Fav Finds + Flower Friday: Bird of Paradise

Since I've got Grandpa and Grandma on the brain I thought I'd share my Grandma's favorite flower, the bird of paradise. I remember as a little girl walking into her backyard which was filled with them. I did a quick search to see how they could be used in weddings and I really didn't find much. I think brides are a bit afraid of it's boldness. It is also a fairly large flower and stalk.
I thought the bouquet below was pretty cool...



Here are some of my fav finds from the week!

Dainty Details - Flip-Flop Fun - Beach Wedding

As the leaves start to change color and summer drifts into fall, I sit here feeling a bit sad that we only got a handful of the super hot days I am used to out here in the East Bay. So I thought I would cling on to summer as long as I could and post another fun find about a sweet sandy detail for beach weddings.

I don't know about you, but when I see a wet sandy shore, where the ocean has just washed up on it, I want to run to it and immediately carve my initials in it as big as possible, and of course surrounded them by a fat heart.

This idea I am about to share is borrowed from an adorable couple who recently got married at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples. These two provided all of their guests sandals (or as I prefer to call them flip-flops) to wear to the ceremony. Each pair had the bride's initial on one side and the groom's initial on the other so as guests walked across the sand, the newlyweds were commemorated in style wherever they went. How cool is that?!


Other fun flip-flops I have seen also write Just Married in the sand, but I personally think the initials are super darn cute.

Happy Wednesday!

Aloha! Tropical Wedding Details

Okay! Hubby's laptop to the rescue! I'm sure most of you are wondering what we are doing with so many tech connections to the real world while on vacation but truth is - heaven to me is lying on a beach, drink in hand, surfing the net and looking all of my favorite blogs, hence the need for the tech gear and the hi-speed connection.

In honor of our trip, I wanted to do a quick post today about a sweet shoot that Nancy Liu Chin, Events by Evonne and many more fab vendors did in Maui. It was posted on Green Wedding Shoes a while back, and you can click here to see more beautiful photos from this shoot.



Loving the bright colors and the amazing details.
Enjoy and Aloha!
