A Playful Tropical Wedding

We designed this very fun and playful wedding last summer at a private estate on the North Shore of Oahu.  What made this wedding so fun and unique were the elements incorporated into the designs.  Natural elements like succulents, starfish, coral & driftwood were intertwined with florals for an organic and eclectic look, while the addition of mason jars and local flowers introduced a vintage and tropical feel to the designs.  The array of color and interesting textures made each design truly unique.  The floral colors focused on bold tropical shades of red, orange, and hot pink to contrast with the bride's favorite shade of sea foam green, which we used for the ceremony and the reception through the fabric draping.   This wedding was quite memorable and such fun to design!

Candes and Milan - Part 2

Candes and Milan's Wedding was truly the epitomy of romance and elegance. The choices for florals created more than just beautiful arrangements.  Implementing fragrant herbs (mint, thyme, rosemary) and tuberose, raspberry vines and pink cymbidiums, delicate garden roses and ranunculus, these arrangements were simply breathtaking.

A dramatic 50' wall of crystals sparkled throughout the night.

 

Custom dupioni silk table linens in antique gold covered the U shaped table.  

Dripping amaranthus added a luxurious texture to the arrangements.

Sandblasted driftwood dripped crystal strands that sparkled in the candlelight. 

 

Hundreds of candles in antique gold and pink candleholders lit the dining table.

Pink cymbidium orchids and baby succulents accented the antique candleholders on each cocktail table.

Lighting created a warm and intimate setting for the guests.  

Five crystal chandeliers hung over the dining table with a large chandelier centered over the dance floor.

 

Bronze candleabras accented the escort card table.

Sheer champagne rose fabric draped the tent legs as amber lighting cast a soft opulant glow.

 

Spectacular crystal chandeliers lit up the night in the clear top tent.

The Platinum crew!  

Look for this Candes and Milan's wedding to be featured on We TV's "Platinum Weddings" to air this summer!  We were thrilled to work with their awesome crew and be a part of their show.
