Real Weddings Update 7/26/08

Aloha!

Today I have some wonderful new weddings to share with you. The busy summer months leave little time to blog, so today, I have a few highlights to share:

Scott and Shannon were married on a gorgeous day in Moli'i Gardens at Kualoa Ranch. They had a small ceremony by the lake with a reception to follow on the upper lawn. It was a classy, intimate affair and it was sure a lot of fun! Enjoy these pictures and stay tuned for more summer weddings...

Real Weddings Update: A beautiful wedding at Waialae Beach Park

Last week we had the pleasure of doing a beach ceremony for a beautiful couple from Ontario, Canada. We set up on a great day at Waialae Beach Park with a bamboo arch and bright yellow florals by Gulick Flowers and Oahu Wedding. This couple really made the wedding special. They were so obviously in love and enjoying every minute of their special day together. It truly was heartwarming. Their family and friends were just as enthusiastic, which made for a wonderful ceremony and excellent pictures by Kai-Photo. Thank you to Reverend Rodney Shim for a beautiful ceremony. Enjoy the pictures below:

An Island Fall Color Palette

Today I am in the mood for fall. The only drawback to my mood is that here in Hawaii fall weather is pretty much identical to summer weather. I shouldn’t complain – it is a beautiful 85 degrees outside, but I need to find a way to fit a little autumn into my day. So: how about a fun fall color palette?

Since so many couples come to Hawaii for island-themed weddings, I decided to incorporate both themes. A little bit of green and brown, and a little island flair is the theme for the day. I tried to tone down the colors and get away from those bright pink and purple orchids for a while, and go for warm neutrals.

Also, I am proud to say that everything on this board can be found or made locally!
