Outdoor weddings

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

One of the biggest challenges that we face with any outdoor destination weddings is the inclement weather.  Gusty wind and pouring rain… we get them all here in Hawaii, especially between the months of November and March.  But even during our regular wedding months, there will still be a constant breeze from the ocean.  Here [...]

After a close call of a fast-moving storm last week, the weather turned perfect just in time for Michelle and Henry’s wedding on Saturday… sunny, blue skies, very breezy but not a drop of rain though… and we also had a beautiful sunset!  Here is a sneak peek of what’s to come very soon!  Stay [...]

In remembrance of Carolyn Tam

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I came home late Saturday night after a wedding in Makena.  As I unwound and checked my Facebook messages, my heart sank when I found out that one of my high school friends, Carolyn, had lost her battle to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) last Thursday, April 23rd in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

She was diagnosed with the [...]

San Francisco Style Unveiled has finally launched yesterday.  Woohoo!  I have been following the Los Angeles one for a while now and am so glad they have one for the bay area.  Even though I have lived in LA for 12 years and San Francisco for 6 only, I always tell everyone that SF is [...]

Evonne Wong & Yvonne Wong! :)

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

About 2 months ago, I found my “long lost twin sister” online!  First, you have Evonne Wong the wedding planner from Maui, and then you have Yvonne Wong the wedding photographer from Washington State!  What are the odds of having 2 Evonne/Yvonne Wong’s in the wedding industry, huh?!?!

I get excited every time when I receive invitation samples in the mail. Melina Szapiro of PapelVivo in Vancouver, Canada sent me these amazing invitations and stationery products.  I especially love the letterpress and the embossing ones…
This is what they wrapped their samples in:

And here are just a few samples that were in that packet:

What is Weebly…

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Last July, I blogged about personal wedding websites that you can share with your guests on all the information of your destination wedding.  But besides the guests, it’s also important to share your ideas and inspirations with those who are helping you plan and put together your most special day.  That’s where WEEBLY comes in!

A windy, but beautiful wedding!

Friday, April 17th, 2009

After 6 months of waiting, I finally get to see Ketty and Shaun’s wedding highlight video.  Believe me, it’s so worth the wait.  Anton Lorimer of Lorimerworks from the San Francisco bay area did an amazing job and he was so fun to work with as well.  And without further ado, here it is…

Thanks, Anton [...]
