Last week I participated in the floral showcase at the Wedding Cafe. These photos of my table were shot by the great photographer, Kris Labang . Give Kris a call to chat about your upcoming wedding or event. I love working with manszanita branches. These branches were full of white hydrangeas, red aranda orchids, coral roses & dripping with hanging crystals. The crystal & gold chargers, glass vases, linen & napkin decor are all available for rental from Designs by Hemingway.

I am in love with old vintage bottles & started buying them up like crazy. I have about 50 in my collection so far. I have been renting them out for some of my weddings and they look so amazing with just a single flower lining a table with a pretty linen or an organic table runner. These blues & greens are my fav as I am a big fan of sea glass colors

Last week I created this intimate beachside dining canopy at the beautiful Bayer Estate. One of my fav photographers, Dave Miyamoto, photographed for me. I designed the intimate dining canopy around a beautiful white washed distressed wooden table, a rustic manzanita branch with Juliet peach roses, sea shells, mother of pearl charger plates, dupioni silk napkins, hanging capiz shell curtain & chandelier, sea foamy blue & sand draping fabrics, & lots of throw pillows. It had sort of a shabby chic beachy feel which I love!!

I got bombarded with 4 weddings beginning Dec. 28 & ending January 4, 2010. This raspberry & eggplant wedding was one of our most colorful & fun weddings over the weekend. Erinn & David flew in from the snowy east coast to have their wedding reception at the beautiful sea side retreat The Bayer Estate. We created a fun lounge area on the beach front with sofas & benches, pillows, vases of floating candles, and tiki torches on the beach. Erinn loved chandeliers so we had several hanging from the beach side trees. Our raspberry uplighting set such a pretty ambiance as the evening settled in. These are photos from my camera but waiting for the photographer Suzanne’s photos soon. Stay tune for more color!!

I just wanted everyone to see our new Capiz shell chandeliers that we are offering for rental. They are so beautiful!! I will be using these at a beach wedding at the Bayer Estate very soon. Hanging from a tree, tent or arbor, this amazing light is a beautiful focal piece for your wedding or beach party.

Photographer Chrissy Lambert sent me these photos from our wedding together at the Moana Surfrider Hotel on Waikiki Beach. I love designing with Tropical sunset orange & yellow orchids. I added wispy creme feathers to the bridal bouquet for a fun whimsical touch. The centerpiece had a very organic & tropical feel in a natural bamboo vase. The flower girls carried cute white ribboned buckets of loose orchids & rose petals.
