Melissa & Kevin: Love Story + Trailer from Shannon Avery on Vimeo.

Kahaluu Fishpond Sacred and Gorgeous

I am so proud of this wedding. Avery of Green Honolulu went over board when she designed this unique and rustic altar piece. The bride, groom & I struggled to create a masterpiece and Avery made it a reality. She wowed all the guests and bridal party with her decor from table tops to signage. Kahaluu Fishpond was magical & majestic. Ginniberries won the crowd with their amazing sauces, presentation and quality of food. Thanks to the very talented Ruth Anne we all get to look back and enjoy her photos. Accel Party Rentals had the perfect over size tables to accommodate our beautiful burlap runners & an array of florals. Scott stayed to ensure perfection. Thank you Scott! Pacific Party Rentals provided us with the tenting, staging and lighting. What a team!!! They are off the hook!

Pops of Color at Malaekahana Wedding

Deb Di Bella wowed me with her artistry in creating these centerpieces. Vintage cake platter, mason jars and bottles made up this eccentric table top. Jana Morgan captured the loveliness of the day.

Sunset Ranch My favorite Oahu Venue right now

Corinne Gold took these amazing shot at Sunset Ranch on the North Shore of Oahu. Marie Blooms designed the herb accent bouquets for the bride. Alicia who looked beautiful (thanks to Faith & Beauty & Charles were the loveliest couple and really enjoyed every minute of their wedding day.

Puamana Best Trio in Hawaii

I don't have to say much about Puamana, they are wonderful! They are true Hawaiian from their demeanor to their music. Your guests will fall in love with them. Jana Morgan captured this here.

Pasadena Wedding at Villa Del Sol de Orro

I'm sad that I never got professional shots from the photographer so these will have to do (taken from my out of date camera phone). My favorite altar piece yet! Kumquat Trees that were given to their parents to be planted after their gorgeous use on wedding day. Modern Day Design added touches of terracotta pots, sliced open grapefruits and tons of California spring flowers. Villa Del Sol De Ora was the beautiful estate the ceremony & reception took place. Cover 2 Cover Music kept the liveliness of the ceremony & reception music.
