I recently had the fortune of attending my sister-in-law’s wedding in Osaka, Japan. Because Vera had grown up in America and her fiance in Japan, their wedding, although Japanese, did not have all the formal accouterments of most typical weddings in Japan. It was a nice blend of East meets West, held at a restaurant and event space called Mitte.
Besides having had cried buckets at the wedding and eating some very delicious and amazing food, I was quite enthralled by the flowers!
The bride first walked out in her Western style wedding gown holding a lovely petite, asymmetrical bouquet of white roses and amazing, ruffly white cattleya orchids with magenta centers. Her up-swept hair was also accented with 2 beautiful cattleya blossoms. Here in the States, most brides go for small blossoms accenting their hair – think mini cymbidiu orchids, spray roses, or stephanotis. They might even use one large daring bloom like a peony or fully open rose. I loved the use of multiple large blooms in Vera’s hair – very dramatic and effective – and was not at all over-powering.
