Our friend and regular Wedding Essentials contributor, accessories-designer/crafter Ming Ong has a new collection under her Obra line called “Sakura”, inspired by the beautiful cherry blossoms she saw in bloom on a trip to Japan early this year.

Sakura a.k.a. cherry blossoms only bloom once a year, in spring, and they only stay in bloom for a week.

Ming is known for crafting her unique accessories by hand and for the Sakura collection, she uses thin acrylic sheets, a mix of fresh water and synthetic stones, velvet ribbons and of course her trademark copper wires. The accessories pictured below are varied styles of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, and hair clips.

She successfully launched the collection at last weekend’s Urban Bazaar in Rockwell and you can avail of the pieces at Backstage (Serendra) and online via her website. I think these would make great accessories for a Japanese-themed wedding or you can also get them as gifts for your bridesmaids. And because Ming makes everything by hand, you can even ask her to customize them for you! (Oooh, won’t a bouquet of her hand-made sakura look fantastic? Just an idea.) Shoot her an email or send her an sms at +63917-804-ming.
