Hawaii Weddings

Oh be still my island loving heart! This wedding is drop dead beautiful in its simplicity. I’m dying over the gorgeous color combo of corals and greens that was whipped up by the creative geniuses at Green. My heart is all sorts of fluttering over this one and I could literally stare at the pretty, pretty images by Radiant Photography by the Chansons all day long. Join me in the gallery for a good old fashioned swoon fest, won’t you?

From Green… Physical therapy wasn’t exactly Shaun’s idea of a fun way to spend his afternoons, and when it landed him in a spinning class, his distress grew. Until, that is, he went into the class and spotted a gorgeous (albeit sweaty) girl across the way. Katy noticed him too, and after a few post-workout conversations, they were hooked and their story began. This unexpected encounter in the spinning class turned out to be the meeting of their dreams, as Katy and Shaun both soon discovered that this was “it.” The wedding planning began. Without a doubt, Katy and Shaun knew the perfect location: the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where Shaun lived while his father was stationed in the Navy there.

They kicked off their wedding week with a potluck on the beach where all their friends and family were able to meet and greet one another. The following morning began with a beautiful sunrise hike that led straight into a day full to the brim with every enjoyable activity under the sun (i.e. volleyball tournaments, paddle boarding, laying out in the sun, sipping traditional Hawaiian drinks, etc.). The next day started out with a golf tournament on an absolutely beautiful course, followed by a “beach crawl” where each group along the beach house stops represented Katy and Shaun and their story together through different themes related to the drinks, appetizers, and décor. For example, one house was Hawaiian (with obvious connotations), one house represented Catalina Island where Katy and Shaun got engaged, and so on.  That night ended with a trip to a local bar where Shaun had arranged ahead of time for his band to play. It was an epic ending to the day. Eventually, the biggest pre-wedding event of all finally arrived… the Groom’s Dinner, which was held on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri. This ship is not only a significant piece of American history, but also a significant piece of family history for Shaun, who has himself followed along on the path of strong military tradition the men in his family have established before him. Each and every day during this week of celebration were absolutely perfect and unforgettable. And all of them were just the precursors to the event to end all events: Katy and Shaun’s Hawaiian wedding.

When the time came for the ceremony, Katy surprised all the guests by riding over from the house across the pond, to ceremony site — in a canoe! Two of the groomsmen (who were very nervous about having the bride in their care over water) paddled while Katy just sat there beaming. Their ceremony was held under a gigantic tree that had flowers flowing from the bottom of the trunk to the ground, leading into the aisle of flowers for them to walk down. Their cocktail hour consisted of traditional Hawaiian hors d’oeuvres and a sushi bar. One of the great features of the night was when Shaun surprised Katy by replacing the reception band with his own band and performed a special song for her, “Just The Two of Us.” The crowd went wild during this jazzy little number that ended with Katy and Shaun cuddling, kissing, and cheering on stage. There are not enough words in the world to describe the amount of love that was shown and felt through everyone present at this spectacular event. Katy and Shaun are an incredibly warm and gracious couple and that theme played out through every single aspect of their wedding from their traditional Hawaiian/Christian ceremony, to their elegant cocktail hour and joyful reception.  All of it radiated feelings of family, tradition, relationships, and a genuine love for life that could only be created by this vibrant couple and the talented vendors they worked with to make it all happen.

Paradise is frolicking on the beaches of Hawaii with the love of your life and a wildly talented photographer in tow. That wildly talented photographer is Alea Lovely and the images she captured of this couple are unreal. The kind of unreal that we want to print out and slap on our walls as art. Weird? Maybe a little but we’re wedding bloggers; it totally comes with the territory. And once you see all the gorgeous images of the day, you just might want to frame them too. See it all right here.

From Alea of Alea Lovely… Adam and Ally got married a year ago, moved to Hawaii, and after living there for some time, these surfers wanted to do a bridal session before they moved back to the mainland. Surfing is a huge part of their routine almost every day, so being by the water for this shoot was a very important tribute to the ocean they were going to miss so much once they moved back. The necklace Ally is wearing is the necklace that Adam gave her on their wedding day — she never takes it off. We also shot in Waimea Valley, which had some of the amazing banyan trees that grow all over Hawaii.

