Our business started with client gifts for special events, holidays, birthdays, and thank you gifts. While we have since opened our online retail shop and just opened our brick and mortar pop-up shop, our first love is still working with local businesses to elevate their client experience through gifting.
Earlier this year we were asked to design a client gift for the talented Nichole of Nichole Weddings & Events. We love her work (you can check out her portfolio here) and know you will, too, but before we get to the gift, we want to introduce you to Nichole!
A LITTLE ABOUT NICHOLE
Originally from the Midwest, Nichole Haugen Shin started her wedding planning business in 2003. Raised with a strong work ethic, unquestionable integrity and principled values (and may we add, great taste!), Nichole has built a strong reputation here in Hawaii.
Nichole’s mission is to provide a worry-free, stress-free, drama-free experience for each couple. Her approach to the “perfect” wedding is to collaborate with the bride and groom to create a unique wedding concept that is distinctively theirs – always staying focused on the details and ensuring an event that is flawlessly orchestrated beginning to end.
WHY DO YOU LOVE BEING A WEDDING COORDINATOR?
I love making people happy and I’m an absolute hopeless romantic. My job stays interesting because each couple (and I’ve met such amazing people) and each wedding is completely new and special. I have made great friends over the years. Such a wonderful community.
WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY & GOALS AS A PLANNER?
SIMPLY STYLIZED. ELEGANTLY EXECUTED.
For many newly engaged couples, the planning of their wedding may become overwhelming and can, unfortunately, take away some of the magic and romance that an engagement should bring.
My goal is to take the couple’s vision and turn it into reality. We work together to incorporate the personal style and character of the couple to create a wedding styled specifically for them…a wedding unlike any other. By simplifying the planning process for the couple, I can help the bride and groom look forward to their special day without worrying about how they will get there!
I know that my couples are the most important part of the wedding. Nothing is more satisfying than making sure their wants and needs are met in such a way that they are able to enjoy their own wedding as though they themselves were guests. So whether it is Full Service or Day Of Coordination, my goal is to exceed every expectation.
NICHOLE’S NEW CLIENT GIFTS
Nichole could not have said it any better – we, too, find nothing more satisfying than making sure our clients’ wants and needs are met and exceeded.
While designing Nichole’s gift, we created two criteria for product and packaging selection:
First, the gift need to elicit relaxation, celebration, and reassurance that, although there is a lot to do, Nichole’s experienced team is going to make sure everything goes smoothly so that her clients can enjoy the journey.
Second, we wanted the aesthetic to reflect Nichole’s philosophy: Simply Stylized. Elegantly Executed.
Based on these two criteria, we hand-selected a mix of keepsakes and edibles so the couple could enjoy a little celebration now and for years to come. Included in the gift:
- Personalized stemless wine glasses
- Split bottle of bubbly
- 2 gold swizzle sticks
- Gold-rimmed ceramic catchall
- Lux & Alder travel candle
- Pineapple cake assortment from Kula & Ko
