The Wedding Cafe Floral Show Case

Posted by admin on Mar 3, 2010 in Editorials, Table elements, containers, floral, rentals, wedding cafe

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.

Old Vintage bottles

Posted by admin on Feb 11, 2010 in beach/sea shell themes, color palettes, containers, rentals

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

Seaside Dining Canopy

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!!

Erinn & David~ The Bayer Estate ~ January 2, 2010

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.

Chrissy Lambert Photography

Posted by admin on Nov 26, 2009 in Westin Moana Hotel, floral, orchids, photographers, wedding

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.
