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!!

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!!

I designed these peony bouquets for the 2009 summer/ fall issue of Pacific Wedding Magazine. Excellent photographer Chrissy Lambert photographed all the bouquets at the beautiful Bayer Estate in east oahu.

I have designed several weddings this summer at the beautiful ocean front Bayer Estate. The front awning of the house was spilling over with lush green & white dendrobium orchids, fuchsia pink roses, sweet akito pink roses, long strand of orchid leis & crystals. It made a grand entrance to the property & our bride decided to have her ceremony at the front entrance & reception on the oceanfront lawn.

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!!

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!!

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.
