Modern technology is simply the best! Not only does it allow you to keep in contact with friends and family from all over the world it also allows you to share information with our brides and future brides.
Yesterday I had the privilege of being coordinator for Reimi and Shawn's wedding at The Moana Surfrider, a Westin Resort. The ceremony was performed by Reverend Frank Mak with photography by Garrett Nose, music by Flute Ala Harpe, video by Video 21 Productions (see ceremony highlights at)

and beautiful flowers by Su-V Expressions.
The color scheme was garnet red and ivory, with an elegant asian theme. The head table and cake table was completely draped with red garnet satin linen, adorned with ivory satin napkins, gold chargers, beautiful printed menu cards, napkin rings and cookies/cupcakes from Hokulani bakery and ivory chaircovers with the red garnet satin sash.
The head table was elevated and had pipe and drape directly behind with hanging champagne colored draping, shimmery decorative tiles and hanging red roses and red uplights which highlighted the bride and groom as they sat on stage.
The two family tables were oval shaped tables that had tall magnificent centerpieces with willow branches and hanging white orchids strung from them with custom made ivory satin linen, red garnet table runners, mirrors, gold chargers, and the same other accents as the head table.
Red uplighting accented the sides of the room and there were three different types of centerpieces that were featured on the guest tables along with the votive candles on each table.
When the bride entered the ballroom she teared up as she saw how amazingly beautiful the room, which in turn made me tear up as well (I still cry at weddings!)
These priceless moments are why I love event planning. When the bride gives you a hug and tells you everything is perfect, what could be better than that!?!
Pictures of the wedding decor will be posted soon!
