I am a huge fan of letterpress printing and when Stacey Nomura, the Owner and Creative Director at Bradley & Lily sent over these amazing photos and catalog, I couldn’t help but drool all over them! I am just excited that we finally have a letterpress printing/stationery company here on the islands, and I can’t wait to recommend them to my clients!
Check out some of these great invitations! Here is what Stacey said:
Mokulua Invitation Suite
For her wedding invitation suite, the bride requested a two-color letterpress design that would reflect her upbringing across from the Mokulua Islands and also incorporate a vintage feel.

K+F Invitation Suite
With a groom from Ireland and a bride with Hawaiian roots, our mission was to meld the two cultures together on paper. The three-color invitation was letterpressed on ecru metallic paper. We used a breezy, casual script for the names to contrast the drama of the heavily layered invitation to set a fresh and fun tone for the wedding. The custom Celtic style monogram was used on the custom postage stamp, faux wax seal and menu.

Whenever Darren and I head back home to San Francisco, I always try to meet up with my industry friends. December is usually our slow wedding season, and it’s nice to be able to catch up with one another. Last night, we had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants - Ana Mandara with a few of my good friends:

Denise at Kapalua Spa invited all of the wedding coordinators for a preview night last night. I brought with me my good friends and wedding colleagues who are visiting from San Francisco this week - Nancy of Nancy Liu Chin Designs and KC of Kevin Chin Photography. We had such a blast! Nancy and KC even won a $125 gift certificate for the Merriman’s Kapalua.
KC forgot to bring his camera so I loaned him mine and he took some amazing photos. Please check out our photography blog for more photos.
I am so excited to announce the launch of my 2nd company, a joint venture with my hubby, Darren. Please check out our new website and blog and leave us a comment!
Abena and Omar’s wedding on Saturday was absolutely amazing. Everyone was soooo sweet and had a wonderful time. Abena’s grandmother flew all the way from Ghana to attend the wedding. It was such a special day for all.
