The Planning

San Franciscans Sandra and Kevin decided on Hawaii as the ideal spot for a vacation wedding with friends and family, but the bride gave a haute-couture spin to Polynesian beach style. I wanted a timeless, classic look, says Sandra, who selected a striking color scheme of ivory, coral, champagne -- and black magic roses. I chose black magic roses because the color was bold and strong, as well as a beautiful contrast to my ivory dress and veil. I also wanted to look back at my pictures years from now and still love the look.
