Real Wedding Film - Chiyo and Joseph

Wait until you see this amazing wedding highlight of Chiyo and Joseph's Halekulani wedding. We coordinated their New Year's Eve / Welcome Party at their spectacular home with a personal Polynesian revue and late night sundae buffet. Two days later we joined them at the Hau Terrace overlooking Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head for an intimate wedding celebration complete with entertainment by international ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro. Thank you to Fisheye Studio for creating an amazing film of their day.

Real Weddings-Sayaka and Grant

Sayaka and Grant's wedding was right out of a fairytale, including the carriage ride that Grant surprised Sayaka with. Cake Lava as always created an impressive whimsical cake and the couple's cake cutting knife was...get this...a Samurai sword! How fun is that?!  Sayaka and Grant changed into traditional Japanese attire and Taiko drums livened up their reception held at the Moana Surfrider Hotel.  All images courtesy of David Murphy from Perfekt Photo.

A Barbie Dream Wedding-Via Rock n Roll Bride

I admit it! I was a little girl that dressed up Barbie in a wedding dress and veil and orchestrated a beautiful fantasy wedding to her forever love, Ken. When I first saw this "wedding" on Rock n Roll Bride I knew that I wasn't alone in my childhood obsession. I can't help but giggle when I look at these images of Barbie and Ken's wedding.

Even if you're not a Barbie fan you have to admit that the photographer did an amazing job capturing Barbie and Ken's special day :)  See more on Rock n Roll Bride.

Real Weddings-Kelsi and Allen

A beautiful old church, elegant black and red, and an anemone cake. Drama in the making!  We loved assisting Kelsi and Allen with their wedding.  Their MC, Dave Lewis of Dynamic Sounds kept the fun going during their reception.  And the cake, what can I say...simply gorgeous and oh so yummy!  Photos courtesy of Adam Palmer Photography.

Real Weddings-Akiko and George

Many of the weddings we coordinate are for couples who live in all parts of the United States and all around the world.  Akiko and George currently live in Vietnam so all of our planning was done by Skype and e-mail.  Our first task was venue research.  Being that they wanted an elegant country look and feel, they chose beautiful Sunset Ranch for their venue.  Their ceremony was held next to a pond overlooking the Pacific Ocean vista and their reception under a tent next to a giant Eucalyptus tree on the venues sprawling property.

Guest enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and played lawn games during the cocktail hour.  Mason jars filled with green and white flowers by Easley Designs sat atop burlap table runners created by the Seasons of Life Events team.  Dinner, served by Beaches and Backyards Catering, was all about comfort food with a Pacific Island twist – among many delicious offerings there were mini Kalua pork sliders and sweet potato fries served in paper cones.  A Cake Life created a beautiful and delicious cupcake tower that we placed in the center of a table full of brown and yellow candy.   Many thanks for Kaua Wedding Photography for these gorgeous photos.

Real Weddings-Cheryl and David

David and Cheryl chose 10.10.10 for their wedding date – a very memorable day, that’s for sure. I love their bold color scheme of black, white and red. Cheryl incorporated a lot of special do-it-yourself projects and was wonderful to work with as she was one of the most organized brides we’ve worked with. Their intimate ceremony was followed by a cocktail reception at Oceanfront Oasis. Guest took home personalized wine glasses and a treat bag of black and white M&M’s.
