-I would like the bridal bouquet to be very pink and made up of lillies (pink calla lillies and pink orchids). Also for the bridal bouquet please make sure it is NOT cascading (i.e. hanging flowers) --> pictures attached
cut and pinned ........ off white ivory //// pearl pins running down the side,/ for the bridal party just calla lilies/
--I really like the idea of having the 4 bridesmaids have a few calla lillies (preferably in pink) --> I have attached a picture of
--Regarding the back of the chairs I like the idea of blue and/or turquoise sashes with a pink flower (perhaps a cutting of fuschia bouganvilla or a pink stargazer lilly)
pink hibiscus and fuscia bougainvilla
--4 leis for the parents in the lei ceremony (perhaps white and purple orchids)
dads kukui and shell.. double tuberose.....pink ribbon for the moms, green ribbon for the dads,,,,,
--5 maile leis for the groom and groomsmen ,,, tea leaf maile leis for the groomsmen and the maile for the groom,
--Flower shower of pink flowers (could be roses or orchids)
--I still would like a flower runway with all white plumeria with alittle yellow in the center- perhaps lined with yellow and pink hibiscus for the chairs bows

I would like to do the mixing of sand - I want royal blue sand and then sand from Waimanalo to mix together. I would like my dad to blow the conch shell after the ceremony so he can bring that himself.

I would like to have my makeup and my mom's done at the hotel. Also I would like to have a manicure/pedicure for myself and perhaps
manicures for three of my bridesmaids done the morning of the wedding. No hair stylist is needed.
