Cherry Blossom Joy ... Just a little DIY

For many of us, cherry blossoms are not readily available, even the faux ones are hard to come by sometimes, so crafting tiny blossoms resembling the delicate flower is a great budget friendly way to create decor for the theme. This great DIY from Martha Stewart Weddings is easy, and you can create a similar arrangement for the table centerpiece. You can purchase ready-made cherry blossom confetti, or cherry blossom paper punches and create the tiny blooms in shades of pink. Have fun crafting!

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.
