An email to Wedding Coordinator
Paul form the bride Christine We will be in town on May 7.
Approximate guests (excluding bride and groom): 15 adults and 1 child
confirmed. 6 unconfirmed. (these 6 guest are from China and we won’t know
until they go to US consulate and apply for visas. 50/50 chance to get visas
these days…)
Desired Package Details with custom choices:
Beach Chapel Arch Package (custom)
A white arch decorated like shown in the above picture, except that I would
like to have a white flower center bouquet instead of orange/yellow. I
definitely like the center large bouquet idea.
See following picture for the bouquet sample :
For chairs and setting, I am going for the Blue/yellow color combo shown
like the following picture yellow flower)
Rev Chris. We would like a traditional Christian style. I like
the ceremony outline he linked here:
If we do have Chinese guests coming, my mother will also act as translator
during the ceremony
(something Rev Chris probably needs to know about). And
translation will be taken directly from his script.
solo musician choice
A guitarist who plays Hawaii music. Two hula dancers who will also engage
the guests to dance with after the ceremony. (I understand hula dancers are
extra. Could you please give me a quote?)
Before the ceremony, we’ll have our iPod play the traditional wedding music
while close family enter the site and the big entrance for the bride.
The musician can take over after the ceremony begins. We’d like the hula
dancers to show up around 6:30pm (1 hr after the beginning of the ceremony)
and entertain guests for 1 hour.
What is the normal cost for fire dancer?
We will take care of the 1st dance. We are not slower dancers.. So we’ll do
something a bit crazy ourselves. J
Lei’s for close family and bride and groom:
Groom: Maile lei
Bride: white jasmine flower know as the pikake flower
2 groomsman: yellow plumeria with tea leaf
Bouquets for Bride and Bridesmaids
Bride: Plumeria large bouquet: (pink/yellow combo)
Bridesmaids: same plumeria flowers but much smaller size (the typical size
for the bridesmaids)
Bouquets for the party light pink and yellow plumeria flower bouquets
yes the chairs will have your
choice of flower.

Yes there are actually 3 different cameras used Medium
format, 35 mm and high end digital
If so, can we get the CD with all the photos: yes plus you get all the photos and
the rights plus CDs any extra are given to you!!!!
How long does the photographer normally stay at the wedding?
The wedding photographers usually stay

We are using the white wedding arch with silver white and blue organza material
for the arch
Hi Paul! I just wanted to email you
with all of the details we discussed yesterday.
We are moving to the Turtle Bay
Resort. All of our guests will be staying there as well. We will be
arriving on Thursday May 8th. We scheduled a meeting with you in
Honolulu on Friday May 9th at noon. We are requesting a
bus (the Deluxe mini-coach pictured on your website) to take all of our
guests to our Hawaii
Beach for the wedding. I really don't think the limo will work; I worry
about our parents getting in and out of a limo. You mentioned that you
would provide appetizers, sandwiches, water, and champagne on the bus for
our guests free of charge. A separate car (Lincoln Town Car) will pick me
up at the resort 15 minutes after my guests to take me to the beach. The
car will take me to the beach, but will not need to stay after dropping me
off…as I will ride back on the bus with our guests. Decorations…
here is a photo of us
All white chairs
with white sashes {i want a clean crisp look
Bamboo wedding chapel with sheer white
fabric
An aisle heavy with petals in shades
of hot pink and red
We do not want any other aisle
decoration, only the petals
On the signing table, we would like
ice water and glasses for our guests
In terms of flowers…
We would like lei’s for each of our
guests (14 total…which you mentioned would be complimentary). We would like
the lei’s to be hot pink and red (matching the petals down the aisle) and
similar to those pictured in the “white on white” beach flash gallery
(similar picture in the attachment).
Jared would like a traditional maile
lei (picture in the attachment)
I would like a very small (no larger
than one inch) ALL white head lei
I would also like a very thin all
white, single pearl strand lei for the exchange
I have attached a picture of the
bouquet that I would like. It is important to me that the flowers are
bright and the overall bouquet is medium-sized (not huge), and NO
carnations.
Ceremony…
Lei Hulu Mano will officiate
Photo below of Leihulu mom chanting before the bride is given away
You mentioned that we will be able to
speak with and/or meet her before the ceremony
We would like our ceremony to be
spiritual with Hawaiian chanting…however…it is important to us that it not
be overtly religious. Particularly, we do not want any references to Jesus,
as many of our guests are not Christian.
We think the Beach Chapel package is most
suitable. Looking at the beaches, Oahu has some really
beautiful beach and this is what we had in mind, but another beautiful,
sandy beach would be
fine also. It looks like we will be staying at the Halekulani, so we would like
a beach that is reasonably close to our resort.
We are wondering about
switching out the limo in the package for the trolley or motor coach, whichever
is most cost-effective to transport our guests.
This large tour bus is new to the islands it holds up to 25
people the cost is 45 an hour more than the limo
If you don't want a limo this is available
for you .!!!!
There will be a minimum of 11
guests (including the bride and groom), and perhaps more, though not to exceed
17.
In terms of the ceremony set-up...we would like the beach chapel (I'm assuming
that's the bamboo structure?) with sheer white fabric
covering it and all white
chairs (as in the "white on white" pictures in the flash gallery). We would
like an aisle heavy with petals in shades
of bright pink, hot pink, and red. We
would also like a flower lei (in the pinks and red) on each chair for our
guests. We're also wondering about having water (is champagne allowed?)
Yes champagne is not allowed but you may have some in the
limo, we would have juice and water or soda for your guest which will be
included.
There will be a signing table for your guest.
For the bride's bouquet, we like the bouquet in the flower flash gallery under
the "orchids" heading titled, "love aloha wedding nina 1-143. A similar size
would be nice with a similar hot-pink ribbon...however, we would like a mix of
hot pink and red orchids if possible.
Yes
We would also like an all white lei for
the groom and a small head lei (just less than half the size of all of the lei's
pictured) for the bride with small white flowers.
nor wedding party
bouquets Also, we would like to forgo the flower shower, and just have the
extra petals down the aisle.
We are still looking for a rabbi...if we do not find one we would like Lei Hulu
Mamo to officiate our ceremony.
We would like leihuluMom to be
our Hawaiian minister
solo musician we would like love Hawaiian music played on the ukelele.
Tristen here is a Sun chart for your wedding day !! in May
Hawaiian Red Hibiscus to be our main flower on
the aisle way also to have that flower for your chair bow ornament
Everyone received a lei at our wedding this is a photo of the lei all the
men received, i requested fore the pink
plumeria to be set into the tea leaf lei
