Tropical Seaside Wedding

I'm finally getting around to posting pictures from the actual wedding. I didn't take a whole lot, but here are a few to give you a taste of what a wedding by the sea in Hawaii can look like. 


Meticulously pulling apart plumeria petals for the petal circle:


We saved money by picking individual tropical flowers at a florist's shop and arranging them ourselves (note the anthurium and tiny yellow orchids):


Mellow guitar music for the processional:


Waiting outside the house we rented to have the wedding:


Flower girl hiding in the giant banyan:


Photoshoot by the sea:


The wedding cake (which had a coconut filling) was simply decorated with fresh orchids:


The table arrangements were stunning with torch ginger and hibiscus:



More on the location later...

Leapin' Lizards!

Hawaii is known for its tropical climate - the moist days beneath an equatorial sun - but with that climate comes an elaborate display of creatures. The other day I was surprised by a common green lizard in my bathroom. More afraid than anything, the poor little guy tried escaping behind the mirror, but one of the resident knights caught him and let him outside before he could conjure anymore surprises...


I love his sprawling fingers and blue eyeshadow...
