Welcome guests with a paper flower arch way. Create a paper flower chandelier to hang over your heads as you say your vows. Tie paper flowers to each chair or church pew. Create a floral arch or hang masses of paper flowers to frame your ceremony spot. Create paper flower boutonnieres and corsages. Carry one large paper flower instead of many small ones. I love that one simple thing that we use every day can be turned into something stunningly beautiful.įar from being a DIY only option, there are plenty of artisans creating incredible paper flower features that you can purchase for your own wedding. Small scale, to giant and overwhelming – the intricacy and delicacy is entirely customisable to your own wedding and its style. Paper flowers are such an incredible way to decorate your wedding and the picture above, which has been one of my favourites for a long time shows just how breathtaking they can look.įrom chic candle lit backdrops in one hue, to bright and bold posies, arches and table centrepieces.

The group effort just made us feel so loved, supported and pumped about our big day instead of stressed! We had so much help and support from friends and family (since we were planning the wedding from Rwanda!) and that just made the planning process so much more fun. 
Be expressive and creative and YOU! Don't be afraid to be too bright or too colorful or to cut your dress! Also, get as many people involved as possible. My advice for those planning right now is to feel free! Don't conform to tradition if thats not your thing. I loved it more than anything I saw on the rack! Then we cut out the appliques to construction a snazzy new back and straps.
I sat with the seamstress for hours drawing out my ideas before we got it just the way I envisioned it! We removed the under layer of the dress that had lace appliques on it. Big congrats to Caitlyn + Joe and thanks so much to Rylee Hitchner for the photos!įor my dress, I decided to buy a slightly less expensive one so I could make it my own. Their wedding took place at the beautiful venue of Cedarwood Weddings in Nashville (the bride’s hometown) and their outdoor ceremony was perfect (especially with the giant paper flower arch Caitlyn and her friends made) for their bright fun vibe complete with lawn games + burgers. They wanted their wedding to be a colorful, casual celebration where they could just be comfortable and enjoy the time with friends + family (especially since they rarely see them!). Thus they knew from the get-go that they wanted to have some east African flair at their wedding! They did this by using Rwandan fabric or igitenge for – well everything! For the two years leading up to their August wedding, Caitlyn was in the Peace Corps in Rwanda teaching at a large government high school in the village, and Joe has lived in Kenya for the last four years doing sustainable and social business with internally displaced people with an organization called Uhuru Child.
