[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]
Katlin and Gabe hosted a destination wedding at Maui’s Olowalu Plantation House, inspired by the essence of vintage Hawaii. Bright and whimsical hues of coral, marigold, turmeric, and apricot were the color story of the day. The ceremony took place along the coast of the Pacific Ocean underneath a horseshoe-shaped chuppah adorned in wildflowers. Guests dined at oak tables dressed in ceramic vases with floral-focused arrangements of garden blooms and wildflowers in shades of coral, marigold, turmeric, and apricot. Mid-century flatware was a nod to vintage Hawaii. The signage was inspired by 1970s Vogue magazine covers- bright, tropical, and playful—design words: carefree, elevated, bespoke, fashionable, wildflower, celebratory, eco-friendly.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]They both went to NYU but ended up meeting they were both studying abroad in
Paris! “We always knew that we liked each other, and dated for a bit when we came back from Paris, but unfortunately Gabe had to leave NYC for law school. We reconnected when he came back 3 years later and have been together ever since!”
They got engaged in an old barn converted into a fine dining restaurant in Kennebunkport, Maine. It was perfect – surrounded by good food and drinks, antique furniture, and a pianist playing 50s music!
“We were definitely friends first, couple second! We love that we fell in love with each other’s personalities. We also love to play video games together (Katlin can’t really play so she explores and when the bad guys come, Gabe has to kill them
– this is their preferred way to play!). They also both love American football and Gabe knew she was the one when she recommended a player that ultimately won him his fantasy league their first year of dating.”[/field]
