Flower Friday - Flower Girls - Floral and Event Decor in Hawaii

Happy Friday! Another quickie today! As much as I love you all, my vacation is close to ending - which is so very sad! So before I hit the sand today, I wanted to tell you about an amazing floral and decor company based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Flower Girls create simply the most amazing bouquets I have seen in a long time! They can lean toward a tropical vibe, or they even do amazing things with more traditional flowers. You must take a peek at their site - their gallery is so much fun to explore and then have a million pretty pictures.

Here are a few of my favs that I grabbed off the web!

Have a great weekend!

Dainty Details - Hawaiian Wedding - The Sand Ceremony

Good morning all! It's another beautiful Hawaiian sunrise from our little lanai this morning. If you know me, I am actually not one to love the sunrises, I typically enjoy the sunsets. However, trying to explain that to an almost 8 month old on a 3 hour time change does not work out well. So, I have taken to enjoying the sunrise and lots and lots and lots of coffee.

I wanted to share another tropical wedding. Again, Events by Evonne, does an amazing job creating a picture perfect setting for this adorable couple. I am loving the sand ceremony the two of them are performing in the first photo. Such a sweet way to create a reminder of the blending of two families from the wedding day. I have had a few brides add this into their ceremony, and they all have a special place in their homes for their pretty vases of mixed sand. Also, sand isn't the only option, I have seen it done with water, dirt when planting a tree, and one of my favorites, wine!

You can check out the rest of the gorgeous photos here over on Style Me Pretty.

Are there any other things you have heard that brides and grooms use to recognize the significance of blending two families? Do share!

Enjoy the rest of your day and chat with you Friday!

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!

Gatsby by Day - Sweet Daytime Wedding Details

I will let you in on a little secret. I am a Gilmore Girls fanatic. Huge. I mean, it's a bit gross. I've got all of the seasons on DVD, and watch them waaaaay too often. Why am I sharing all of this? Well, my favorite episode is called "You Jump, I Jump Jack" (season 5, episode 7) and it is based on a secret society that has an event set in what I like to think of as a Gatsby-esque era. All the fun details in this episode are so neato. I tried to find the episode on Hulu and link to it for you all, but sadly, it was not there. But all sorts of other Gilmore Girls episodes are...take a peek!

Anyway, the tie back to weddings is coming....

So, I am also a huge fan of Snippet & Ink and the amazing inspiration boards Kathryn creates. She has such an eye for detail when putting these babies together. She posted one the other day that I have printed out and hung on my personal inspiration pin board in my office because it instantly reminded me of my favorite episode of GG. I can't wait to have a client request a wedding full of summer yellows and a pop of sweet berry. LOVE!

Click on the image to see all the pretty details. The hats, the bow ties, the parasols. The sunshine and the blackberry colors contrast each other so well. Can't you see the twinkle lights, hear the music hanging on the heat from a warm summer night? And I have the perfect venue in Sonoma - Beltane Ranch - with it's wrap around porches and working cattle ranch. Yes please!

I'm sure there is some plantation in the South that is also begging to have this wedding thrown at it, but I think Beltane would add a California twist to these sweet nuptials.

Here are some more fab finds based on the lovely inspiration board above...

Beltane Ranch Ceremony with the wrap around porch.

A stunning antique jeweled bouquet by Noaki Jewelry.

The lovely work of JL Designs and Sweet and Saucy.

Would doesn't love wedding pie?

I adore antique rings, this one is quite a gem.

Lovin' the sassy yellow stripes.

Programs with gingham ribbon = adorable.

Hope you all are diggin' the Gatsby by Day post!
