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.

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.

wedding I loved designing Kristi & Ryan’s wedding this past weekend at the Outrigger Canoe Club. We hung thousands of green & white dendrobium orchids from the ceiling, staged green paper lanterns & orange uplighting around the room. I hope to have more photos soon from this event.

We had a great wedding today for Robert & Chun Hee at the beautiful Moana Surfrider Hotel in Waikiki. The colors were stunning : a sea of claret red satin table linens, hanging burgundy lanterns, chocolate brown wooden chargers & napkins. The florals of red roses, james storey orchids, & green cymbidium orchids were elevated on top of a custom made wooden box. We also custom designed a brown wooden arbor draped with red chiffon fabric & lots of roses & green cymbidium orchids for the couple’s ceremony. Check back for more photos to come on this wedding from the fab photographer Stephanie Riedel.

wedding I have found a cool new location for weddings & receptions. The Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor on Ford Island is so amazing!! I spoke with Nicole, the special events manager & she tells me we were the first booked wedding for the Museum Saturday night 6-27-09. It is quite impressive with authentic old planes on display inside the hanger. We transformed the hanger from ceremony to reception. Check out their web site. The cool thing is you do not have to be in the military to rent the place out. Call Nicole at 808-441-1004. Annie & Eric were a lovely couple & the jewish chuppah looked amazing against the back drop of a B-25 Mitchell Bomber.
