Whimsical Kite Themed Wedding

The first time I stumbled upon this colorful, creative, and wonderfully whimsical wedding in Jesi Haack’s portfolio I seriously gasped (as in audibly). I can’t imagine any other reaction to that amazing paper flower/pinwheel/kite installation on the ceremony arbor though… can you? =)

Beautifully captured by Ashley Rose and coordinated/designed by Jesi Haack, this gorgeous & unique Kite-Inspired Wedding is full of lovely, playful details (including a handcrafted “kite guestbook” and party blowers!) and – simply put – looks like a complete blast! Check out the fun, eclectic look to the tables and the fabulous balloon rainbow backdrop behind Sweet & Saucy‘s dessert buffet!

PARTY DETAILS, as told by Jesi

***

Invitations

We started with a kite. And BOY, did Posh Paperie NAIL it!  They even were complete with a cute kite “tail” that came off of the invite! LOVED THEM!

Tables

Crisp, white linen scattered with colored bird houses, and vintage milkglass full of whimsical florals by JL Designs.

Dessert Display

My Sweet & Saucy’s amazingness (as usual) with a backdrop of helium filled balloons creating our color scheme and funky decor style.

Guest Book

Hand crafted kite, covered in vintage fabric.  We also cut a bunch of strips of fabric for the guests to “sign” and then tie to the “tail” of our kite.  LOVED IT.

Ceremony Magic

TONS of handmade pinwheels, flowers, kites, and more covering the altar.  Sweet floral print fabric lining the aisle and pinwheels on sticks lining the chairs.  Mr. Haack was KEY in the ceremony decor installation.  It would NOT have come together so beautifully without him.

Party Favor

You wouldn’t have known it, but this was a 4th of July wedding, so I snuck in some fun party blowers.  I also sneakily handed them out to the bridal party to blow loud and clear when the newlyweds had their first kiss in the ceremony.  It ended up being one of my favorite aspects of the wedding!”

  21. Chris Komine May 2, 2011 at 7:53 pm

    Love the vintage vibe, but done in a fresh, young way!! Love the pinwheels everywhere, and how creative they were in using the kites and pinwheels! I just adore anything in the paper-folding genre! I’ve been obsessing on paper lace doilies this spring. I’m working on a luncheon theme that takes the lace doily right out from under the cake! Check it out…www.misspartysmarty.com

    I love the colors and the setting, almost a scene from the movie Up. Now I am craving a hazelnut chocolate cupcake…

  27. Jade May 8, 2011 at 8:50 pm

    Soooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!! I think it’s darn gawsh perfect

  29. Janan Whitmire May 16, 2011 at 10:22 am

    What a beautiful wedding. I love the simplicity of it. It is very fun, retro and chic all at the same time. Not your traditional wedding. That’s the best part!! I like when bride’s and coordinator’s think outside of the box. It adds such a special touch to your day. I’m a trendsetter and not a trend follower!!!

  30. Dublin May 19, 2011 at 2:57 pm

    Such pretty images, love her wedding dress, so cute.

  31. Mary of The Simplifiers: Event Planning May 26, 2011 at 7:51 pm

    Absolutely ADORE every little detail in this wedding…whimsical, playful, carefree and fun! Great job, everyone!!!

  32. Robyn Williams July 27, 2011 at 7:23 pm

    I just LOVE IT!

  33. Celia August 3, 2011 at 8:19 pm

    I loved the isle runner! Totally unexpected.

  34. Hillary Burns September 18, 2012 at 4:21 am

    Who created the bride’s lovely headpiece? It’s incredible!!!!!!
