Military Weddings

I have a soft spot for our military weddings. Maybe because I have family history with the military, maybe because my own wedding included my husband in his white Navy dress uniform, maybe it's because they are usually so polite with their "Yes Ma'am", or maybe because the guys always just look so darn great in their uniforms!! Whatever the case, whenever we have couples who want to include the military in their wedding, my heart swells a little more because I know there is already the dedication the soldiers have for their country and for their families and fellow humanity---how could they not be dedicated to their soon to be wives?












One of our couples who chose to include the military in their wedding was Carly Mailhot and Matthew Liebhardt who were married August 7, 2008 at the Hale Koa Hotel. The ceremony was held in the Maile Garden and the weather was beautiful and sunny- just like our wonderful bride Carly. She never stopped smiling the entire day through.






The beautiful brides bouquet was a mix of blush pink mini Callas, bridal white rose, and Lilly of the Valley with the handle wrapped with French pearl pins. (Debbie Hemmingway Florals)



















Bridesmaid bouquets included pink Cymbidium orchids, Tuberose, white mini Callas, Song of India, with pale pink Anthuriums.













The gorgeous yummy cake was designed by Rick Reichart from cakelava with flavors of Guava lava & hot fudge sundae.



















Apple Green and Pink Bubblegum colors were carried throughout the design of the reception with the guest table linens and napkins. Bengaline chair sashes doubled as table runners as well as the chair sash ties over the white chair covers all from Royal Party Rentals (formerly A'a Party Rentals).

































The two adorable flower girls made the ceremony all the more precious!
