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 Milaniko.
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,
Milaniko 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.
Milaniko 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. Milaniko 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.