We like to make up new categories of weddings around here and if we had to pick this would be considered a Warm and Fuzzy, Feel Good Affair (with a side of delicious paper goods). Actually most, if not ALL weddings fall in that category but this gem is EXTRA super duper shiny and happy. It’s everything from the Hawaiian backdrop to the light-filled images by mega-talented Max Wanger Photography to the last dance caught on film by Love Sick Weddings. We dare you to try and get through the full gallery without cracking a big huge smile. It’s practically impossible because this wedding is smile-inducing times a billion. And we heart every last second of it.

Told ya! It’s dreamy, dreamy, dreamy and it’s about to get even dreamier with the film of the day shot by Love Sick Weddings. Turn that volume up a notch or two because you will so want to dance along…

From the bride… All throughout our 10 years together, Rob and I have found every excuse to escape to the beach and decided, just like that, a little seaside wedding in Hawaii with our 50 closest friends and family was our idea of bliss. Hailing from the food mecca that is San Francisco (read: we LIVE to eat), we wanted to infuse our multicultural roots (Korean and Filipino) into our tasty eats — kahlua pork “lumpia” appetizers, hot-off-the-grill Korean BBQ and kimchi galore, alongside just-shucked oysters and freshly-caught clambakes. As a nod to our Hawaiian surroundings, we celebrated some of our local favorites — grilled mango chicken, pineapple slaw and sweet potato salad, just to name a few. We were hell-bent on a menu that felt just like us and was cooked with love, so we requested that all of our entrees be grilled to order by an on-site chef at our beach reception. Our little wedding cake was the recipe of our favorite cake ever (tropical shag cake from San Francisco’s Citizen Cake) that the amazing Turtle Bay pastry chef custom-baked for us. And as a little surprise to our dance-fanatic guests, we treated our party to some heavenly Hawaiian late night goodness — teriyaki sliders, fries and malasadas (Hawaii’s version of beignets, which will change.your.life) with a little hot cocoa on the side.

We fell in love with the idea of a whimsical, dreamy beach celebration with a vibrant tropical sunset palette, watercolor paintings, colored glass, awesome music and LOTS of twinkling lights. The exquisite invitations designed by Rifle Paper Co. and dreamlike photography by Max Wanger were the anchor of our inspiration. I DIYed my little heart out with our sea critter escort cards, table cards, seating map, tassel garlands, chevron patterned signs and CD favors. I haunted my local flea markets and online shops for our vitrocolor lavender bottles, coral, sea urchin and airplant decor, linen table runners, watercolor sea life dessert plates and paper lanterns galore. And we shipped EVERYTHING (hello, 12 boxes!) to our marvelous wedding coordinator, Dianna of Hawaii Weddings & Events, who worked her magic and made our dreamy beach wedding visions come to life.

Since music has played a starring role in our relationship (we still make “mixtape” CDs for each other after all these years!), we carefully curated our own wedding soundtrack, that ranged from Motown and Brit Pop to ’80s and Hip-Hop. And the fantastic DJ Tony So spun the records and made sweet music magic. Our wedding party walked to Stevie Wonder’s “Overjoyed,” the La’s “There She Goes,” filled the sweet Hawaiian air while I beamed  down the aisle, our ceremony ended with The Cure’s “Friday I’m in Love,” and our favorite tunes kept the dance floor hot like fire all night long. Our love has been a thrilling and challenging marathon of 10 amazing years, and our story was perfectly illustrated through the words we spoke that day. Our from the heart vows were more than words. They were the reflection of our decade of adventure, challenge, growth and chance – with a little inspiration from my favorite story, “The Giving Tree.” Full of our favorite people, music, food and sparkly lights, this is one sunset celebration we will always remember.

Crafting a Hawaiian Destination wedding sans the token tropical elements seems like an oxymoron BUT the second you lay your eyes on this Honolulu beauty, you’ll understand just how gorgeous and elegant it can be. U-Shin & Veanne Wedding Photography captured all the beautiful moments, from the Bride putting on that perfect-in-every-way dress to the three-piece Hawaiian Band serenading guests at cocktail hour. This is a true Destination gem and you won’t want to miss a second of its loveliness. See it all here!

