The Planning

Design / Vibe / Vision

Makala and Sean envisioned a modern, colorful, festive wedding weekend. Starting with a laid back rehearsal dinner at the The Westin Maui Resort and Spa. Guests sipped on craft cocktails poolside followed by an intimate dinner surrounded by tropical greens. The floral filled wedding day featured a lush, vibrant, tropical arch with cascading florals. Playful patterned linens and an elevated lounge added to the laid back romantic vibe of the day. Hanging pendant lights mixed with tropical foliage above the bar and head table added a romantic garden feel.
