New Website and Blog Coming Soon!

Just in case you might think we've dropped off the planet, or Blogland, I am here to say we are alive, well and very excited!!! Our brand new, completely redesigned website and blog is almost ready for it's debut! If you receive emails from us you've seen the same message below our signature for months.

                                 Beautiful NEW Website and Blog Coming Soon!

Websites take a tremendous amount of brain-racking, design-frenzy, late-night hours, but it is so completely worth it! Our new website will have oodles of images, fun areas to click and play around with and all of the information that we've been wanting to share but just didn't have the ability to. We have tons of blog posts of Real Weddings to share with you on our fancy new blog filled with design inspiration.

In the meantime we're are tremendously blessed with a very busy coordination schedule, working with amazing couples, fabulous vendors and in some of the most amazing venues on the islands. Yes, island(s)! The Seasons of Life Events team (SOLE) is coordinating weddings on all of Hawaii's beautiful islands. 

Stephanie and Darren's wedding that we designed and coordinated was just featured on Style Me Pretty (check it out here) and more publications and postings are in the works. 

We'll be back and live with the new SOLE website and blog very soon.....we promise!

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.

The Descendants Movie-Filming Kick-off Party

George Clooney....need I say more? The world's most eligible bachelor is staring in a new movie The Descendants and we were there to coordinate the filming kick-off party! We worked with the director, Alexander Payne's assistant, to create a relaxed and intimate party that would kick off the filming of the movie. Timane Gardner entertained actors and directors with her ukulele virtuoso talent and cast and crew members gathered in a circle to be blessed by Kahu Kekoa. We weren't allowed to take photos once the party began but let me just say....he's gorgeous, the cast and crew were warm and friendly and the whole night was amazing.

Real Weddings-Sharon and Eugene

We absolutely loved working with Sharon and Eugene to plan their wedding.  They are such a fun couple, and it showed all throughout their wedding.  Case in point, their grand entrance song was “Jump-Jump”.  Eugene served our country in Iraq as an Army officer so they incorporated many Army touches.  I love when couples do things like this to help personalize their wedding - it makes it all that more memorable.

Guests were transported to "Secret Island" and back to Moli'i Gardens for cocktail hour and the reception. Guests dined on food provided by Catering Connection, and for dessert enjoyed an amazing cupcake tree created by A Cake Life, and shave ice – a classic Hawaiian treat.  Su-V Expression created a floralscape of green succulents and purple flowers with deep purple satin linens.  Family and friends danced all night with DJ Troy Michael.

Much sought after California based photographer, Caroline Tran provided these beautiful images.  We’re excited to share that Sharon and Eugene’s wedding is being featured in the July issue of Destination Wedding's and Honeymoons Magazine.

Real Weddings-Kitchie and Tommy

Working with Kitchie and Tommy to plan their Lanikuhonua wedding was an absolute delight. They had a beautiful ceremony complete with Filipino traditions which the Reverend Mike Nelson officiated over. Kitchie’s wedding dress was made by a designer in the Philippines, and her aunt hand-beaded different patterns on the buri fans – we love all these little details. And the flowers girls were simply adorable.

Kitchie and Tommy wanted an Al Fresco dining experience so they incorporated lanterns and cafe lights strung from the trees. Guests enjoyed a delicious dining experience from Chai's Island Bistro and a well-run bar and self-service beverage station including an island favorite, plantation ice tea, from Aloha on the Rocks. Anderson Image Photography, friends of the couple from Arizona, photographed their special day.

And a big thanks to our Seasons of Life Events team for all their hard work. Surrounded by family and friends, Kitchie and Tommy were truly able to relax and enjoy their wedding day. Congratulations - we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
