After saying I'd get back into recording my life at the beginning of the semester, I surely did not get to that. I guess it kind of helps to have a camera now.
I feel like I should have been keeping more records of the details of weddings our quartet has gotten the chance to play at. Each time I get more and more ideas and gain appreciation for wedding planners and coordinators and designers... So many wonderful decoration and favor ideas. Beautiful colors and locations as well.
From our day:
Things I loved:
- Some sort of Buddhist ritual (which of course I didn't actually know anything about) for the wedding
- Bride said her vows in Italian
- Quartet played 30 min pre-ceremony music (all "typical" wedding pieces, including Pachelbel's Canon in D, which the guests enjoyed plus Ice Castles, Fascination, and a quick arrangement of "The Prayer" - Celine Dion + Andrea Bocelli)
- Bridesmaids and bride walked in to the recorded version of The Prayer, recessional song was "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer
- Incorporated bride's occupation (research dealing with (endangered) plants and tissue culture) and took a "plant" theme: the centerpiece was "grown" (mini-garden with little blue fake frog perched on a rock next to a mini rock pagoda) and had self-done prints make from what I would say is... moss or fern of some sort
- Centerpiece given away by everyone opening little gift box - box contained a macaron (same blue, yuzu flavor!) - one box on the table had a different color (red - red currant flavor) which marked the individual to get the centerpiece (:
- Banzai! toasts with apple cider
We had a great lunch with delectable desserts and definitely had a chance to enjoy the people and the location. I was looking at the young girls attending with their parents (relatives of the couple), and thought, I wouldn't be surprised if they had the dreams planted within them to be married one day. I mean... seeing weddings like these, who wouldn't want to get married?
