Welcome Board Idea

A welcome board is a board displayed at the entrance to a wedding venue.

At first, we had no idea, but while in NY (this summer), without expectation, we looked for a street artist in Times Square who can draw something for us. After looking for a while, we found a Chinese guy who drew something we want!!! His drawing was worth the money - using colors cost 25 bucks.

However, lastly, he suggested us to get a frame which cost us an additional 20 bucks! Is he a rip-off?! We thought for a while but we decided to get it because he was a nice guy. Also, we thought we need some kind of frame later anyway.

But he was right! The tool he used was charcoal so the drawing can smudge easily!!! I once tried to take it out from the frame but it smudged, so I realized it. I see some people who roll up their drawings, but I don't think they can take home as is.

Anyway, it's pretty fun to have your portrait drawn by a street artist for your wedding ;)

Disposable Camera

Another wedding idea here!

We set each guest table with a disposable camera for fun! Luckily, I found a perfect disposable camera for our wedding theme. You see, this Hello Kitty holds an apple in her hand = The Big Apple!!!

The quality of the photos are not perfect as compared to digital camera, but they have certain nostalgic output :) Now you can develop them on a CD, which is very convenient to browse! 189 photos came out successful. BTW, some people have forgotten how to use the disposable camera. You have to keep 1m distance between the camera and the object. he-he!!!

Our Wedding Reception Foods

Back to our wedding story again.

Without question, we catered chef Wakiya's fancy and healthy Chinese cuisine from "トゥーランドット遊仙境 - Turandot Yusenkyo" restaurant in Akasaka. They offer a new style of Chinese cooking inspired by the traditional food of Shanghai, Szechuan, Canton and Beijing. All dishes come with fresh vegetables. Very healthy and delicious! We once had his dishes at Turandot restaurant in Yokohama and fascinated by their fabulous presentation.

Our favorite dish is their fancy appetizer called "Nine Happiness"! Each is served with seasonal fresh vegetables and unique ingredients.

Their casual but fancy Chinese food just fit our wedding in the Park!!!

I'm glad everyone enjoyed :)
