thank you for coming" and such. Everything was gorgeous – an asian feel without the tacky red and black colors.

Where can I get a good deal on ghirardelli chocolates in bulk for wedding favors?
January 29, 2010
We’re thinking of stuffing the chocolate squares in boxes as wedding favors. Where would we be able to get a good deal on them? Thanks!
Costco sells those Ghirardelli squares in bulk, my future mother-in-law buys them in a big bag.
The problem with Costco is that not all the stores carry the same things… but I would definitely check there.
Also maybe a Gordon’s Food Service (GFS)… they’re not very common here in Michigan, tho.
What do you think about black wedding dresses?
January 29, 2010
How do you feel about black wedding dresses? I think white dresses with black detailing are pretty, but I can’t stand solid black dresses – too goth or funeral like.
What do you think? Thanks!
lol an all black wedding dress! That would be horrible! Are you marrying Dracula? Now a white dress with black accents would be ok

The Invitation
January 29, 2010
A sequel to last year’s “Love Letters.” This time Natasha is the star as she tries to come up with the perfect wedding invitation.
We burned this animation onto DVD’s and sent it out as our actual wedding invitation. It took nine months to complete, and was produced entirely as part of a group project class at the Art Institute of California – San Francisco where I’m an instructor of animation.
A big thanks to all my students, who did an incredible job (you guys rock!), and to my fellow faculty and staff who’ve been so supportive.
*Note – To everyone who posted about the date of our wedding: it was on the 30th of June, NOT the 13th. It just looks like thirteenth because of the small size of the video. Oh, and the wedding was this past summer, not the summer of ’07. (Not that we wouldn’t have LOVED all you YouTubers there.)
