Teri & Frank - Hilton Waikoloa Village

This morning I finished Teri & Frank's favors for their upcoming wedding at the Hilton Waikoloa Village & Resort. Teri came to DK Designs by way of the wonderful wedding atelier staff at the Hilton. Teri wanted save-the-dates, invitations and favors. This is a style sheet of all the components (or most of them anyway) to give you an idea of what we did for her wedding. Her colors were a turquoise and hot pink. So we went with a hibiscus design since she is getting married after all in Hawaii. We did some scroll work as well whcih worked out nicely.

For Teri's favors, she was so torn on what flower to do. I told her you can do different flowers for the male and female guests as I've had several clients ask for one particular flower for the female guests and maybe a pineapple or a turtle for the male guests. I think these days, anything goes, as long as it's done well! :) So since her wedding was quite small, we went for flowers in whites and pinks (gardenia, cymbidium orchid, hibiscus, plumeria) and for the guys a mixture of pineapples and wooden turtle with mini plumerias and leaves). The ribbons are a light teal organza and rasberry pink silk ribbon and we tied her wedding invitation motif back in with her favor tags to finish them off. So you can see that carrying the theme through from your save-the-dates all the way to your favors truly makes the event unique and all your own. I've had so many clients tell me how much their guests were excited when they received the invitation and to see all the other pieces with the same motif really helped make the event that much more special.

Well, back to my other orders... I hope you like what you see..

Hibiscus Favors

Today I finished the hibiscus favors for my Sheraton Maui Bride. She came to me by way of my Wedding Favors feature on TheKnot.com! This was a quick, last minute order. Only 2 weeks to do it because her wedding date is July 15th! The favors are complete which are shown here. We decided to go with the pink hibiscus with pinkish, yellowish orange centers, a mauvish pink and celadon green ribbons, the favor tag with the hibiscus water color design and the contents - pineappled shaped Butter Macadania Nut shortbread cookies from Honolulu Cookie Company!

All that's left to complete Joanne's order is her hair flowers. Almost done, just have to paint them and dry! Another order almost out the door for another happy couple. The rest of the week I'll be focusing on my #2 Canadian bride, Laura. She loved my Victorian Elegance flowers for my other bride and so I'm creating something for her centered around the same flowers.
