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.

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!!

ceremony,
floral We spent this past Sunday setting up a ceremony on the 18th hole at the beautiful Ko’olau Golf Course in Kaneohe. The scenery is so majestic that it can literally take your breath away. At one point, my assistant & I just sat & meditated, taking in the essence of the calm & tranquil setting. I created simple floral balls of green carnations, purple dendrobium orchids, & lavender spider mums. Simple yet they made such a bold statement on the lush green lawn. Click on this photo for sure to see the details!!

I loved our latest wedding at the Westin Moana. Prsni & Dean were so much fun to work with & their sunset colors were great! Capri Shells formed a shell curtain as a back drop to the ceremony on Waikiki beach. We provided cool hanging lanterns, linens, napkins, chocolate brown chivari chairs & bamboo centerpieces full of mokara / aranda orchids, yellow / orange roses, & yellow pin cushion proteas. Photographer Chrissy Lambert took lots of photos & I can’t wait to see a preview of her work. Please stay tune for more on this wedding.
