wedding 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!

wedding My lovely bride Nakita sent me this great photo of her posing on a deserted North Shore Beach. I designed her bouquet with white roses, cymbidium orchids & long strands of lilly grass. Her halo haku was designed with champagne baby tea roses & fragrant tuberoses. The traditional bridal lei had strands of pikake draped around her neck & looked stunning with Nakita’s dress.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.
