Rose Marie & John were such a wonderful couple to work with. I designed their wedding at the beautiful Bayer Estate in Aina Haina on May 27, 2010. Her colors of tiffany blue & crisp white blended so well with the green cymbidium & white Phaley orchids. We designed long tables with tiffany blue runners, white square plates & sea glass bottles on each table. Each table was named after a Hawaiian Island & Rose Marie brought little luggage tags with each guest name for the napkin place card. Crystal Chandeliers & long strands of white orchids were hanging in the beachside trees.

A classic red ,white & pink Valentines Day Wedding at the Halekulani Hotel: I designed Julie’s ceremony canopy with lots white hydrangeas, orchids & blush pink anthuriums. The canopy was draped with red voille fabric & hanging crystals. Guest dining tables were adorned with our claret red matte satin linens & tall glass vases were filled with lots of white dendrobium & cymbidium orchids. Julie’s bridal bouquet was a classic bouquet of all pink peonies. Special thanks to photographer Christie Pham. Christie’s work is so fresh & what a nice lady to work with.

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 wanted to update a few photos from Robert & Chun Hee’s wedding that we created at the beautiful Moana Surfrider Hotel. The fab Stefanie Riedel from Absolutely Loved Photography sent me these great colorful shots! We loved working with all the stunning vibrant beautiful colors. Black magic roses & green cymbidium orchids were a great combo. Our claret red linens, chocolate brown wooden box’s, & the paper lanterns are all available as Rental Decor. Stacey from Bradley & Lily Fine Stationery created lovely Table & Place Cards to complete the tablescapes.

This weekend at the Bayer Estate we had a perfect day for the beautiful wedding of Lorianne & James. The colors popped with bright orange & white overhead lanterns that we designed over long double wide tables of white crinkle linens with orange satin runners. The florals were hurricane candle cylinders surrounded with green cymbidum orchids, orange pin proteas, lilies, roses & green dendrobium orchids. Each napkin was adorned with a green spider mum & sea shells were scatter atop the table. I also created an initimate lounge area on the beach front with lounge benches, ottomans, nesting tables, & tiki torches. The historic Bayer Estate was the perfect setting for a beautiful sea side wedding for the couple. To pull the event together, catering by the fabulous Kahala Caterers & the multi talented photographer Chrissy Lambert. Thanks to Sooz at the Bayer Estate, Merri at Kahala Caterers, & Chrissy!!
