Imagine the romance of a wedding reception inspired by the bountiful wonders of nature: the first glance of a flower petal unfolding in springtime, the sweet symphony of the birds chirping, the comfort of a gentle breeze in the afternoon sun and the enticing scent of citrus in the garden. These sensations are the perfect muse for an al fresco summer celebration.

The impetus for a golden color palette emerged from the most unlikely of places—a lovely cookie box by Clara Confectioners. The fine chocolate purveyors are renowned for their exceptional label designs and packaging. Owner Michael K. Ching and his mother, Clara, have elevated the crafting of a cookie box label to a fine art. The Lilikoi Macadamia Nut packaging, which features an indigenous Hawaiian bird gracefully perched on a lilikoi vine, evoked the vision for a wondrous reception.
