Minhee of Paper + Cup

Our mini-interview this month is with the exceptionally talented Minhee of Paper + Cup. Her darling school-themed wedding was featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, and her lovely, creative stationery designs are all over magazines and the blog world. Today, she's here to share some tidbits about her wedding day with us!

What is the best piece of advice you received about planning your wedding?
The entire wedding experience is almost like a big happy blur! I do remember a friend telling me that it's not important that everything gets done perfectly, but what's most important is to enjoy every moment together with Truman [the groom]. It was so easy to get stressed out and overly obsessive about every little detail, but we tried hard to keep each other grounded. After all is said and done, all we are left with is each other. It doesn't matter if the flower girls' dresses are the perfect match to my flowers, napkins and whatnot! We learned to just go with the flow and have fun even when things didn't work out.

Now that your wedding is over, what is the best piece of advice you can give to brides?
Planning a wedding shouldn't consume your life for that period of one year, or however long you have. I wish I had more time to enjoy being engaged (we only had a little less than four months!), but in a way it was good for us, because I know how crazy I can get! During our short engagement, I learned to edit very fast and decide on things quickly. One piece of advice I'd share is to pick a theme, and make it a meaningful one. This helps you from getting side-tracked by so many endless options that can really take up so much time and energy.

What is your favorite photo from your wedding and why?



This photo of our nephew Joey and our niece Amanda was taken while everyone was busy mingling outside the tent. I love the expression on Joey's face - it's just pure happiness and you can tell that Amanda is smiling too. It just melts my heart. Kids were a big part of our wedding since we had a vintage school theme, and it was important that they enjoyed it as much as the adults did.

Thank you so much to Minhee for stopping by Snippet & Ink today. Minhee's wedding, her stationery, and her blog are such great sources of inspiration for me, and I always look forward to whatever new projects she has in store. If you haven't already, be sure to stop over and check out Paper + Cup, and definitely add the blog to your Reader!
