"We wanted something really whimsical and dramatic," says bride Lauren Virden, who worked with event designer Jesi Haack on the ceremony display. "I had a photo of paper flowers in my wedding-planning file, and we decided to make an arch entirely out of paper." They fashioned hundreds of pinwheels from patterned paper from a local craft store; Jesi added colorful kites and giant paper flowers in the center of the display. "As we drove up the hill to the ceremony venue on the day of the wedding, I spotted a giant mass of color in the distance," says Lauren. "I gasped when I realized it was the arch—it was more dramatic and beautiful than I could've imagined." Event design by Jesi Haack Design
