Wow. There is so much to love about this Four Seasons Maui wedding, from a non-traditional color palette for a tropical wedding, to outfit changes for both bride and groom, to the bride’s vision of hanging gardens created by Teresa Sena Designs and Rio Event Design. With “wow-moments” like a carefully choreographed first dance to unbelievable “wow-images” by Chris J. Evans, it is safe to say it was a struggle picking just a few to showcase! Take a look below and be sure to check out the full gallery to see even more…like knife throwers and every magical detail planned by Opihi Love Wedding & Event Design.
From Opihi Love Wedding & Event Design…Yuchen and Peiran’s romantic and whimsical wedding was nothing short of perfection. We focused highly on the bride’s wedding design and color palette which included tones of mustard yellow and dusty rose. With flowers being the main focus, we brought in Teresa Sena to achieve the bride’s vision of a hanging garden over guests’ dining tables. In order to achieve the hanging gardens, Rio Event Design custom-designed canopies to hang each piece and romantic crystal chandeliers hung in each canopy to highlight the hanging garden and the blush taper candles, low candlelight, and gorgeous blooms in creams, dusty rose, and yellow tones to create a romantic tabletop experience. The tables were draped in velvet linens to bring a soft design and the place settings all included gold elements by Set Collections. Each place setting included custom menus created by the bride and hexagon marble place cards with each guest’s name.
The ceremony had a touch of flowers in large compotes at the start of the steps as guests entered into the ceremony location. The bride wanted to keep the florals simple at the ceremony location since there is an incredible view of Maui and the large Plumeria trees created a beautiful setting.
The bride included many unique items throughout her wedding which included hand-drawn wedding invitations with the couple standing in front of their ceremony location with their dog Matcha. She also included a tropical photo booth set up which included a peacock chair to bring in a boho vibe with gold painted flamingos. The couple also practiced for months and performed a choreographed first dance to the song “You are the Reason”. Their first dance included lifts, spins, and steps that will be remembered by their guests forever.
Now, let’s talk about that dress and veil customized by Galia Lahav. The bride wanted a low back, mermaid silhouette with a touch of sparkle. The dress is classic, romantic and a little sexy. Galia also helped the bride add in embellishments around the waist to make it unique. The bride’s second dress change was customized by ShiniUni. She wanted something flowy and easy to dance in. She also loved a halter neckline and included stars scattered all over her dress.
The groom was dressed in Ermeneglido Zegna which brought in a dark navy color into the wedding design. His dress change included an off- white jacked which was a gift for his 30th birthday!
