Pacific Aisle Style

Happy Aloha Friday!

It's Aloha Friday! This week has certainly been a big week for some of our Pacific Aisles Brides...  

As of the end of the work day today, Bride-to-be, Carissa *ihartblu* Hermosillo, is officially on vacation and packing her bags to head to the islands, along with Groom-to-be, Mike Caloud, for their upcoming October 9th wedding that we're all really excited about. 

The email exchanges (not to mention the handful of meetings) between us over the last year or so have been pure comedy, so no doubt this will be a fun wedding!  We can't wait for THE DAY to finally be here, AND OF COURSE,  we can't wait to share some fun photos of this COLORFUL and intimate Lanikuhonua wedding. 

In other news, Pacific Aisles bride, Tamar Wong, stole the show at Art After Dark at the  Honolulu Academy of Arts earlier this week with her debut fashion show featuring her 2010 Resort Collection for Tori Richard. 

To top it off, Tamar was recently the feature of a great article in the San Francisco Chronicle. We've definitely noticed the comeback that Tori Richard has made, especially for the younger, twenty to thirty-something well dressed set at a lot of our weddings, and no doubt, Tamar has had a big part in making that happen.   We know that this moment has always been a big dream for her, and we are thrilled to see her shine. Congratulations Tamar, we are so proud of you!

 

And finally, Happy Anniversary to Brandy Ledford & Ali Davoudian who tied the knot last October on the Garden Isle of Kauai.  We couldn't believe a whole year had gone by since their gorgeous white wedding, when we got an email from Brandy sharing some exciting news: First, that they'd be celebrating their first anniversary together in Europe, and second, that she would be guest starring on Wednesday night's episode of Modern Family on ABC.  Congratulations Brandy! We loved it!

Happy Weekend!

Back on the Blogging Band Wagon

I know, i know.  It's been a REALLY long time since i've posted anything to the Pacific Aisles blog.  What can i say,  it was a busy spring & summer here in the Hawaiian Islands, and last month's two weddings rounded out an amazing summer wedding season. Congratulations to all of our spring and summer newlyweds:

Mio Osaki & Sean Gano Loulu Palm Estate, North Shore Oahu

Jackie Lee & Siggy Ferstl Loulu Palm Estate, North Shore Oahu

Danielle Blecha & Arash Bashirullah Lanikuhonua Oahu

Vicky Marquez & Jason Crowder Molii Gardens at Kualoa Ranch Oahu

Jessica Fung & Michael Ho  Lanikuhonua Oahu

Jenny Shum & Starr Tze  Lanikuhonua Oahu

Teyhou Smyth & Adam Vittozzi Secret Island and Molii Gardens at Kualoa Ranch Oahu

Amy King & Brian Wells Loulu Palm Estate, North Shore Oahu

Tanisha Estrada & Jessie Jimenez Private Estate, North Shore Oahu

Betty Lee & Kent Kurihara Puakea Ranch Big Island of Hawaii

We hope to post sneak peak snapshots and eventually the pro photos from these amazing weddings soon.

Meanwhile, we are looking forward to upcoming fall and winter weddings:  Carissa Hermosillo & Mike Caloud (Lanikuhonua), Carol Fu & Keith Hamasaki (Turtle Bay bound), Heather Lew & Stuart Bachelder (Loulu Palm Estate), Paradis Uyehara & Mark Reed (ringing in the new year at the Westin Moana Surfrider) and Lisa Burgess & David Weinberg (Lanikuhonua bound).

And... Welcome aboard to our newest couples:  Becky Rivera & Micah Stevens (tying the knot at the Four Seasons Hualalai, Big Island), Nicole Partington & Dean Burge (getting hitched at Ihilani at Ko Olina), Jana Yee and Josh Lam (planning a unique celebration at their family estate on Oahu).  I'm so excited to see what we dream up together for your big day!

Hot off the Press!

Full of gorgeous editorial, fantasy tabletops, real wedding features and some of the best and brightest wedding vendors in the islands, the latest issue of Hawaii Bride & Groom is set to impress!  We've enjoyed seeing this locally published magazine come into it's own and rival some of the best bridal publications in the industry, since publishers Julie Aragaki and Gavin Kobayashi purchased the magazine in 2006. We have to say that this is their best issue yet, and not JUST because one of our real weddings is featured on pages 56 - 60!

Bye Bye Blue

That's right! We are kissing our baby blue hues goodbye as we unveil the new look of Pacific Aisles, Inc.

It's been a long time coming, and while the blue that reminds us of our warm Hawaiian ocean and unending blue skies (not to mention those heart melting Tiffany's boxes) will always hold a special place in our heart, we're so excited to update our look and share it with the world!

Bye Bye Blue, THINK PINK!

Pop the Champagne!

Pacific Aisles is celebrating our 8th year of helping lucky destination and local couples tie the knot in our Hawaiian Isles.

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate then to pop open a bottle of champagne (Moet & Chandon Imperial Nectar please!) and revel in the time and moments we've shared with the hundreds of couples from far and wide that have trusted their Hawaiian Island wedding plans to the wedding belles at Pacific Aisles Inc.

We dedicate this weblog to our happy couples, future clients, and of course, friends in the industry who we couldn't do what we do without...