From Karine of Seasons of Life Events… I love that this couple had a wedding that’s true to their personality and interests, in a location of their choice, without defaulting to the expected tropical wedding themed decor and setting. Living in Hong Kong for work, Sandra and Stuart traveled over 5,000 miles to celebrate their wedding in a gorgeous museum located in the heart of Honolulu. Their story is one of long distance love, world travels and a passion for adventure. Stuart grew up in Hawaii, so Oahu made the perfect destination for their international guests to gather. As a writer, Sandra is an excellent researcher, which helped in the planning process. From the start, it was clear that food was going to play the starring role in their wedding day. Infusing their passions and shared interests was also important, and months of sharing photos, videos and inspirations developed into a look that reflected their relationship.

Guests entered the museum’s iron gates and were greeted with a mocktail from a recipe created by Sandra that included Hibiscus flower and ginger. Lush garlands graced the aisles of the ceremony, which was held in the museum’s Central Courtyard. Ceremony and reception flowers were lovingly created by Stuart’s aunties, who have created centerpieces and decorations throughout the years for family and friends’ celebrations. The ring bearers carried signs to announce the arrival of the bride, and the couple’s close friend officiated a meaningful ceremony while Sandra and Stuart exchanged personal vows.

Following their ceremony guests were escorted into the Mediterranean Courtyard for cocktail hour and were serenaded by a three piece women’s Hawaiian group. A tabletop display featured love letters, tickets to plays, travel itineraries and memorabilia that reflected the couple’s relationship. Sandra and Guests were asked to write well-wishes on eclectic postcards that Sandra and Stuart collected from around the world. The reception was held in the museum’s indoor/outdoor cafe. Tables were decorated with Chinese teapots and figurines and favors were brought from Hong Kong. The fact that the couple are veracious foodies made their reception a culinary adventure. Guests were treated to a three-course, sit-down dinner, followed by a dessert buffet of exotic cheeses, fresh fruits and Sandra’s favorite: coconut cake. After toasts and cake cutting, guests were served a bite-sized chocolate crunch bar created with locally grown North Shore chocolate. While they enjoyed their final gift from the couple they watched a very touching same-day-edit that was filled with emotion and love. After a send-off, guests moved the celebration to a karaoke bar, and the party continued throughout the night.

If this wedding isn’t the epitome of a romantic Hawaiian wedding, then I don’t know what is! This adorable couple planned their big day all the way from Brooklyn, New York, although you’d never know because each and every detail is so seamless and works so well with the natural surroundings. The lush florals by Yvonne Design are no doubt stealing the show on the tablescapes, but I must say, the mercury glass is definitely holding its own. Steven Lam Photography was on hand to capture each and every beautiful moment and there’s so much more inspiration in the full gallery.

From the bride… The beaux arts 1900 architecture of the Moana Surfrider, also known as the First Lady of Waikiki, has always been our favorite venue in Hawaii. With a beautiful green lawn right next to the ocean, and a gorgeous ocean front BeachHouse restaurant on the property, we decided that it would be the perfect location for our wedding. Eric was born in Honolulu and I have fond memories of regularly traveling to the rainbow state with my family as a child. Even though we now live in Brooklyn, New York, we thought it would be the perfect meeting place for our family and friends from all over the world.

Style Me Pretty really helped me throughout the entire process as I looked for design inspiration, and liaised virtually with our local planners, florists and the hotel staff. I decided to use a simple white, ivory and light peach color scheme for the entire outdoor ceremony, and then add all different colors into the floral palette for our indoor reception. We hired a wonderful philadelphia-based calligrapher  to write all our table/name cards, and ordered delicious handmade cookies from a local Brooklyn-based vendor. My sister also designed an eco-friendly tote bag for our guests to bring home at the end of the night.  And because our reception was held at the hotel restaurant, our guests could see the kitchen through an open glass window and everything came out hot on the plate. Our beautiful hula dancers swayed to the music of Elvis Presley’s Hawaiian Wedding Song while the sky was changing colors outside, and the whole entire event was the result of true team effort. It was a magical, unforgettable night.

If you’re cold and already sick of shlepping your giant Winter coat all over the place like we are…you’ll love the escape factor that is written all over this next lovely feature. Designed by our sweet and crazy talented friend Jill La Fleur, with perfect photographs by Simply Bloom Photography, this little number will take you someplace far away where pretty Romona Keveza gowns blow perfectly in the wind and TeePee’s on the beach are the new must have.

