How to 'Go Local' at Your Hawaii Wedding
I love a simple outdoor wedding. Give me a table, chairs and sunshine and I'm happy. When it comes to food, I'm not into fuss either. Set me at this table and fill me up with simple salads, wine and cheese and that'd be my kind of wedding.
Following our Hawaii Bride's post on Downtown catering last week, I got to sit-down with Chef/Owner Ed Kenney on Monday to chat about what Hawaii's modern bride is looking for. Like Kristina said, great food pretty much makes a wedding... though I guess food is really only second to the actual wedding itself, we shouldn't forget that! Gone are the carving stations or hastily put together buffets, couples want great food, presented beautifully and (I'd like to throw in a third request) more and more couples are going local. We hear it all around town, but what does it really mean to 'go local'?
Well, here's an idea: Let's start with food. I love spending my Saturday mornings at the KCC Farmer's Market not 5 minutes from Waikiki. Over the past several years, the Farmer's Market has exploded and my favorite stall to visit is Ma'o Organic Farms. The first thing you'll notice are the piles of fresh salad mixes, chard and other leafy greens. The next thing you'll notice are the teenagers that man the stall... Ma'o Organic Farms was established to get Hawaii's youth back in the fields and to give them the opportunity to be at the forefront of sustainable, local social entrepreneurship. Ma'o has given thousands of youth, many of Native Hawaiian descent, a sense of purpose and accomplishment by getting them in the fields producing Hawaii's best organic produce.
Chef Ed of Downtown has been on of Ma'o's biggest supporters over the years featuring their 'ono salad mixes and greens daily. I've been a customer/fan of Town and Ma'o over the years and proudly support their mission of bringing local, organic produce AND supporting Hawaii's youth to the forefront of Hawaii's 'go local' movement.
So you're getting married? And you're probably hiring a caterer, right? Here's one little but awesome way you can go local: Ask your caterer to help you support Ma'o Organic Farms. Whether you're purchasing your greens through your caterer or making a trip to the Farmer's Market yourself, go local at your wedding by supporting Hawaii's environment and our youth. We promise you'll eat well and feel great on your Big Day.

Great wedding Shopping Destinations in India: PART I
Engaged and all set to tie the knot??? Have the money & the time to go across country to shop for you trousseau? Then this article and many more in this blog is going to be an interesting read.
This is the first article in this series. First because, my country is so full of splendor and great things across the length and breadth of its boundaries; that there cant be just one destination to mention.
We start with my favourite shopping destination and heart of India- DELHI. The Capital of the country definitely has a lot to offer- whatever your budget maybe. Delhi is definitely shoppers' paradise.
Home to many of India's leading and most talented fashion designers such as Tarun Tahillani, Manish Malhotra, Rohit Bal, Ashima & Leena, Aki Narula, Suneet Verma, Ranna Gill, JJ Valaya etc as well as has a lot of wholesale places across city.
Delhi is also home to some of the most well established clothes shops and jewelers in India, which have reinvented themselves over generations and are nationally if not internationally renowned. In recent years a great range of affordable but none the less, fashionable boutiques have comeup all over Delhi, catering to a variety of tastes and budgets. These are most prevalent in the Karol Bagh, South Extension and Greater Kailash areas.
For those with less in their pockets, Delhi has Chandni Chowk- where you can start from your wedding invite, go on to jewellery, then to cosmetics, shoes and finally the wedding day attire. Lajpat nagar, rajendar nagar and Karol bagh are also great for A to Z budget wedding shopping. from clothes to jewellery. Shoes to hand bags. Cosmetics to luggage you can buy everything in the shops/ markets of these areas, and that too within a great budget!
Certain areas of Delhi, notably GK, South Extension, Hauz Khas Village, Khan Market showcase some of Delhi's finest boutiques, but remember they will burn a hole in your pocket! Since you wont get married everyday, so its well worth it! If you are shopping in this section (South Delhi) do visit the designers mentioned above as well as don’t forget ushnakmal, meena bazaar, Nalli, Regal shoes, Da Milano, OOgaan, CTC Plaza, Design Vault etc.
However, if you are a more budget conscious shopper, do visit a few shops in these areas to get an idea of the latest styles and designs and then try and find similar items (which certainly are available) in the more affordable, but none the less chic shops located in Karol Bagh, Connaught Place, Lajpat Nagar, Kamla Nagar, Chandni Chowk etc.
MUST DO:
You must research before your trip, to get an idea of the colors, styles and designs of outfits that are in and goes with your taste and budgets. Browse through wedding magazines, surf the web and ask your friends and family for their input.
Whilst shopping in India, it is very easy to get overwhelmed and confused by the amazing variety of items that are available. Make a list of what you like in each shop so that you can make an overall comparison and shortlist what you finally want to buy.

Amy Johnston / Vernissage
Is the whole more than the sum of its parts? What if its parts are pretty awesome on their own and what makes the whole awesome is that it can be broken down into three awesome parts and that the actual summation itself is a whole other kind of awesome that almost supersedes the resulting sum, which is still, if you will recall, awesome? To summarize: this is awesome.
And so is this. (You wear it with the crescent moon resting on your pinky!) All work above by Oregon's Amy Johnston.
