Upcoming Wedding Inspiration Board

This is an inspiration board that I put together for a current bride. She is having an outdoor wedding at Lanikuhonua, and is looking for an elegant and fun palette of brown, pink and gold. She provided the center picture for ideas on linen, and I needed to play around a bit with pinks in flowers and other accessories. This is just a start in designing her theme, but I happen to like it and thought I would share it with all of you. Enjoy!

The Martha Stewart Weddings Collector's Edition

I am so excited about today's post I just can't contain myself. If you haven't had a chance to pick up the Martha Stewart Weddings Collector's Edition magazine, you need to make it a priority. It is just packed full with great ideas and beautiful pictures for all aspects of your weddings. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a few pictures so that you can all share in my excitement!



This chocolate cake is both fun and wonderfully chic. The molding chocolate is designed to resemble ladyfingers. I think a monogram cake topper would "top it off" quite nicely.



This next service is just too cute to miss: Post your wedding invitations with romance with postage from Lovely, Kentucky or Kissimmee, Florida. You can send your invites to the postmaster in any of these sweetly named cities, and they will stamp your envelopes with their cities for an oh-so-cute touch. Martha includes directions to accomplish this in the magazine.



These little favors are multi-taskers. They serve as place cards and favor boxes. They come with the tops unfolded so that you can take them to your calligrapher or personalize them yourself, and then fill them with a sweet treat for your guests to take home.



I saved my favorite idea for last. These adorable hors d'oeurvres are perfect for a summer reception. These "mini American favorites" were made by New York caterer, Peter Callahan. Mini grilled cheese and club sandwiches, hamburgers and lobster rolls are a few examples of such a charming catering creation.




Mahalo to Agnes at the Martha Stewart Corporate Communications office for all of the awesome pictures!

Real Weddings Update

Today I would like to share Jennifer and Leon's beach wedding. The set-up was simple and clean and the couple was happy and beautiful. The wedding was held at Waialae Beach Park on May 11, 2008. Thank you to Kai-Photo for the beautiful pictures (as usual) :-).

Lee and Faith Majors Vow Renewal

Today I have something exciting to share! We had the pleasure of planning an intimate vow renewal ceremony for Lee Majors, ad his beautiful wife, Faith. The couple have been married for 13 years! The ceremony was held at Waialae Beach Park, and they shared a private ceremony for just the two of them. We are honored to have worked with them, and the pictures are just beautiful. Recently, The Insider did a segment on the event. Take a look at the beautiful photography by Kai-Photo, and visit the link below to watch the footage from the Insider!
