In some isle of isles

Pretty Pink Flowers for Autumn

Pink was our most requested color for 2010 fall Hawaii weddings.  We found deep vibrant, luxurious pink in a selection of roses, delicate pink orchids, pink ginger, freesia, mini calla lilies, tulips and of course exotic tropical blooms. All are options for autumnal island celebrations.  

Our October 10 bride requested deep pink flowers in matching tones. We sourced open ruffle edged roses, perfectly matched ranunculus, spray roses, deepest pink mini calla lilies and freesia tied with a matching taffeta ribbon for her Maui wedding.

Her matron of honor carried white roses, mini calla lilies and pink freesia.

 

 

White wedding bouquets & mixed jewel tones for maids

Maui Weddings: Over the past year we have designed many white bouquets for brides using mixed white flowers in a collection of subtle white tones, mixing cream, white white, blush, and white flowers tinged with green, yellow or pink. It is a classic look. You cannot go wrong with this approach. The bridal attendants are carrying flowers colored in a bright mix of jewel or tropical bright tones or a tonal one color bright flower such as a deep jewel toned magenta. Another popular choices for the bridesmaids is green flowers mixed with some of the same white flowers from the brides bouquet.

 

Mixed white flowers for bride include white peonies, creamy roses, gardenia, white hydrangea, white freesia, and white cymbidium orchids with a pink center

Maids carry a mix of jewel toned flowers, purple vanda orchids, yellow, orange and magenta roses and purple hydrangea held together with a cuff of green leaves. Find more examples of white weddings, and white wedding flowers look at our Maui wedding flowers. And at our white wedding page.

Wedding Color Trends: Orange Creates a Perfect Palette.

It seems orange has been an extremely popular choice for brides and Maui Weddings over the past few years.  Maybe Hawaii is just a good place for an orange palette. Orange shows up so nicely in photographs and stands out against all that blue sky, colbalt ocean and green grass as it pairs beautifully with rich turquoise and citron. We have worked with tone on tone orange palettes from pure vibrant  orange to subtle shades of nectarine and mango.   Orange also mixes well with pink and yellow, chocolate brown or copper and green, basically warm tonal blends.  Have a look at some stunning images from recent weddings featuring this vibrant color. 

Above bright orange circus roses, tangerine roses, mango mini calla lilies and orange freesia.

 

  

Embellishments such as buckles, antique pins and crystals fitted into the handle of the bouquet or ribbon add a unique touch to a bridal bouquet.

  

Bird of paradise, orange pin cushions, macara orchids, orange lilies and belles of Ireland fill in the center of the table set off by a chocolate brown taffeta runner. Bamboo canopies draped with sheer fabric are a nice way to create an intimate space for dinner and can be lit with white or colorful lanterns. I like to set the canopy on the grass but as close to the ocean as possible.  This table seats 40 and can be made longer or smaller depending on the number of guests at table.

Destination Maui: Nothing But Blue Sky Weddings

filed under

Today we are featuring a beautiful destination wedding and rehearsal dinner on the island of Maui. The events were designed by wedding planner, Gabrielle Longhi, the creative mind behind Blue Sky Weddings, who grew up surrounded by a family that appreciates fine food and art. The Longhi name is well known in Hawaii, and Gabrielle’s father has passed on his legacy and knowledge of fine food, wine and etiquette. 

Vibrant Green: Exotic Orchids for a Winter Wedding

This year we have had amazing flowers to work with and some inspiring design ideas. Vibrant green and white striped lady slippers, green orchids with orange tints and pale green roses pop the brides bouquet below. Green cymbidium orchids were chosen for the maids bouquets. A collection of white phaleonopsis orchids,  pure white cymbidium orchids, small heart shaped green antheriums and antique hydrangea were used in the centerpieces on the table for this February wedding.
