Brides always have fashionable shoes for their wedding, but many times they may not be the most comfortable for standing and walking. Here's a Tip. Bring along a pair of flip flops or ballet flats to wear at the reception or for beach photos.
With all the reality TV shows to choose from, do you have a favorite? Bridezillas to Platimum Weddings to Say Yes To the Dress...do you believe all the drama? Is any of it REAL?
Perhaps more drama leads to greater viewship and higher ratings.
Say Yes to the Dress is our studio favorite. It's believable and interesting. What's amazing is the variety of gowns Kleinfelds has in stock. They have something for everyone, in every budget range from simple to way-out-there.
What is your favorite bridal show?
You may not find this person at the bridal shows, online or in the social media but the tone of the entire ceremony is built by him.
This person in your wedding officiant. The Reverend Mike Nelson is in high demand for his services and for good reason. A down to earth and likable guy, you'll befriend him as soon as you meet him.
Charismatic and charming, you'll instantly get a good feeling about having him perform your ceremony. From greeting family to having the guests take their seats, he'll take charge in a polite and inviting way.
By now, the ceremonies he has performed must number in the hundreds, but his sentiments are sincere and his message never comes across canned, over-rehearsed or phony. Mike Nelson will make your wedding memorable.
Eugene Kam Photography offers a wide variety of album styles, cover treatments and colors. Every once in a while our couples select a cover that suits their wedding colors. In this case, the color was red. We designed her album and order with the on-line swatch number, and when we got the album back, we were blown away with the resuls. The embossed texture was so beautiful as seen in this photo.
Great consideration to the fine details has helped Evan Morita and the stylists at Florist Grand achieve their reputation for exquisite floral design.
Rhinestone, ribbon, crystal or feather embellishments are added to bouquets and arrangements for extra distinction and flare.
The floral pieces arranged among tissue paper are like sparkling jewels and each piece is marked with a hand-written tag.
Care is also taken to personalize the box with a label with the couple's names and by using paper color coordinated with the wedding another element that makes their flower delivery memorable, unique, and above all beautiful.
Whether it's a delicate bonsai, an elegant vase of fresh flowers, or a bottle of rare sake, most guests would love to take home that wedding centerpiece. But you can't just kapu it for yourself. You have to win it.
Here are the most popular ways we've seen the centerpiece given away.
The centerpiece goes to...
• the person whose birthday is closest to the wedding day
• the oldest person on the table
• the youngest person on the table
• the person who comes closest to guessing the combined weight of the bridal party
• the last person remaining after the game of pass the dollar bill
• the person on each table who returned their RSVP first
• the couple married the longest
By the way, the mirror (or lazy susan) under the centerpiece belongs to the hotel!
• Gourmet dinner prepared by the Kahala chefs
•Sweet Treats candy buffet
•Dancing and entertainment by Nueva Vida
What can top such a spectacular wedding reception?
The Buddha Lounge.
Guests of Eileen Guerrero and Cris Baptiste were invited to keep the party going at their exclusive after-party. The team from Les Saisons and Vignette transformed the Waialae Ballroom into a chic night club with a moody, red glow. Telly Brandon of Showtime DJs kept the hip-hop beat spinning while splashing the dance floor with lights and music videos.
M&Ms, gummy fish, jaw breakers, lollipops, jelly beans...jars of colorful, shiny treats are hard to resist to children and adults alike. Na meamaika'i creates Sweet Treats Buffets for couples who want to offer a fun and interactive favor for their guests. Recently at the last 2 weddings Eileen Guerrero & Cris Baptiste and Michelle Kobayashi & Brian Hashimoto invited everyone at their reception, to scoop their favorite sugar fix into containers that coordinate with the wedding. It's doubtful whether these goodies make it home since it's too tempting not to eat them immediately.
