A Valentines Day Wedding: Feb. 14, 2010

Posted by admin on May 17, 2010 in ceremony, color palettes, halekulani, photographers, wedding

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.

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.

Luv the lounge area that we designed for Shay & Nobu in September at the Moana Surfrider Hotel on Waikiki Beach. I am also in love with photographers Wendy & Eric of L’amour Photography. I have to encourage all my brides to check them out. They are young, fresh & have great style. The ocean lawn looked stunning with all our white lanterns, candles & lounge area.

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. David Miyamoto

June 20, 2009, The Bayer Estate:  I have been waiting a whole year to design this wedding!! My good friend, famous wedding photographer Dave Miyamoto finally got hitched & what a fun wedding it was!  I have never seen so much love in one day in my whole life! Dave & Michelle were my dream wedding couple. They gave me their colors & fav flowers & let me run with the ball. The flowers had a local exotic tropical flair with lots of teak bowls, beautiful linens & our colorful paper lanterns!! Michelle’s favorite color is coral so we accented in greens, yellows & white. The actual ceremony was designed on the front veranda of the beautiful Bayer Estate. Lush white dendrobium & phaley orchids, green anthuriums & accents of orange mokara orchids spilled over the front awning of the house above Dave & Michelle’s altar site.The photos below are from my camera but can’t wait to see Dave’s photos. Yes I said Dave- he brought his camera to his own wedding & could not resist shooting!!

We just got blogged on the fabulous site “Style Me Pretty”.  Photographer Dave Miyamoto & Cake Lava submitted these photos of our wedding together for Carly & Matthew at the Hale Koa Hotel in Waikiki. The flowers were clean & simple yet her colors were so eye catching. I designed her bouquet using mini callas, creme & white roses & lilly of the valley, a winning combo. I luv the Guava Lava cake that Cake Lava designed.  Rick & Sasha  you guys are sooooooooo talented!!

Hot Hot Hot Sunday Morning!!

Posted by admin on Apr 29, 2009 in bayer estate, color palettes, floral, orchids, photographers, rentals

It was a very low tide this Sunday AM when the Fab photographer Dave Miyamoto & I took off to shoot one of my latest table designs.We had fun frolicking over the rocks with Mr. Teddy Bayer from the Bayer Estate. He was so regal in his hot pink bow collar.  I love this fuchsia crinkle & green dupioni silk linen combo. The bamboo containers of pink mokara orchids complimented it so well. Our new fuchsia covered ottomans, benches & all linen are available for rental.

Dining Canopy at the Bayer Estate

Posted by admin on Apr 29, 2009 in bayer estate, details, floral, photographers, rentals

I spent the whole weekend with one of my favorite photographers Dave Miyamoto. Many hours were put into thought & design of this newest dining canopy that we are promoting at the beautiful historical Bayer Estate in Aina Haina. The canopy is a dark stained wood with draping fabric, white lanterns, crystals & hanging orchids. It is available for rental as a complete set up. I love the night shot that Dave captured.
