The Ritz Carlton Kapalua Maui wedding ~ photos by Mike Adrian

I was very excited to received these gorgeous images from Maui photographer Mike Adrian today. The wedding of Hien and Paul took place at the Ritz Carlton Kapalua in Maui. The day could not have been more perfect. The bride had chosen muted blush tones for her wedding. She carried an ALL ‘Gardenia’ bouquet. As many of you know, Gardenias are my all time favorite! I love the Gardenias from Maui. They are much larger then the ones we are use to here in Southern California. Each bloom is hand wired together to form a gorgeous fragrant round bouquet. This is definitely the labor of Love as it is tedious and very time consuming. We are so happy to say that we are able to replicate the weddings we design in San Diego to Hawaii. The ceremony overlooked the crystal blue ocean on the Napili lawn. The reception was in the Plantation ballroom where we introduced the lace top linens from Wildflower linens. The Plantation room looked so romantic with amber lighting and soft glow of our candles on each guest table. Each guest table was adorn with large floral arrangement bursting with hundreds of roses, hydrangeas, orchids leis and white phalaenopsis orchids. The crystal embellishment of course always gives the room the extra sparkles. We can’t wait to go back to Hawaii…Thanks Mike for these incredible images!

Ritz Carlton at Kapalua Wedding: Karen Tran loves Maui

Who can resist paradise? Every opportunity we get, we would hop on the plane in a heart beat to our favorite destination. Hawaii! We are happy to announce that Karen Tran Florals is available to travel and service all Islands of Hawaii. This pass year, we had several opportunities to design and helped plan Hawaii destination wedding for a couple of our favorite brides. Last May, we visited the Four Seasons Wailea in Maui. That wedding will be feature in Ceremony Magazine Orange County coming up soon in January. So stay tune for more photos!
Our recent wedding took place at the Ritz Carlton Kapalua in Maui. If you are a golfer, this is your paradise. Surrounded by beautiful golf courses, including my very favorite ‘Plantation Golf Course’. The Ritz Carlton Kapalua is perched on a knoll overlooking one of the world’s famous beaches.
This wedding was set on Napilli lawn with a dramatic coast line backdrop where we built our signature wedding canopy. The neutral tones with hints of pale pink were used throughout the wedding. The celebration continued to the Plantation ballroom where large floral display were used in every guest table. Wildflower linens provided the beautiful lace overlay with the chair caps. The bride opted for an All white Gardenia bouquet with a simple crystal brooch. We had a lot of fun ‘blinging’ up all the bridesmaids bouquets as well.
I look forward to many more weddings in Hawaii this coming year! We are so very excited that we can now offer this service. Aloha!

Regal Renaissance Tabletop

Contrasting colors can enliven once ordinary hues into eye catching magic. In this table top, we paired a gorgeous blue iridescent taffeta linen from Wildflower linens with hues of peach, blush, and gold for a subtle and elegant display. A vintage iron urn overflowing with apricot orange and pale roses is the focal point for this intimate baroque styled table. Just a touch of feathers and gold accents add romantic flair. Now just imagine Louis XIV having an afternoon lunch, sipping champagne out of gold rimmed flutes in the gardens of Versailles.

Photo shoot at Rancho Valencia Resort

The latest issue of Exquisite Weddings Magazine is hot off the press and includes this tabletop that we did at the Rancho Valencia Resort. We love LOVE this magazine! It’s packed with tons of fabulous pictures and great weddings. This Spanish Mediterranean resort had a fantastic waterfall that we wanted to showcase. A rustic urn was filled with white hydrangea and ivory vendela. Once the sun began to set, the votive candles really started to work their magic. What I love about mercury glass is that it’s so versatile and able to pick up any color. Here, it picks up the romantic glow of the candles and a touch of the brick tiles. In with the old and in with the new, was what we were going for in this photo shoot. Edgy Kool Chairs and geometric crystal candle holders were juxtaposed with vintage lace and a soft palate. Blush and beige Sahara roses were the base for an abundance of phalaenopsis orchids. Tapered candles contributed glimmering candlelight. I’m absolutely smitten with this sensual tan crushed velvet linen, courtesy of Wildflower Linens.

The Bride and Bloom magazine winter issue 09: our tabletop feature

Karen — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 14:00:18 +0000

I just adore this magazine! Bride and Bloom is elegant and packed with the latest bridal trends. I’m ultra thrilled that our ‘Tropical Bliss’ tabletop was featured in their latest issue (page 142). This was shot at the Waterfall Terrace in the beautiful L’auberge Del Mar: a perfect venue for this pacific rim inspired tablescape. The striking magenta phaleanopsis contrasted beautifully against the slate colored backdrop. For this tabletop decor, we used the popular paillette overlay from Wildflower linens. The sequins pattern paired perfectly with this fuchsia palette, while its brilliant sparkle echoes the trickling waterfall behind it. Special shout out to Darin Fong Photography for the awesome images. Below are some additional photos….
