The morning of the wedding day, my sister, maid of honor and mistress of ceremony, Jane, rounded up the girls and had them make all 38 centerpieces and the bride’s bouquet.
Jane had picked out local flowers from the market the day before: lotus and lotus pods, orchids, sun flowers, and eucalyptus. Other wild flowers and leaves were picked from the resort’s garden. Each centerpiece were unique. At the end of the reception dinner, we gave them away in exchange of donation for a scholarship fund toward the local schools. The oil lantern in the middle of each piece can be reuse.
Many thanks to all the help! These photos are taken by Jeremy Blakeslee on his beloved hasselblad camera (with real film!).
