Christina & Brian Part 2

June 3, 2009 in Brian, Christina, Lanikuhonua, bold colors, custom canopies, drapes, fabric | No comments

It’s been a while since my last blog entry. May was a very busy month, so hopefully I will get the chance to update my blog more frequently this month. I received Christina and Brian’s wedding images from Visionari this weekend. I loved the Same Day Edit video done by Studio Red, so I was super excited to see the package from Visionari in my mail box. Ryan and Lisa of Visionari did a beautiful job capturing all the love, beauty and details of this wedding. The bold colors our lovely bride Christina had chosen looked absolutely stunning. I am a sucker for bold colors and crazy patterns (especially damask and paisley!), so I am especially thrilled when Christina decided to to use dramatic colors such as eggplant purple, magenta pink and chartreuse green for her wedding. Thank you to Yvonne Design for creating such beautiful flowers, canopies and lighting. I apologize in advance because there are so many details to this wedding I want to include in my blog, the photos may take a while to load. (Just a fun fact about this wedding: I started working with Christina the beginning of February, and her wedding was the first week of May! Pulling off a wedding with an enormous amount of details in such short time frame is definitely possible when quality, reputable, and extremely talented vendors are on board. Kudos to Visionari, Studio Red, Yvonne Design, Cater To Me, Catering Connection, Troy Michael Entertainment, Les Saisons, Cake Works and Blue Cheese photo booth for making this wedding a success!)

I love the idea that Christina asked her nephew to be her “Flower Boy”. Instead of carrying a basket, he tossed petals from the Brian’s Marine Corp hat. Isn’t that the cutest idea? Way to make your wedding personal!

One of my favorite moments from this wedding must be when Brian spontaneously twirl Christina around a few times after their newlyweds’ entrance. It was a sweet and unforgettable moment.

The canopies looked even more stunning at night

Can’t tell you it’s a great party without a photo to prove it :)

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Park!

Christina and Brian had a gorgeous wedding at Lanikuhonua this past weekend. The weather was absolutely perfect for the beautiful couple. Christian and Brian have got to be the kindest and most gracious couple I’ve ever worked with. Their wedding was filled with lots of bold colors and intricate details. This is my first attempt to post a video on my blog, so I hope it works :) . This video is a “Same Day Edit” done by Studio Red, which was later shown at the reception. Isn’t it amazing what these guys can do in 3 hours?! I can’t wait to share the professional photos on my blog when they are ready. The dining canopies looked simply stunning at night!

Reception table design – all white with a slight hint of green and brown

The two different shades of white between the linen and white rose makes a stunning contrast!

Christina & Steve’s wedding at Loulu Palm Estate

Congratulations to Christina and Steve who just got married this month at Loulu Palm Estate. Loulu Palm Estate is a new venue on the North Shore that can accommodate up to 500 guests. It’s a beautiful estate that sits right on the edge of the water, and it offers everything you can ever imagine for a wedding in Hawaii. I definitely look forward to coordinating more events at this location. Here are just two initial photos emailed to me by our photographer Stefanie Riedel. More photos to come!

Christina wore a Claire Pettibone dress with these killer D&G shoes. Wasn’t she gorgeous? The colors of her wedding are mainly white with hints of green and brown. The ambiance was a modern tropical flair.
