Pineapple Panache!
Since the pineapple has long been a symbol of gracious hospitality, good cheer,
and family affection, what could be more fitting for a wedding theme? This fabulous cake was designed for Pacific WEDDINGS by Carmen Emerson-Bass of Cake Couture. Issue no. 12 contains dozens of wedding ideas celebrating the exotic, beloved fruit.
Whimsical invitations by Kinohi Designs are a fun way to announce your nuptials, but no matter what your style, you’ll find the pineapple is a popular icon for wedding stationery.
We love these Limoges-style pineapple boxes. A tiny note of aloha can be tucked inside for guests to find at their place settings.
Floral designer Debbie Hemingway created this bouquet of green cymbidium orchids and ivory roses crowned with adorable miniature pinapples.
Hiring a wedding agency to pull all these details together is a must, especially if you’re planning from a distance. The coordinators at White Orchid Wedding see things differently. Created nearly twenty years ago, White Orchid has grown to be Hawaii’s award winning wedding agency. If you’re dreaming of a Maui wedding, look no further.
A Lasting Impression

if the wedding shoe fits…
If there is one guilty pleasure that all girls share it is shoes. There is no limit to the number of boots, flats, heels, and sandals we can squeeze into our closets. A wedding presents the perfect opportunity to give-in to that “Do I really need another pair of Manolo’s?” moment. Yes you do, but your bridesmaids may opt for less flash. Direct them to anthropologie.com for the cutest selection of bright sandals and flats to express their personal style. We are loving the summer sale (a little too much)!

Couture Flower Girls
Hi, this is Tootie, and I am PW’s junior editor-at-large. I just wanted to ask if you’re tired of the same old “foofy” flower girl dresses? I know I am. As a model, I have tried on so many different dresses, and I want to see a change in all of the little flowergirl dresses–who said that they had to look so young?? The designers could make the dresses a little more casual and a lot more unique. I happened upon this great little pink dress while shopping aimlessly (blissfully!) at juicycouture.com. When the bride asks your opinion, tell her “Let’s go Juicy!” Toodles! ~Tootie

wedding style: endless summer
Make Your Wedding the Beginning of an Endless Summer with a vintage-style wedding cake inspired by a 1950s painting from Hawaii. Featured in issue no. 5 of Pacific WEDDINGS, the unforgettable cake is bedecked with whimsical his-and-her surf toppers and fondant tiers iced to reflect the Pacific Ocean.
Look radiant on your wedding day with Evolution Surf’s Microdermabrasion Scrub. The bamboo has a relaxing and hydrating effect that will leave your skin flawless. Although the line of surf-inspired products is more than you might expect to pay, this is one well worth it!
Since this day is mostly about the bride, shouldn’t the groom look absolutely smashing? The sleek style of Oliver People’s PS-815 aviator shades will get her attention.
Pretty in Pink! Your bridemaids will love it when you announce you’re trading in your Manolo’s for a pair of comfy handpainted slippers. Let’s face it, by the end of the evening, you and your betrothed will likely be dancing barefoot without a fashion care in the world!
