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 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!!

Hanging from a tree, tent or arbor, this amazing light is a beautiful focal piece for your wedding or beach party.

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!!

beach/sea shell themes,
color palettes I am still attracted to any design or color that has to do with the beach or sea. At my first spelling B in school, I was asked to spell the word ” Island” & wah lah , I have never forgotten. I have always been attracted to these sea colors. I went back into my archives to find some of my beachy sea shell theme designs. Enjoy!

I got 2 phone calls & 1 blog comment about this beachy dining canopy today so decided to update you with more photos. I luv luv luv this custom made dupioni silk table runner- the color is a sea blue/ green & it is absolutely beautiful!! I based all my design elements around this table runner. The plates are made of crushed seaglass. Each plate was adorned with a pearl nautilus shell. Glass bowls were filled with sea glass, sand & shells. The benches are custom made with white slip covers. Hanging glass floral balls were suspended over the dining table. This is a great set up for an intimate get together by the sea. Designed at the beautiful Bayer Estate, Honolulu, Hawaii.
