DK Designs Clay Flower Favors Featured in Summer 2008 Issue of For the Bride Magazine!

I finally was able to pick up the Summer 2008 Issue of For the Bride Magazine. I couldn't find it anywhere in Hawaii. I was so bummed because the editor of the magazine told me my clay flowers were featured in the magazine. I went to Barnes & Nobles today and found my copy! My favor boxes were featured in the Table of Contents and on Page 78 of the magazine. The article was more about special touches, but my clay flower favors were the featured photograph and there are credits inside the binding.

This is huge for DK Designs. The last time I got featured in the magazine for my invitations, I got a 330 wedding invitation order! So it goes to show you that people do read the magazines and even when the credits are in the binding, brides will search you out! I'm hoping that I'll get new inquiries once more brides see the favor boxes! :)

Orange Cymbidium Returns

Cymbidiums are my FAVORITE orchid of all time. Personally, I used green cymbidium orchids in my wedding. The wonderful thing about cymbidiums is that they withstand the heat and are a pretty strong variety of orchids so it will look nice your entire wedding day! I love it when brides ask to do an orchid theme. If you didn't already know, orchids symbolize luxury, nobility and lust!

This particular bride wanted an orange cymbidium orchid for her invitations. Not to mention she's getting married at the Fairmonth Orchid! So it seems befitting to have an orchid as her theme. For their reception, they want to go with matching favor boxes with both orange and yellow cymbidium orchids and plans to put hard kona candies inside for her guests. She's even looking at table cards!

This bride came to me via the referral of Bob Brown of Eye Expression Photography. Bob has a great eye for catching some really great moments. I love his eye for details. You can view some of Bob's work on my website on the home page and I hope to post some of the weddings we've worked on together in the coming months!
