A Tropical Light Pink Wedding at Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens with a Southern Twist

A tropical Hawaiian wedding day at Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens with a bit of Texas twang? To that we say "Aloha y'all"!  We couldn't be more in love with the sweetness of Rachel and Jeffrey's day planned by the talented team at Moana Events. Don't miss out on a single detail of this charming light pink island affair at the full gallery captured by Julie Paisley Photography.
From Moana Events... Rachel and Jeffrey both attended Texas Christian University, however they never became more than just acquaintances, although Jeffery claimed that they shared at least a class.
A few years after college, the two were reintroduced through mutual friends on a trip to Mexico, where they became close friends. Jeffrey finally asked Rachel out a few months later and they have not been separated since.
Jeffrey proposed to Rachel on her family’s ranch, on her birthday, after a hike up her favorite mountain trail. It was the perfect moment shared between just the two of them.
Rachel's family grew up going to Kauai and have a long history there. She always envisioned getting married in the little green church in Hanalei, and once she got engaged she started planning her wedding there. 
The couple incorporated Hawaii-inspired details like a traditional Hawaiian quilt pattern on the invitations, escort cards, and cake. As a nod to Texas, they also incorporated Southern traditions like a bourbon, cigar, and sweets bar for the gents.
