Featured on Wedding Chicks-Real Weddings-Lauren and Trevor

Lauren and Trevor know how to have fun and their wedding was just that!  They and their family and friends traveled to O'ahu from Texas for an elegant and intimate wedding celebration at Oceanfront Oasis, a private Kathy Ireland estate located on O'ahu's south shore. Lauren wanted to infuse tropical flowers into their wedding and wanted to incorporate a color pallet of green and royal blue. We played with different ideas and worked with Shilhi at Passion Roots to create a unique and tropical wedding 

decor.

Real Weddings-Kristie and Dan

Kristie and Dan had their wedding ceremony in Guam, but returned to Hawaii for a roaring 1920's themed reception at the Halekulani’s Grand Ballroom.  All of the guests dressed in period clothing, including the Seasons of Life Events team!  Kristie hand-crafted favors for everyone and Su-V Expressions did a beautiful job incorporating feathers into the flower arrangements.  Photography provided by Aria Studios.  Kristie was such a fun and bubbly bride and together they are such a sweet couple.  Congratulations and best wishes Kristie & Dan!

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.

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.
