Christina and Peter

mwa101753_sum06_couple02.jpg

When Christina Kramlich took her dog to the vet, Peter Bowie, it was love at first sight. After their first meeting, Peter spotted a meteor shower on his way home. "I definitely pay attention when there are shooting stars," he said.

The Ringbearer

mwa101753_sum06_ringbearer.jpg

The ring pillow is held by Peter's nephew Alec Bowie. The pillow was made by cutting the border of a moss-green Ultrasuede pillow with scalloping shears; dots were added to the light-green Ultrasuede overlay with a Japanese screw punch. The rings are tied on with a green-and-white satin ribbon.

Tables

mwa101753_sum06_table.jpg

Instead of a floral centerpiece, a cake graces each table. Also on every table is an individual guest book; three sheets of card stock were folded, sewn at the crease, and backed with bookcloth using double-sided tape. The table number was printed on card stock and tied to the book with ribbon woven through slits at the edges.

Favors

mwa101753_sum06_favoropen.jpg

For favors, a quote was written on Japanese rice paper, which was rolled up and tied, then placed in heart-shape dishes made by Christina's aunt. The box cover mimics the ring pillow.

Cake No. 2

On each cake, an embossed outer layer of Valrhona white chocolate covers a coating of white-chocolate buttercream. The baker used organic ingredients to create two flavors for the cake layers inside: chocolate butter cake filled with an espresso Bavarian cream, and lemon pound cake filled with lemon sabayon.
