About Me: I never dreamed about my wedding as a little girl because I was too busy playing in the mud or pretending to be Martha Stewart–but now that it's here, I'm having a fabulous time DIYing everything in sight! We’re planning a very fun multicultural wedding (I'm Jewish and Mr. Cream Puff is Chinese), filled with as many personal details as I can muster.
The Chuppah (And Other Ceremony Decorations)
June 9th, 2008 @ 5:25 pm by 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!!!

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

Oh. My. WORD. I’m speechless. That’s hands-down the most amazing chuppah I’ve ever seen. Breathtaking is the right word!
Wow! That chuppah looks like it’s going to be incredible! I loved the video - can’t wait to see it all setup!
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.

Cute video (love the golden!) and the lanterns look great!
