Romantic Kapalua Wedding + Reception

From the Badgley Mischka shoes to the Merriman's sit down dinner- I was so excited to work with this bride (and groom)- the girl has STYLE + GREAT taste!  Kapalua Bay was the backdrop to their intimate wedding ceremony with the smell of tuberose in the air- E KOMO MAI ("Welcome" to Maui)!  Here are a few words to paint the picture: limo, turberose leis, ukulele, butterflies, hula, award winning food + luscious libations!  As always, Merriman's delivered SCRUMPTIOUS food + drinks and FIVE STAR service late into the night!  Congrats to Susanna and Saeid!

A Royal Tea Party

When my daughter's best friend, Reese, flew to Maui for her 4th birthday (with a broken leg, poor thing) I knew I had to help whip together a party for her and all of her little friends!  What can you do with a broken leg in Maui?  Have a princess tea party, of course!  Reese and her friends enjoyed two, two-tier platters of miniature desserts from Whole Foods, tea sandwiches, crudites and of course, tea (pink lemonade).  No princess tea party is complete without jewelry making, makeovers, mani/pedis and of course, a pinata...... and champagne for the chaperons!!!  Happy 4th Birthday Reese!
