Here we are again -- that beautiful, fleeting time when we emerge from the grayness of winter, and are greeted with with lovely pink sakura (Japanese flowering cherry trees). Spring is here!
Cherry blossoms in Washington, DC
Cherry blossoms have been showing up in wedding decor for years, for obvious reasons. Here are a few of my favorite applications of the cherry blossom theme:

Love the look of cherry blossom branches, but can't afford the real thing? Check out Martha's tutorial on making your own here. *Note: No disrespect to Martha, but I find this project works better with crepe paper like this than with tissue paper.
Even if you're not looking to incorporate cherry blossoms into your wedding decor, be sure to check out the festivals happening right now at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and in Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ.
Happy spring!
