Cherry Blossom Joy ... Neat boutonniere

This Japanese-inspired boutonniere is neat and stylish. A single spray pinned onto a knot, that is created using a Japanese knotting technique. This truly reflects the simplicity and elegance that cherry blossoms represent.

Cherry Blossom Joy ... Favors for keeps

Pretty prints galore! Chiyogami paper and printed fabric are perfect for creating simple gifts. Wrapping wooden or acrylic bangles with chiyogami paper, dressing a notebook with cherry blossom printed fabric, slotting place cards on origami cherry blossom, and using beautiful kimono fabric for wrapping favors furoshiki style. Etsy has some worthy finds.

Cherry Blossom Joy ... Centerpiece

Cherry blossoms branches look amazing arranged on their own in glass or white ceramic vases. It's simple and chic. If you are lucky and can get hold of lush flowering cherry blossom, arranging them in hurricane vases creates a grand and spectacular centerpiece. There are faux cherry blossom branches that you can purchase, especially around the Chinese New Year period, but be sure to select the good quality ones, those look surprisingly real, and you can reuse them as home decor after the wedding. If a tall arrangement is not your preference, go with a floral arrangement of big blooms, and pepper the centerpiece with small twigs of cherry blossoms.

Cherry Blossom Joy ... Delectable goodies

This just looks too good to be eaten. Traditional Japanese snacks and sweets are such a feast for the senses. Very often inspired by the seasons and nature, these sweets pair wonderfully with Japanese green tea. Create a gastronomical experience for your guests with a small sample of wagashi, senbei and sencha, and they will be dreaming of days holidaying in Japan.
