Jen and Sean's Wedding

What a weekend it has been.  Gelston shot some pictures for us of Jen and Sean's wedding at the beautiful St. Regis.  The whole team is exhausted, but already preparing for the ones this week!  It makes it easier when you love what you are doing...

We had these pictures shot at about 2pm the day of the setup - as you can see the napkins and stemware weren't placed yet..  Inspired by ocean breaks, what you don't see is the custom napkin.  It was equally as cool as the  chair sashes we designed.    Jen's dress was amazing and had the same feel - but in white/ivory of course.  Love the drapery in this room.  It's a perfect canvas that keeps the room clean and crisp in feel.  At night the lighting really brought this room to life with cooling shades of blues and turquoise. 

 Aqua color bubbles and glass adorned vases, dripping with turquoise color crystals.  The florals accented with White Albino Peacock Feathers.

 Used LED candles per clients request.  Loved these new wax floaters we got, all our LEDs are wax, and pretty great.  Consider them for Outside.  Inside go for FIRE!   Real Candlelight Always Wins!

 The After Party Lounge and Cabanas.  The Structures just Drink in the Lighting.  Gorg!

Later (after the pictures were taken) we strung gorgeous Black Crystals in the interior giving it a Edgy Modern Feel.

 Simple.  I just loved these cocktail table florals we did.  So Simple. 

OK.  We had to go to the backup plan which involved a clear top tent.  We quickly went into action and draped the poles with flowy ivory chiffon that went gorgeously with our drapy chiffon chair sleeves.  Dripping from the ceiling of the tent were orchids and crystals that we were going to put in the trees.  Lining the Aisle were 5,000 orchids.  And flanking the entry were trios of florals surrounding the most amazing pedestal Impressive Entry florals made from luxurious Phaleonopsis Orchids.  I'm not going to lie, we were not loving the idea of having to do the backup but OMG the client was thrilled with the results (and we were pleased to say the least).   We are already busy working on a complete design for this clear tent.  So much inspiration came from this wedding and the backup plan we were dreading.   O my, did that rhyme.

A Spontaneous Affair...

Enjoy these pictures from a wedding about 2 weeks ago.  We only were introduced and started talking to this couple about 2 weeks prior to that but pulled together some gorgeous flowers for this spontaneous affair for 30.

Dinner with MRD...

Recently, all of us at MRD finally were able to break away and have a long overdue holiday party at the NEW Club at Kukui`ula.  Yes, you heard it, holiday party...as in Christmas/New Years party.  It was a bit tardy because we were busy tending to our fabulous clients every need.  We broke away and spent some wonderful time with each other reflecting on a great 2010!  Dode came up with the table design, wanting to show the team something different than events we've been doing.  He was inspired by glass, copper and palm trees.  Check out how it and we all came together for a great time.

Thank you to Michael C. Armstrong for capturing our moment.

What Rhymes with Orange?

I don't know, but these are beautiful...

Bold and Bright and Beautiful.

Here are some photos from a wedding we did last summer.  Such gorgeous bouquets.  It was a simple ceremony and the bridal party was in neutrals.  The pop of color and drama was added at the reception where we draped the room in gorgeous saturated fuchsia, tangerines, and apple greens.  It really was a wonderful event that created drama without creating drama (if that makes any sense at all!).

Fresh, White and Yellows. Love it.

Yellow certainly isn't a favorite color or mine, but there is something about it that is so fresh and vibrant. .  Here is a glimpse at Nicole and Ryan's wedding.  It was raining as we were setting up but the moment Nicole started walking down the aisle the clouds cleared and it was a beautiful ceremony.

Urgh!  Mic Stand & Table in the way of Perfection!

"Farm to Table" Rehersal Dinner

We are so lucky and honored to experience some of the most amazing places on Kauai.  This particular venue an Organic Farm tucked between the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, a Coffee Plantation, and a beautiful reservoiur. 

When we think of a rehersal dinner, we think casual 90% of the time.  A Farm to Table event couldn't have been better.  Three 48" long tables with a definitive color palate in orange, green, or red with elements harvested from the Farm.  We then hung lanterns utilizing a mix of the three colors.  Really, somethiing so simple just looked so chic - yet still maintained a casual, relaxed feel.
