The wedding gowns from Abed Mahfouz 2010 bridal collection are toned down a notch from the previous collection, but nevertheless very intricately detailed with unique elements. Isn’t the gown above lovely? Above: short sleeve wedding dress, heavily encrusted in floral applique and crystals; below: strapless gown with a bouquet of fabric flower around the the bodice. A beautiful, strapless dress with a cascade of tulle ruffles and featuring a large pleated bow. For something a little less frou-frou, and elegant number that shines with heavily embellishments around the shoulders. For something more unusual, this dress fits the bill with its asymmetrical curtain of folded fabric. Some pictures from the 2009 collection which we love for its unabashed display of glittery excess, starting with this regal empire line gown…
Flat wedding shoes are cute, stylish and comfortable wedding shoes for maternity brides and pregnant bridesmaids.
I’m becoming a real fan of ‘pau hana’. Meaning ‘done work’, pau hana is local speak for happy hour- wee! Working in downtown Honolulu, the pau hana scene ranges from beer and pizza at JJ Dolan’s to cosmos and goat cheese wontons at Indigo. Last Friday I had a great pau hana catching up with an old friend from college over martinis and mussles at Du Vin- try the signature ‘Du Vin’ martini, to die for! I’ve been lauding Du Vin for quite a while as a great place for a bachelorette party or a night on the town with your beau and was delighted to come across this beautiful via Pacific Weddings. Featuring florals by Yvonne Design and styling by Finishing Touch, these images take me straight from Du Vin to le Paris… Yvonne and team used gold, peach & coral with garden roses, ranunculus…
On January 10th, my son was born and just 5 days later his twin cousins were born at 28 weeks. In one week, our family was so blessed to have 3 little guys come in to this world. Even with all the joy and happiness of life; we had a scare with the twins being so young. Any baby born this early is more at risk let alone twins being born at this age! This is when the journey began. One of the twins, Owen, began to have some setbacks and complications while his brother Even started to fight his way home from the NICU. Without getting in to details, baby Owen began journey to …
Today I was asked for the 5th time in the past 2 weeks, “Do you provide the RAW photos after the wedding?” My answer in short, “NO!” The long answer…. When you book Photos by Nick a your photographer, you are not just booking a photographer to snap a few shots. You are booking an artist who has a vision, style and story to tell. Before I take a picture I have the final output in mind. I know how I will edit it on the computer and then how it will be printed and hung in your home. Most people would not even know how to open a RAW file and manipulate it and make it look like the many styled images on my website. If I were to just shoot your wedding and then give you all the RAW files, I…

Classy, elegant offerings from Marchesa Bridal Spring 2010 collection. Love the above two dresses, which are pretty in their own ways. For the statuesque beauty, the two strapless gowns below would showcase your silhouette nicely. Spaghetti straps with multiple tiers and feathers. Something very Marchesa — flirty ruffles galore. The dress on the left is pretty much the same white strapless silk crepe structured bustier that Kate Hudson wore at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards, except Kate paired hers with a long skirt with a train and her top came with white feathers peeking from the neckline. More from the collection over at the website .
