I loved working with Kristen & Britton on their wedding at Lanikuhonua on June 5. Her colors were so beautiful & easy to work with. I designed a beautiful wood arbor draped with fuchsia fabric & loaded with a full floral topper which we later reused on their sweetheart table. On the back & sides of the arbor, I draped long strands of crystals & hanging white orchids. We tied beautiful fuchsia wired ribbon on each ceremony chair cushion. After the ceremony, the guests were greeted with cocktails from the Catering Connection. Laura Lewis from Parasol Events coordinated the event wonderfully & the talented photography team from Visionari captured the event & magical evening. I designed a lounge area with our sofas, benches, tables, silk pillows, pretty linens & dramatic crystal chandeliers hanging over the event area. The florals on each table were stunning with loads of crystals dripping onto the table. I love the idea Kristen had for their reception sign in table. Each guest wrote a personal note on the back of a colorful Vintage Hawaiian postcard!

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.

I am in love with Mercury glass! It has such a beautiful old vintage look. I am using lots of mercury glass tea lights & small 4 inch vases in my designs lately. Just purchased blue mercury votives & they are gorgeous!

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.

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.

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.

I have designed several weddings this summer at the beautiful ocean front Bayer Estate. The front awning of the house was spilling over with lush green & white dendrobium orchids, fuchsia pink roses, sweet akito pink roses, long strand of orchid leis & crystals. It made a grand entrance to the property & our bride decided to have her ceremony at the front entrance & reception on the oceanfront lawn.

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!!
