Island Princess

I love the first dress you posted. Looks beautiful on you.

The colour looks amazing and really suits you!

Well I have booked my hair and makeup trial for this december for my wedding planning trip to Hawaii on the way to the states for xmas/New Years... oh so very excited. I will post pics and give a review for anyother brides who may be considering Christine Gardner/Flaunt makeovers.

G'Day Girls, Im in a bit of a rut. We are flying to Hawaii on the way over to the mainland for Xmas/New Years and I am having my hair and makeup trial (Early I know, but we thought we would tie in our wedding planning trip and holiday in one) However I am having troubles trying to find some decent white silk orchid hair flowers to take with me for my trial. Does anyone know of any good websites that have good silk flowers that they could recommend? Thanks !!!!

My heart goes out to the ones that didnt make it and a speedy recovery for Travis and DJ AM. Amazing guys!

Hey Mary, I think it will be a great idea. Your family who wont be able to attend can really appriciate it.

I heard the exact same things girls! Its so devastating!! I had my heart set on my dream beautiful beach set up. Does anyone know if these rules would apply on locations on the lawns infront of the beach??

Aloha to another Hawaiian Bride. Congrats and happy planning

G'Day Amy!! You boarding pass invites look amazing. Could you please email a copy of your templates? [email protected] Thanks

Hey There The Old Lahaina Luau was a great place. The food was great compared to other Luaus I have been to. You will have a great time.

Photos are so cute!! Make me excited for my Hawaiian Wedding. Congrats!

Anyone been to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel Luau?? I know it is currently closed for renovations but was thinking we may have our reception there.

Im sorry haha but I think Spencer is the biggest loser. Heidi could do soo much better.

Thanks everyone for your helpful info!! I will have to hit the shops when I get over there for some WARM outfits as I cant find any in Sydney

Just think the whole deal was for publicity... definatley wont last!!

Heyya, I came across this very interesting article. If you have time, take a read. Hawaii Weddings Hawaii & Oahu wedding Packages Weddings in Hawaii Im a little upset that I wont be able to have my dream wedding ceremony set up with only 8 chairs and a bamboo arch I think i just have to settle for my flower pathway and a table. What does everyone think bout the new laws? I understand it is to protect the environment but hey there are alot of people who can do a lot worse to the environment than an actual wedding ceremony. Arrrggh haha just had to vent some anger!

G'Day !! This is totally not a wedding related question but has anyone been to Las Vegas for New Years?? And is it super cold at night?? I will be coming from Australia warm warm weather and going to NY AND VEGAS over Christmas/ New Years and have no idea what I could wear! Any suggestions?? Christie

Thanks so much girls for posting your helpful links! You have been very helpful

In regards to having a ceremony there, I would recommend keeping your hair up because it can get windy and blow your hair across your face (that kills the photos its also important to remember that sunset can not usually be seen from this side of the Island because the mountains are TALL. I would send pics from previous events but i'm a vendor and not allowed to post images until my 100th message. I hope this info helps! Shawn Starr Hey Shawn, Thanks for the info!! I would love to see your pics! Do you have a website? My FI and I are now thinking of stopping in Hawaii in December to check out locations etc! Very Very excited Cant wait to visit Waimanlo from your description!

Heya Girls, Anyone know where I can find any flowy short bridesmaid dresses online?? I would love them in either a turquiose or aqua color If anyone has seen anything I would love to see the links you may have. Christie

G'Day Sarah! Your monograms look awesome! As soon as our wedding date is confirmed I will get you to design ours! Looking forward to working with you. Christie

Her portfolio looks amazing! Hopefully I can have her and make me a beautiful bombshell hehe Airbrushing looks awesome

G'Day, Just wondering if anyone has ever been to Waimanalo Beach, Oahu, Hawaii?? We are thinking about having our ceremony there however we have not actually been there I can only judge by the beautiful pictures. I would like to hear everyone's reviews if they have been there! Thanks heaps

G'Day Carly, Welcome to the forum! Have you ever been to Waimanalo Beach in Oahu? If so what are your thoughts?? Bit hard to just pop over there from Australia haha Looking forward to hearing from you. Christie

My FI and I have been together for 4 years in November (We were engaged on our 3 Year anniversary) and would have been together 5 years and a bit when we get married
