We Fancy Cherry Blossoms

There aren’t many flowers that are more dreamy than cherry blossoms, and we have the photos to prove it! If the gorgeous pink doesn’t get you, the tiny, sweet nature of each little blossom will.

Cherry blossom trees make a fabulous statement at a wedding reception. However, due to their size and limited availability in the United States, faux cherry blossoms can serve as romantic accents for your stationery, cake and more. Between their size and color, cherry blossoms are a perfect answer to a spring or summer wedding theme. Enjoy the inspiration!

The delicate nature of these flowers make them a great choice for sugar or gumpaste embellishments for desserts. We especially love the contrasting color of the flowers over chocolate – yum!

Because of the cherry blossom tree’s tall nature, these trees make for striking centerpieces and floral displays.

Below witness the power of many cherry blossoms. This is a view of the trees in Washington DC; the cherry blossoms were given as a gift from Japan in 1912. This is one thing we’d love to see in person! What wonderful wedding inspiration.
