Fly across the ocean and where do they want to go?!
Guess it’s true, can take the girl from the island, but not the island from the girl 🏝️Their first experience at a CA beach and they barely dipped their toes 😂Also, I forgot how salty and fishy these beaches smell 🫠Can’t beat home, that’s for sure. The Natural Bridges at Santa Cruz were gorgeous and a site to see, though 😊Especially when the sun started to set!
We unexpectedly spent 25 days off our island and on the continent doing a whole smattering of adventuring! It was a first for us to do a road trip and boy did we learn some lessons 😂Peep my alma mater and some wineries we reluctantly drove by 😕I’m excited to share more about our trip, but it’ll probably take me all the way till the next trip because my ig battery is already on low 😜

Dad had no idea the life these pieces of wood would live, nor the starting of lives together that they would witness.
Maybe I’m a big mush, but I can’t help but adore the moments this arch has witnessed. Here’s to many more!

You’ve got to plan for the ‘what ifs’ so that no matter what the day brings, nothing can take away from the magic of your day!

We had rain on this amazing day and it only made for the sweetest moments. *cue the clear umbrellas

Most recent realization of becoming my parent - I only want to drink coffee out of a mug! I don’t want a paper cup or a cover of any sort-I am now my father, driving with my mug in hand on the way to school drop off because the mug makes all the difference. Happy to learn this week that Starbucks has their mugs back! Also, not embarrassed at how exciting this news was to me! ☕️

In honor of International Women’s Day-here’s a fun time with one of my faves!
If you haven’t already-check out all the fun things to do at Kualoa Ranch-of course besides getting MARRIED! It’s a gorgeous venue, but it’s also an amazing adventurous place for all ages!

Your vendor team is so so important! It’s the things that can’t be planned for and how everyone adjusts, problem solves, and supports one another that really show the excellence of the team! So grateful to get to work with amazing people!

Gah, how do they do that-capture EVERY moment?! These photographers always blow me away! AND-I imagine if I’m smiling as I relive the day through their pics, my couple must be ear to ear!
Thanks is not enough for your awesomeness @iambradbakula and @keanibakula ❤️

1) Your planner is a great sounding board for navigating personalities and emotions because we’ve seen and managed it all. TRUST YOUR PLANNER AND ASK THE QUESTIONS
2) I’m grateful for my couples who help make their days run smoothly by trusting me to work through ALL the details with them.
3) Showing up is important even if it’s not cute 😂❤️

Imagine my surprise when I’m singing all the words to ‘Our Song’ as my girls are dragging me out of there because they’re tired 😂
🤭
Loved it! Wish I went in person! Also, need to get my hands on some of those outfits! Can we make sequins professional attire, please?!

Wedding Math!
🌟 🤑
In all seriousness, though, I absolutely love prioritizing my couples’ budget and helping them to make smart decisions that still accomplish the DREAM! There are so many ways to optimize the money you plan to spend. Keying in on your top wants and ultimate take-away “feel” is the BEST place to start!
.
.
.
I can’t stress enough the importance of those high quality vendors-the top notch vendor crew may not seem to save you money in the short term, but in the long term, they’ll save you in more ways than one! You won’t regret hiring the awesome team.
.
.
Not sure where to start? Your coordinator, OF COURSE! And we’ve been there, done that, so we can give you all the tips,
tools, advice and guidance customized to YOU!
