Outrigger Reef Waikiki Voyager Rooftop Wedding










I've already told you how much fun this couple is and was.  The escort tree, the tables were named after famous buildings in their hometown of Pittsburgh.  This was truly Hawaiian Tropical Elegance.  How cute are their babies going to be;) 

All photos by the wonderful and loved by me Stephen & Litton Ludwig. 
Cake by the amazing and perfectionists; Paradise Pastries.

For Such a Time Designs Customized Fork and Knife

My absolute favorite Etsy designer!  Aly with For Such a Time Designs does wonderful custom designs on forks, spoons, knives, etc.  She creates lasting memories!  I'm a huge fan of using a fork and knife set instead of or with a cake knife on your wedding day to cut your cake.  Or how about eating with your "Mr" & "Mrs" fork on our wedding day.  Or surprise your  parents, bridal party with their initials and have them at their seat on their wedding day.  We did it and our family loved it!  Every time I open my cutlery drawer I am taken back to the best day of my life.  Life tastes this good!  Aly not only gave great customer service and got our orders in quickly with perfection, she is a sweetheart!  You really feel as if each piece was made with love, devotion and passion.

Queen Emma Summer Palace Rehearsal Dinner




I adore the Queen Emma Summer Palace off the Pali Hwy on Oahu. It eludes royalty, elegance and mana (power). The tall green trees that surround the palace in all it's splendor provides shade and noise reduction from the highway. You feel like you have taken a trip back to the days of the monarchy. The photo ops are incredible. You can offer a tour of the palace as guests arrive or during the cocktail hour. Enjoy dining rooms, bedrooms and living area set just as they were many years ago. The koa wood furniture, decor, feathers and garb are all on display for your enjoyment.
