About Mrs. Cream Puff

As some of you might recall, my mom and my aunt are creating a fabulous multicultural chuppah for Mr. Cream Puff and I. In my previous post, they were in the planning and experimenting stages. However, June is here and they needed to make the real thing! Unfortunately it was a lot more work than they anticipated (THANK YOU SO MUCH, you guys!!) but the outcome looks absolutely breathtaking. I still haven’t seen it in person! My aunt made this slideshow to document their 6-day chuppah-making extravaganza:

How awesome is that? I am SO excited. In other ceremony news, the lanterns for our shepherd hooks have arrived. Thanks to weddingbee reader Elisa’s referral, I was able to order these 8″ lanterns through Cultural Intrigue. They’re super high quality and really cute.

I also recently ordered some silk white gerbera daisies from Silk Flowers Express to stick into the ground and some lanterns (also from Cultural Intrigue) to shield people from the sun. :) I’m getting really excited!!!

Great work Mama and Auntie Puff!

How adorable is your aunt to make you a video of its creation??!!

And great music pick! I love Van– even his slightly-cheesy songs put a HUGE smile on my face! :)

Wow, everything looks so incredible! Do you mind sharing how much you spent for the lanterns? I am trying to do some shopping around and have checked out the Paper Lantern Store and Luna Bazaar already.
