Little did these former elementary school classmates know they would
grow up to be husband and wife. At their school-themed wedding, the
pair recaptured their school days with all sorts of nostalgic details
based on their affection for vintage items.
In lieu of bouquets, each of Minhee's bridesmaids carried a custom-made
satin handbags by Lauren Merkin with a prom-worthy white carnation
corsage and striped ribbon pinned to the front.
In keeping with the school theme, letterpress invitations, maps and
reply cards were printed on vintage notebook paper by Minhee's company,
Paper + Cup. Attendance reports asked guests to indicate who was
coming. All the components slipped inside a small manilla folder
printed with the couple's names and address label peek through the
outer envelope. A brown paper favor bag contained custom school supplies including a handmade journal.
Vintage lunch trays were for guest to collect their dinner
cafeteria-style. The wooden utensils were hot-stamped with the couple's
names, and paper napkins were rubber stamped with the date. Each guest's place was outlined in chalk on a roll of black paper. Red
artist's tape secured the corners to the tablecloth and single-flower
arrangements rested in milk bottles, lattes bowls and ceramic tumblers.
Votive candles illuminated paper bags trimmed with scalloping shears.
The bride and groom's parents stood with the couple for a formal
portrait. The mothers each wore a hanbok, which is a traditional Korean
dress. Self-adhesive photo corners were attached to the pages of a vintage
accounting book in advance so guests could easily slip pictures into
place. A table by the board held extra film and cameras, plus the guest book
and pens for attendees to write messages next to their pictures.
The newlyweds sampled the wedding cake decorated with sugar daisies.