Before we release the reigns though, we wanted to take a minute to remind all of you aspiring event designers out there that Jill, the design guru herself, is hosting a workshop on the beaches of Maui in just a few short weeks where she’s gathered the best in the biz to teach you how to really launch your brand the right way. Yours truly will even be doing a skype workshop. And lucky for you, she’s made some last minute room for a few more warm bodies. Hurry though, the spaces are sure to go soon!

From Jill of La Fleur Weddings… When Simply Bloom approached me to style their Photographer’s Workshop on Oahu, I was excited and honored to be a part. We had done some beautiful work together before and we work so well together.  They have such a lovely softness and femininity to their images that I decided to create my inspiration around the soft colors that I love and that they show off so well.  I wanted to make sure they were able to capture that while still using the beautiful surroundings at Makapu’u Beach on Oahu. I decided to go with light pink and tourquoise blue as the main colors with elements of seafoam green, natural palm, natural coral and blue glass thrown in. With the help of Yvonne Design, I envisioned and then created a large tee-pee on the sand with a pink and ivory honeycomb fabric and had a low table inside of it with an intimate table setting and long cushions on a woven rug topped with comfy pillows. I wanted to create a romantic, intimate space for a small wedding party to celebrate a private beach wedding or vow renewal.  I introduced elements of the sea that included sea fans and turquoise sea glass. The place cards and menus were created by Chelsea Petaja and attached to beautiful individual shells on woven shell and palm mats.  The flowers were soft, fluffy texture in blushes, sages and creams colors. I had a blast working with the local couple from Oahu that even brought along their restored ’64 VW bus as a prop for our shoot!  My favorite was the seafoam green colored Ramona Keveza gown that just seemed to flow right into the sea itself…the color was perfect!  Paired with handmade jewelry from Maui, the bride was stunning!  The groom wore a simple JCrew casual linen pant and crisp white shirt…perfect for a Hawaiian beach wedding.

This is your one cute couple alert. It’s easy for anyone to look good with the Hawaiian breeze blowing through their hair, and the Pacific sand in between their toes, but these two, they were absolutely adorable. The lovely planners & designers, Mango Muse Events, enlisted the help of Flowergirls to create the florals for the event – which is quickly jumping to the top of my favorite floral designs ever. Live trees as centerpieces, a Bonsai tree as the escort card holder, and, the best yet, those amazing honohono orchid chandeliers. Can I have one of those for every room in my house? Red Heart Photography captured every little detail, every little smile, and every little look shared, to perfection. Click here for the gallery!

That’s it.  I’m packing my bags right now and heading off to Sunset Ranch on Oahu’s North Shore.  I had heard Noa of Feather Love Photography gush about this tranquil oasis but I was completely sold after seeing the breathtaking photos that she took at this lovely island celebration.  A charming blend of traditional, cultural elements and pretty, pretty details.  OK, so even if we all can’t get away to a Hawaiian paradise we can at least spend the day dreaming in the full gallery!

From the bride… When I thought about my wedding, I wanted to be OUTSIDE, with BIG TREES & an OCEAN VIEW!  The theme for my wedding was romantic and tropical mix!  Since I lived on a different island of Hawai’i, I searched on the Internet a lot and looked at tons of websites.  I found a perfect place Sunset Ranch.  Sunset Ranch is located in North Shore, Oahu, on top of the hill.  The land is so big that you can choose where you want to have a ceremony, bar, and reception. They even offer a horse to ride!

Food was a BIG part of my wedding!  My family loves to eat and I wanted my guests to enjoy how good local food in Hawai’i since they are coming from mainland and Japan.  I found Gourmet Event Hawaii.  By looking at the pictures on websites, I knew the food was good and when I went to the tasting, I was so happy that I found them.

I got a lot of help from my family and friends.  My creative auntie made and designed ceramic pots and plates and decorated with beautiful flowers from Hawaii!  Also, my Ohana Halau, Halau Ke Kiai A O Hula, made my wedding so AWESOME!  They danced beautiful hula for us!

Photography was also a BIG BIG part of my wedding!  I am a photographer too and one day I found FEATHER LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY on facebook.  I fell in love with her work and dreamed that one day she will shoot my wedding.  When I decided to do my wedding, I found out that she does a destination wedding too and asked her to travel to Hawaii.  I was so happy that she shot my wedding!  My dream came true.

