Oceanfront Maui Wedding With Terracotta Details Inspired By Italy
Playing off of the couple's Italian roots, we designed with the Amalfi Coast in mind: Cle tiles were shipped in from Italy to be used as place cards, a lemon tree was made in the center of a 16' round wooden bar, citrus and yellow accents, a traditional millefoglie cake and tropical lanterns, a fire dancer and bamboo chairs to remind the guests that they were on Maui. The overall feel of the wedding had a subtle nod to Italy with a dreamy floral sensibility using garden blooms in shades of blush, nude, taupe, muted copper, terra-cotta, orange, marigold and butter yellow in aged terra-cotta urns. Whimsical linens were mix matched atop round and long dining tables throughout the oceanfront lawn, surrounding the wooden dance floor. The groom Paul is a huge Motley Cru fan, attending over 30 concerts of theirs in his life, it seemed appropriate to have the string duo write a special arrangement of Home Sweet Home for their ceremony. The couple said their vows at a stunning floral arch of all yellow blooms. The bride wore Monique Lhuillier.

The ceremony was marked by a stunning mono-bloom arch of sunshine-yellow blooms. The aisle contained natural garden blooms in clusters at the base of the chairs, appearing as if growing in nature. The bride carried a sweet bouquet of earthy-hued blooms: ranunculus, tulips, roses, and sweet peas. The reception on the oceanfront lawn featured a mix of round and long dining tables with whimsical patterned linens. Aged terra-cotta urns held floral-focused arrangements of garden blooms in shades of nude, ivory, blush, honey, cinnamon, and apricot hues. Natural-hued candles sat in glass hurricanes atop terra-cotta plates. Cle tiles with calligraphy names were the place cards, a nod to Italy. The round wooden bar was marked by a stunning lemon tree in the center with baskets.
The wedding cake was an Italian millefoglie cake.
