When I met with my bride Jackie and heard about her wedding details to fiance Hirsohi Saka, I was instantly excited. Jackie and Hiroshi, who is Japanese, incorporated the Japanese tradition of hand making "Paper Cranes" into their ceremony. As the tradition goes, when a couple folds 1,000 paper cranes, they will receive a blessing - a long and happy marriage; since the act of making the origami teaches the two patience and teamwork. (Um, yes, yes it does.)
So, yes, the two folded, tied, AND strung 1,000 Japanese origami paper cranes creating a "curtain" that would hang behind them as they said thier vows.
Coinciding with the strong lines of the paper cranes, Jackie wanted lots of modern elements and clean, contemporary details for her big day. The venue she chose fit the theme perfectly, "Nylo" in Los Colinas"!
She chose a cake, executed to PERFECTION by Heidi, at "Sugar Bee Sweets". The geometric wedding cake was a definite favorite of mine, as I had never seen one like it! Alicia with "Bows and Arrows" delivered beautiful blooms and grass that lined Jackie's custom graphic aisle with candlelight.
Guests flew in straight from Japan and even wore traditional kimonos. It was absolutely gorgeous!
Enjoy some pictures from her day with photos from Amanda of, "Backroad Photography"!
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Saka - I hope you always take the time to laugh, love and DANCE!
