WELCOME
THE COMEBACK ISSUE
FALL / WINTER 2022
FIRSTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. Thank you to the strong, gracious, and inspiring local wedding community who welcomed our vision. The experiences you’ve shared, insights you’ve contributed, and support you’ve expressed have all been integral components to our journey in successfully shaping this new direction. Hawai‘i Wedding Style has been a staple for over 30 years, remaining the only local resource for couples, curated to showcase Hawai‘i’s wonderful and unique wedding industry. After a turbulent two years of an ongoing global pandemic, 2022 gifts us with a new generation and refreshed platform. Hawaii Wedding Style’s new strategic partnership with Ocean Blue Hawaii, a boutique marketing firm, and Takami Holdings, Japan’s largest privately owned wedding and lifestyle company, ensures valuable expansion to bring more exposure for our local wedding industry and Hawaii’s special community. It’s no secret that we’ve all endured such trying times, but the relentless compassion and dedication we’ve witnessed from your efforts have been truly exhilarating. Throughout this process of rebranding, we turned to the knowledge embedded in our conversations with you. It was through these intimate moments of sharing that we were able to learn, discover, and grow, ultimately guiding us as we devised a new strategy to appropriately align with the changed market today. Hawai‘i Wedding Style is set to publish digital editions on a bi-annual basis in addition to our annual print edition. We’ve also proudly launched a newly revamped website and immersive social media channel to personally connect with our audiences. On October 10, we will be unveiling the inaugural edition of our rebrand during a special launch event at Pesca Waikiki. We will be highlighting leaders in the industry and hosting a chic fashion showcase, featuring Ben Bridge Jeweler, Eleanor’s Bridal, Magnolia White, Miyuki Liem Bridal, and Kini Zamora to inspire and excite guests for the upcoming season. To stay up to date on all our exclusive promotions or RSVP to future styled events, we invite you to connect with us and subscribe to our mailing list! This exciting new endeavor would not have been possible without the foundation of this incredible community. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for the support and welcome you to join us in this next chapter.
Let’s celebrate!
