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.
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.
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.
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!!