My wedding was a happiest day of my life!  I could tell that my face was full of smiles!  Everything was greatest!  Except it rained, but we got DOUBLE RAINBOWS!!! such a blessing…

Bow ties are having a moment right now and I couldn’t be more thrilled.  These adorable accessories aren’t just for the ring bearers anymore either.  I love to see a groom get a little daring and don some funky neck wear.  Why should the bride have all the fun with her outfit?  A bow tie is quite versatile and can work with any wedding style.  It can be sophisticated and dapper as we saw in this elegant New Haven affair.  It can be quirky and whimsical like in the Wizard of Oz-inspired photo shoot.  And, of course, it can be totally dreamy and romantic like this amazing Brooklyn bridal shoot over on the New York Weddings blog!  It doesn’t even need to be worn on a neck but can be used as decor as well like we saw in this adorable no-sew bow tie DIY project!  I got in touch with one of my favorite bow tie creators, XOELLE, who just happens to live in destination wedding heaven – Honolulu, Hawaii.  She shared with us a few of her favorite neck accessories and some tips on planning a wedding away from home.

 

 

Guys, if you’re having a little trouble tying the knot check out this great resource on how to tie a bow tie!  And, girls, bow ties don’t have to be just for the boys anymore!  Forage has an amazing new summer collection of bow ties just for the ladies!

Kristina and Mark’s May wedding took place on the beautiful island of Oahu at the Hawaii State Art Museum. Little Black Book members, Flowergirls sent us these gorgeous shots of their contribution to the day!

Kristina and Mark’s wedding style was ‘modern ~ organic’ …

We LOVE the twist of the maids in white and the bride in her Vera …

The bouquets are simply awesome!

We love the simple elegance that the chosen blooms convey.

So soft, so pretty!

Our thanks to Christie Pham Photography for these great images of the day … Congratulations to Kristina and Mark!

And to Flowergirls … Mahalo â nui!

When Dave, Rick and Debbie get together for a wedding …you KNOW it’s going to be terrific!

Carly & Matthew’s wedding is the perfect mix of classic natural beauty with a splendid touch of whimsy …

Everything about their wedding is just so darned pretty … the flowers are very simple and so very delicate…

And then … there’s the cake! Wow! So cool …

So, who are these extra-special Little Black Book vendors?

The awesome photography team was Dave Miyamoto & Company. The positively perfect florals were from Designs by Hemingway.

Cakelava … of course … designed the fabulous cake. All you have to do is take one look at the cake and you just KNOW it’s one of Rick’s, right?

I read on Rick & Sasha’s blog …

Carly and Matthew gave us plenty of artistic leeway when designing their cake. Their requests were funky, pink and green and white, and swirls, so Rick worked his magic. For their cake flavors, they chose Guava Lava, a completely pink cake, which couldn’t be more fitting for this wedding, and our Hot Fudge Sundae, a nice combination.

Dave really captured the fun … and the sweetest emotions of the day!

The term “fairy tale wedding” might seem cliché … but Carly looks like … she feels like … a princess! And Matthew? Her dashing young prince, of course.

We love it when we can show you that our Little Black Book vendors are all we say they are … and more!

Thanks Dave, for sharing Carly & Matthew’s wedding day with us!

It may seem like we’re fixated on tropical weddings this week on The Little Black Book Blog … (and maybe we are) … but this wedding sent to us by the incredible floral design team at  Flowergirls is just too cute to pass up!

Chrissy Lambert, also a Little Black Book member, did a fantastic job capturing the Vintage Glam inspiration behind Jennifer and Vincent’s wedding!

All the little details they pulled into this wedding are so, so “glamorous”!

Well … almost everything is glamorous …

The silhouettes they used added just the perfect vintage touch.

We’ve seen quite a few Black & White with red accented weddings from 2008, but Jennifer & Vincent’s is so different. It’s light-hearted and full of zest and just forces a big happy smile!

We also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE antique brooches and feathers and crystals and … just all of the lovely glitz!

Jennifer and Vincent were married in November at the Lanikuhonua Estate on the island of Oahu.

How great is this picture!

A HUGE thank you to Michelle at Flowergirls and Chrissy Lambert Photography for sharing this sensational vintage glam wedding with us.
