Beautiful
music greets viewers as Host, Kahu Kalehua Featheran welcomes harpist Pumehana
Davis Wadsworth to Hawaii’s Wedding Professionals. Pumehana began playing
the harp as a young child and now 30 years later, her repertoire ranges from
traditional songs usually playing during weddings to more modern
selections. When asked “why a harp for weddings”, Pumehana replies that
the harp is classy and elegant, and it can be played on the beach as well as in
chapels.
Destination
brides can find her on the internet and send in an inquiry on her contact
page. Upon receiving the inquiry, Pumehana will send them a song list and
the dialogue continues to the wedding day. Although Pumehana would like
to have 6 months advanced notice of a booking, upon availability, she has also
been able to provide services with just 2 days notice.
Kalehua’s
second guests are Rick and Mila Troutman of Mila Niko. Named for Mom Mila
and son Niko, this wedding apparel shop carries a line of wedding gowns with a
European flair. With a manufacturing facility in the Ukraine, Mila Niko
has a proprietary line of well made, top quality European couture bridal gowns
that look expensive but are very moderate and well under the market
price. Much attention is paid to details such as beading, lace work and
the selection of fabric. The gowns are what Rick calls “heirloom quality”
– made to be worn for generations and passed on from mother to daughter.
The dresses are fashioned with corset lacing, so they are 2 sizes in either
direction and require very little, if any alterations.
Mila
Niko has an online catalog from which selections can be made, and if a bride
sees a gown she likes, but wants some changes made to it to fit her taste and
style, this can be done in a very short time, when compared to other
manufacturers. Mila Niko also carries suits and tuxedos made in Turkey
from the finest wool fabric. So, they are light weight and perfectly
suited for the Hawaiian climate.
Just
for fun…The first 3 people who email Kalehua with the names of all the songs
that Pumehana, exclusive harpist for the Aloha Wedding Shop, played during her
interview will receive a $10.00 gift letter
which can be applied to products or services from any of the vendors in the
Aloha Wedding Shop Resource Center (a.k.a. honeylook.com).
