Minimalist Charm Was the Anchor of Their Maui Summer Nuptials

The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision

Their wedding was the perfect blend of classic elegance and romantic charm, with a minimal yet inviting design. Soft, timeless details like lush florals and sparkling chandeliers created an intimate atmosphere, while the understated decor allowed their love to take center stage. This beautiful celebration was the epitome of effortless romance and sophisticated style.

The Fashion
Wedding Gown

Our bride looked absolutely stunning in her Ines Di Santo gown, exuding elegance and timeless beauty with every step.

Groomsman Attire
Our groom looked dashing in a custom tuxedo, made even more special with a personalized touch—a liner adorned with photos of the couple, adding a heartfelt and unique detail to his ensemble.
The Details
Food & Drink

Guests were treated to two signature drinks: the bold and sophisticated Samurai, a whiskey cocktail infused with Asian pear, charred cedar bitters, and a touch of lemon oil; and the refreshingly vibrant Salted Lemon, a blend of fresh-pressed cantaloupe, watermelon, lime, simple syrup, and reposado tequila. These signature sips perfectly complemented the evening's celebration, adding a personal and flavorful touch to the festivities. The menu was a culinary delight, featuring macadamia nut-crusted Hawaiian catch with lilikoi butter and papaya gastrique, accompanied by coconut forbidden rice. Guests also enjoyed sous vide beef filet served with garlic mashed potatoes, Maui onion soubise, gorgonzola, and shallot panzanella crumble. The appetizers brought a local flair, including Hamachi miso yaki musubi, truffle mushroom risotto, beef tenderloin bruschetta, and Hawaiian ahi poke bowls. It was a feast that perfectly blended island flavors with gourmet elegance.

Florals & Decor
Their wedding ceremony took place near the trees, angled perfectly toward the ocean at the beautiful Olowalu Plantation House. The aisle was elegantly lined with white rose petals, with stunning floral arrangements marking the start of the walk. At the ceremony's focal point, Mary and Brando stood beneath a breathtaking halo floral arch, symbolizing their union.
Wedding Cake

Our couple’s wedding cake was a vision of understated elegance—a single tier adorned with delicate white orchids, embodying simplicity and refined beauty.

Special Detail #1
Following their ceremony, guests were treated to a relaxed cocktail hour by the water, where they enjoyed serene ocean views. A mix of chic high-top and low cocktail tables, complemented by stylish chairs and cozy lounge areas, were thoughtfully arranged to create inviting spaces for mingling. Garnish provided expertly crafted cocktails, perfect for sipping as the sun set. The elegant lounge setup enhanced the ambiance, offering a comfortable yet sophisticated area for guests to unwind before the evening’s dinner and dancing began.
Special Detail #2

After the cocktail hour, guests dined at elegantly arranged long tables adorned with textured linens. The tables featured flowing ivory-colored runners, complemented by a sea of candles and glassware brimming with white roses, creating a soft, romantic glow. Overhead, bistro lights twinkled, casting an intimate ambiance, while stunning chandeliers hung above the dining area, adding a touch of timeless elegance. Our bride and groom were seated at a beautifully designed sweetheart table, illuminated by a breathtaking chandelier with cascading flowers and glowing candles, perfectly showcasing them throughout the evening.

Special Detail #3

A special of their wedding was their interactive seating chart adorned with personalized mini tequila bottles, adding a unique and playful touch. Each bottle was customized with a tag displaying the guest’s name and table assignment, offering a memorable keepsake for attendees. The thoughtful table numbers guided guests to their designated tables, where beautifully crafted menus or place cards marked their individual seats, ensuring a seamless and elegant dining experience. We absolutely loved their creative twist on the seating chart, transforming it into a stylish hydration wall. As the evening transitioned into dancing, refreshing coconut waters were thoughtfully displayed, allowing guests to grab a drink and stay energized on the dance floor.
