The Wedding of Erin and Brad Hawaiian

 really like the texture the rock patterns add to the scene in the  set up. I also like the soft and delicate look of the color scheme and the flowers. I like the simple/classy look of "gold," especially in the first few pictures. I'm thinking the gold would also go really well with my fiancé (Bradley Eskew)'s uniform. I really like the Lavender Daisy set up too. I think it is because the arch at the front and the alter (in the first few pictures) looks so sweet and the flowers along the aisle are so delicate and pretty.

     with the tulle and the flower and greenery trim. The table in that one is also very pretty. As I mentioned on the phone, the whole beach wedding concept is new and fascinating to me and I'm excited to hear suggestions and advice on color schemes and set ups that you think would best capture the highlights of the beach for our ceremony.

    Bradley is planning to wear his green dress army uniform, and I'll wear a traditional white wedding dress and veil. I tend to shy away from orange in general and I prefer lighter colors to super bright colors.

    - A bouquet. I like the one on the far left [red/white] in the attached picture from your website. It doesn't necessarily have to be that color, I just like that design. I also like the Plumeria or Orchid bouquet examples. And the other bouquet picture from your website I'm attaching. - A flower shower (I think... this is the petals on the aisle, right?)

    - I am interested in the video taping of the ceremony. Just the basic video though, not with the introductory view of honolulu shot from the helicopter and such. This is optional for me though, the pictures are the most important, so if we could get a difference in price with/without basic video.

    - I'm not sure what the music options are? We saw a harpist and either flute, cello or violin mentioned on the website, which I think would be beautiful during the ceremony. Is there a sound system if we went with recorded music instead? If we can know the difference in price with/without live musicians.

    The ceremony will be 2 p.m. May  in Hawaii. Especially in the face of the sudden change of plans, Bradley and Erin are very grateful for the blessing, love and support expressed by both their parents and a host of other family and friends who are coming together to make their wedding day special.
    Bradley and Erin are both excited to announce their plans to get married on a beautiful private beach in Hawaii, followed by dinner with family and friends on a cruise ship. Their celebration will continue Saturday at a military ball.
    Invitations are scheduled to go out sometime toward the end of April. If you have moved in the last couple of years or have some other reason to doubt that we have your current mailing address, please look Erin up on Facebook and send it to her. If you intend to come out to Hawaii to join in the festivities,

Hawaiian island wedding

It has been your dream to head off to a lush, tropical paradise for your wedding, and it has finally all fallen into place for you to have a destination wedding in the Hawaiian Islands. As important as it is to you to get married at your tropical locale, it may be difficult for the majority of your family and friends to travel with you to attend the event. How do you handle a wedding with a lack of family and friends in attendance?

The first thing you want to do is work with your local Hawaiian wedding planner to make sure none of the venues you are choosing will make your wedding seem small. Have them scope out intimate settings, or consider décor that will minimize a large locale so your guests “fill” the location.

Keep your expectations realistic. Your wedding is, of course, the biggest day of your life, but if your grandparents or the groom’s parents are elderly or not well, traveling may not be an option. Consider how you will all feel if someone important is unable to attend. Your lifelong dream may be to have your father walk you down the aisle, but if for some reason he is unable to travel, will it ruin your entire wedding?

An option many couples choose is to have their destination wedding with however many people can attend, and then plan for a larger celebration when they get home. This allows you to get married in the romantic location you dream about, but it also gives those people who are closest to you the chance to share in the joy of your wedding celebration. This is something that your wedding coordinator in Hawaii can help with as well. While they won’t be able to direct you to a venue in your area, they can aid you in choosing items from Hawaii that you can either bring back with you when you return to your hometown, or they can suggest items you might want to order so you can recreate your Hawaiian atmosphere in your party location.

Many couples are opting for destination weddings, and families and friends are usually understanding and appreciative of you fulfilling your wedding dreams. Don’t, however, forget the people left behind. Try to do something – even if it’s on a very small scale – to let them know you wanted them to share in on your paradise wedding.

Save the date wedding cards info

To begin with, a save the date card might be in order. If you are planning your wedding at a very popular wedding or event season (like June), if your wedding coincides with a holiday, or if you are planning a destination wedding, a save the date card will help your guests know to keep your date open so they can start planning to travel to your destination, or so they don’t accept an invitation from someone else.

Invitations come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Long gone are the days where you chose white or ivory with black lettering. You can have all different types of papers, various fonts, and a variety of colors for both the paper and the text. You could choose to have your enveloped lined with a satin or metallic looking liner that matches your invitations. Decide if you want your return address pre-printed on your envelopes. The post office requires the return address, and this will save you a lot of time.

Beyond invitations, you have to determine whether or not there is a need for a reception card and a response card. The most formal invitations beg for a formal reception card – a card upon which the guest will find your reception information. A less formal affair can get away with a footnote on your invitation with the necessary information.

A response card is the card enclosed with your invitation where your guests will indicate whether or not they can attend your wedding. For the most formal invitations, these cards are a must, and it is your obligation to put a stamp on the return envelope. If your invitations and your wedding are more casual, you can just include on the printed invitation a phone number or an email address where guests can give you their RSVP.

Many brides also opt to purchase thank you notes that match or at least coordinate with their wedding stationery. Another nice thing to have if you will be moving after your wedding is an “at home” card. This card can be added to your invitation mailing, or you can send it with your thank you notes or separately. It gives your friends and family the new address where you can be reached.

Work with your wedding planner to help you decide what of these items are necessary. What a fortunate time brides are in to have so many options for style and theme for their stationery!
