As the anticipation of the photo shoot grew, the day of the shoot came and went. Our Maui photo shoot wardrobes were consisted of prom, special occasion, pageantry, island wedding wear and traditional formal wedding attire.
We met Bryan, our photographer for the first time on the steps of 505 Front St. just in front of Gabby’s Pizzeria. He has this laid back, easy going attitude but with a passion for his trade. After the pleasantries and introductions, we scouted the surrounding areas and structures for great colors, shapes and back drops for our images. Once we located our favorite spots, we stopped by at Lahaina Shores Hotel and inquired about using a portion or part of the hotel lobby or a remote area of the hotel where we can have our models change into a few of their different outfits. Upon inquiry, we were blessed and pleasantly rewarded by one of the managers a room that was just vacated on the ground floor level of the hotel. What timing! This really helped us walk in to the unit and get in on our next wardrobe change much quicker than if we had been assigned a room somewhere else. Changing in to the last outfit was very crucial because the sun was setting so quickly and if we did not have the easy access on this ground floor room, we would have missed our chances of capturing the beautiful images that were taken at the shoot.

Behind the scenes photo shoot for L'amour Bridal Boutique
We send much Mahalo to Lahaina Shores Hotel for their Kokua and KulorDS.com for a fun and great photo shoot experience. Indeed, what a blessing it was!
Look what we found on MauiFeed’s Blog site. Our discussion with Jen Russo via email was published in Maui Time newspaper. Thanks a bunch to Maui Time and everyone behind the scenes there. The owners and staff are very inspirational and passionate. It’s always fun to get to talk to them.
Color schemes and themes are always a major factor and topic when preparing for an event or a wedding party.
Questions to ask include ones such as: What is the color backdrop at the venue? How about accent colors? What about the colors of table covers and chairs? Should the linen colors match or be contrasting? Will you color match or color coordinate the wedding party’s outfit?
Preparing an event is sometimes stressful and it can get overwhelming or feel out of control. To avoid these situations and if budget allows, some people hire wedding coordinators. Some get help from relatives and friends. Either way is great. Although, when it comes to outfitting your wedding party, consulting a wardrobe specialist is very important because of the obvious reasons.
A wardrobe specialist is someone who is very knowledgeable about the different patterns, textures and types of fabrics. She is familiar with the variety of styles and fashions that will work well (or not) on certain body silhouettes. A well-trained wardrobe specialist will also be able to tell you whether certain colors will be complimentary to your skin and hair color, or not.
Between color matching and color coordinating, the latter is the easier way to go. To gain understanding, it helps to look at how a textile factory works. Fabrics are dyed in a certain amount of batches and usually come in a roll. Each batch might be slightly darker or lighter in hue from the previous batch. Different weaving and textures of fabrics will also affect the hue of dye colors when applied. If the fabric or swatch came from the same roll you are trying to match, then your color matching effort will be successful. Otherwise, color coordinating will be the best way to go.
When color coordinating, the colors do not need to match exactly. As long as the shade of color is within the range of colors you are looking at, whether it is slightly darker or lighter it will be just fine. The texture and pattern can also be different when color coordinating, as long as the color hue stays within that range. A good example of this is the different shades of pink. A bubble gum pink is a lighter shade than a fuchsia pink but is within the same range of the color pink. This should be okay as long as they are not in the same pattern or texture. Imagine a plain satin bubble gum pink dress and a paisley patterned vest & long tie…that is a perfect color coordinating success!
Here at Lamour Bridal Boutique, we have a wardrobe specialist on hand to assist you with this aspect of your event planning. We will help you choose a color scheme that works best for you and your wedding party or event participants.
This is a good question that most brides should be asking as soon as she gets engaged.
Why? Because for most part, the color and style of the dress she chooses will set the tone of the wedding color schemes and theme of the party and/or venue.
We have seen brides shop as early as a year in advance to get an idea of what style of dress they would look great in, especially if they do not have any clue yet as to what color and silhouette is best for them. Otherwise, for those who already knew that they are the marrying type they usually have a dress in mind and it becomes a quest to find that dream wedding gown of theirs. Either one should really get serious in purchasing their dress eight months prior to their wedding date, if time allows.
Why? Because if a bride needs to custom-make or special order her gown, depending on which manufacturer she orders it from, that gown might take three to six months to arrive. The seventh month will give her time to make any alterations if needed or allowance for any unforeseen incidents to make adjustments. For month of the wedding or at the latest, one week before her wedding day, her alterations should be done and should be set for the big day!
One thing we do not suggest a bride should do, is to purchase all the accessories and the wedding party’s outfits before her own wedding gown. This will be financially and/or emotionally devastating! Imagine, having done this and when you finally order or purchase your own dress, the dress is no longer available or could not be shipped in time for your wedding day. This is definitely, emotionally devastating!
I don’t know if this one is worse than the other, but to purchase a gown that is not your first choice and end up changing color schemes and theme of the wedding after the fact, is financially devastating!
Either way, give yourself enough time to look for that ideal dress and have a budget that is affordable and reasonable for the type of gown you are looking to purchase.
