Just showing off my Crystal Chandeliers & hanging crystals. These are all available for rental. They look great hanging under a tree , from inside a tent or arbor ceremony structure. I can build hanging beaded curtains behind a head table or the crystals always look great hanging from a bamboo arbor structure. Stay tune for my colorful paper lanterns!!

I just got in this great fabric that I luv!!! Kiwi Green Chiffon. We created a bamboo arbor with a floral topper of white anthuriums, hydrangeas & orchids. The kiwi fabric & hanging crystals added just the right pop. FYI: I rent the bamboo arbor, fabric & crystals as a complete set up. We stock the chiffon fabric in all colors!! Stay tune for more from this wedding.

I love designing bridal bouquets. I go crazy looking for all the
cool elements that we are surrounded with here in Hawaii.
The tropical foliages are unreal & blend so well with both
mainland flowers & tropical exotics. Here are a few of my fav!!
After spending 15 years in the fashion industry as an Art Director, it was time to make a change. Jeanne found herself at a crossroads as to what to do with her life. A trip to Hawaii for her sisters wedding changes all that. She immediately knew where she wanted to be and what she wanted to do. Photography has always been a passion of hers and as Jeanne directed many photoshoots, she secretly wanted to be pressing the shutter.
“I bring my flair and love for fashion into my of shooting along with my love of people which creates a mixture of beauty and fun to your images”.

I love all the red details at this wedding we designed. I found these beautiful gold & champagne etched hurricane glass candle holders at the Tommy Bahama store.
They added just the right accent of gold to a elegant evening of centerpieces of black magic roses, wine tafetta / satin table linens & dupioni silk lounge pillows
There is a bell ringing around town. Heather Saffery has just burst onto the wedding scene here in Hawaii. Before starting her own business, Heather worked for a wide range of prestigious cosmetic companies : Clinique, Dior, Laura Mercier, MAC, Prescriptives & Stila. The diverse make up techniques and philosophies of these brands have helped to cultivate her signature style.
Although Heather calls Honolulu her home, make-up has allowed her to travel the world. Experiencing cultural beauty ideals from Europe, Asia and the United States , she has trained with the best in the industry, increasing her artistic repertoire which allows her to work successfully with women of all ages, ethnicities & beauty preferences.
I also hear Heather is designing a new line of designer clutch hand bags. I predict you will be seeing a lot of Heather around town. She may just be the new Vera Wang!!
