Is this Hawaii you ask? We had rain, thunder and sunny skies, like any given day in Maui. Samuel from Ira Lippke Studios got a shot of the Lightning too! Can't wait to see what Elysium captured on video. Michelle and Dave wanted their guests to feel the spirit of Hawaii. In order to do so, we brought in lei greeters to greet guests with floral leis, a conch shell blower to signal the start of the wedding, a bamboo structure encrusted with hundreds of orchids and Michelle even wore a haku lei around her head for the first dance. Guests sipped pineapple and strawberry mojitos, nibbled on seared scallops with black truffle, spiced hamachi, Hawaiian Ahi and fresh sea bass, all prepared by the chefs at Studio Restaurant within Montage Resort. While guests dined in Studio, Christopher Aldama Fiori Fresco Special Events quickly converted the ceremony lawn of chairs to a sea of chartreuse green draped cabanas for guests to relax after lunch. Linda from the Cake Studio delivered one of her amazing cakes, an original basket weave design to match the theme of the day. The big surprise of the day was the concert by famous Hawaiian Band Cecilio and Kapono. Guests lounged with desserts, coffee and cake and left with a autographed CD from the band, a gift from Michelle and Dave. -Jeannie
