Maui Backyard Wedding Bursting with Color

Daisy and Sam’s wedding day radiated opulence and vibrancy, embracing a bold and joyful celebration that reflected their unique style. Overall Design and Vibe: A bold and lively color palette set the tone, weaving together tropical and soft blooms in stunning shades of yellows, oranges, pinks, and blues. Shades of green emerged naturally through lush foliage and tropical palms, creating a rich, layered backdrop. Bold tabletop textures and thoughtfully curated lighting infused the day with an artistic edge, ensuring every detail offered a “feast for the eyes” for the couple and their cherished guests.

Daisy looked absolutely breathtaking in her Eissen Stein gown, a masterpiece of elegance and charm. The gown featured delicate detachable sleeves adorned with whimsical bows at the ends, perfectly echoing the statement bow on the back of her dress. This thoughtful design detail tied the entire look together, adding a touch of playful sophistication to her already radiant presence.

During the cocktail hour, guests enjoyed Mochiko chicken with unagi glaze and hot miso mustard, Hamachi misoyaki musubi with wasabi, sesame rice cake, nori, and ocean salad, as well as Hawaiian Rancher’s beef, papaya, and tomato skewers with cilantro mint citronette. For dinner, guests indulged in an exquisite array of options, including seared porcini-crusted Hawaiian catch accompanied by roasted brassicas, pistachios, delicate white truffle "clouds," and vibrant sorrel. They also savored Hawaiian Rancher’s striploin paired with creamy mashed potatoes, tender asparagus, caramelized Maui onions, chili emulsion, and a luxurious pistachio-date pesto. Dessert featured delectable malasadas, while late-night offerings delighted with playful touches like passed chicken nuggets and charming cones of golden french fries.

The florals took center stage in the striking design, with vibrant shades of fuchsia, pink, deep purple, ginger red, and deep orange. Daisy’s bouquet was a masterpiece: a tropical yet soft arrangement, hand-tied with an organic and modern touch. Monochromatic blooms like roses and orchids added an elegant cohesion to the colorful display. Throughout the event, florals were a dynamic element, offering a mix of textures, heights, and hues that perfectly complemented the day’s aesthetic.

They didn't have one.

Set amidst the natural beauty of Daisy’s family home, the ceremony exuded elegance and intimacy. Guests were welcomed onto the property with refreshing tropical beverages, immediately immersing them in the vibrant atmosphere. A breathtaking floral arch seamlessly integrated into the hedge added a focal point of natural beauty, echoing the surrounding environment. Guests were seated on bamboo folding chairs, each adorned with a natural palm fan—both a thoughtful touch and a practical offering for the tropical setting.

The Cocktail Hour Ambiance Following the ceremony, guests transitioned to a lively cocktail hour in the backyard, where trestle high-top tables encircled the pool, adorned with tropical florals in bold indigo vases. The half-moon bar, a showstopper of the evening, featured large tropical leaves and cascading colorful leis, exuding island-inspired charm. Twinkling lights draped across the backyard, creating a magical atmosphere as the sun set. Fresh-pressed cocktails and delectable hors d’oeuvres were passed as guests mingled and reveled in the festivities.

The Reception Atmosphere The celebration continued inside the house, where every detail transformed the space into a warm and inviting haven of tropical elegance. Guests found their seats on natural cross-back chairs, welcomed by personalized menus and place cards. The living room’s chandelier became a lush floral installation, brimming with tropical greenery that harmonized with the overall design. Tables alternated between round and long natural wood trestle styles, their surfaces adorned with vibrant, modern floral arrangements in colorful glass vessels, including eye-catching indigo hues. The floral story continued with bold, tropical palms and dynamic blooms arranged at varying heights, creating visual intrigue and an elevated aesthetic. Table settings were layered with rich blue accents and opulent gold flatware, enhancing the palette’s depth. Tall taper candles in bold colors mirrored the florals, adding warmth and sophistication to the scene. Together, these elements crafted an unforgettable, "eye-feasting" experience for the couple and their guests, blending tropical charm with timeless elegance.

Surprise Element: They delighted their guests with decadent espresso martinis, expertly crafted to keep the energy alive and spirits high as the evening transitioned into a night of lively dancing and celebration. This thoughtful touch added an element of indulgence and ensured the festivities continued seamlessly into the night.
