Hawaii Weddings

From the Bride… I had just transferred to the New York office for work and didn’t know too many people. I met Daren at a few work events and thought he was cute, but nothing came of it besides work-type conversation. That all changed when a mutual coworker, career mentor, and now our best friend hosted a weekend gathering that we were both invited to. That’s where we were able to talk outside of the work setting and really hit it off. The sparks started to fly immediately, and the rest is history. I should also mention that the coworker that hosted that gathering agreed to officiate our wedding, introducing us and then making it forever five years later!

Daren and I live in New York City, but since all my family and some of my friends live in Japan, we thought Hawaii was the perfect happy middle (and who doesn’t want to get married in Hawaii?). I also spent several summers in Hawaii as a young girl as my grandparents owned a second home in Honolulu, and I have very fond memories of this time. When we decided to get married in Hawaii, I remember as a little girl coming to the Kahala hotel and being in awe of its beauty. I checked out their website and talked to the very helpful wedding team, and I knew this was the perfect place for us!

Our goal for the wedding was to have a fun time with our close friends and family. We did not care to tick all the boxes of a traditional wedding and only incorporated traditions we enjoyed. We wanted to incorporate our different backgrounds, so we worked in both a Japanese sake ceremony and the Jewish tradition of breaking the glass. We also wanted to embrace the destination, so we had gorgeous white leis and personalized sunglasses for each guest. We had minimal decor with pale pink flowers to not take away from the ocean back drop and conveniently a double rainbow showed up during cocktail hour to decorate the skies!

I wanted something simple and less formal for my bridal look to match the scenery. I seriously think I saw thousands of dresses online (the selection is endless!) When I realized the ones I liked had a common theme – I really liked dresses with laces and ruching. I was able to find the perfect dress with ruching in the front and lace in the back which was simple but also unique. I thank Kleinfelds for helping me find the Romona Keveza dress that I always dreamed of!

For Daren, we wanted something a little more fun and less formal. His work suits are more traditional greys and dark blues, so he used the opportunity to wear a suit with a little more character and pop. The light blue felt right in terms of matching the venue and ocean backdrop while the pink tie was the added pizazz he thought was the perfect finishing touch. I certainly didn’t complain because it matched the flowers! He got the suit and shirt custom made from Sebastien Grey in NYC, and they did an amazing job!

My husband – who cannot speak a word of Japanese – decided that he wanted to deliver a speech to my parents…in Japanese. I remember that I nervously watched him stumble through his speech in a language he was not familiar with in an attempt to connect with my parents. which made me very emotional. I know that my parents felt it too, as my mom’s eyes flooded with tears. This moment meant so much to me on so many levels, and the emotion I felt is something I will never forget.

My advice for Brides-to-be: Don’t sweat the small stuff and enjoy the moment!

Inspired by her fashion icon, this pretty Bride wore Carrie Bradshaw’s blue Manolo Blahnik pumps for her something blue on her wedding day, and we absolutely love how they paired with her Monique Lhuillier gown – no surprise, with these two timeless brands. Absolutely Loved photographed the wedding on Oahu’s North Shore, which perfectly reflected the Bride’s style with the help of Nichole Weddings and Events and Passion Roots‘ lovely floral arrangements. See it all right here.

Whimsical

From Absolutely Loved Photography… Jennifer and Ned’s Hawaii destination wedding took place at the naturally beautiful Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu. The Bride wore a romantic lace dress, her Bridesmaids wore glamorous sequined dresses, and the gentlemen wore ocean-inspired navy suits. The neutral florals were complemented nicely with whites, greens, and soft tones of blush. It was a simple wedding by the beach with emphasis on the couple and their close family and friends.

From the Bride… I met Ned through a friend when he moved home to Seattle after living in Vegas for nine years. We were instantaneously best friends and would hang out every day after work, either eating at the newest restaurants in Seattle or binge watching Game of Thrones. He eventually took me on our first date to watch a movie (Lay the Favourite) which he was an extra in but didn’t tell me until I saw him on the big screen. At that moment, I knew he was someone unique that I wanted to get to know more. For our one year dating anniversary, he took me to Europe on a backpacking trip, but knowing my love for luxury hotels, he made sure each night we laid our heads to rest at the most beautiful hotels even though we had walked to see sights all day and only had 3-4 outfits which we wore for 2 weeks! A couple years into dating, we took a weekend trip to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon, and that is where he proposed!

For my bridal look, I absolutely love Monique Lhuillier – her pieces are timeless, classy, and feminine. I am also drawn to ornate details like my floating straps and back details. One of my fashion icons is Sarah Jessica Parker – I have always wanted to own the blue Manolo Blahniks from the Sex and the City movie and thought this would be a perfect opportunity to include them as my something blue. I searched high and low for a makeup artist who was fashion forward but also had strong techniques and found Liz from Maui Makeup Artistry who exceeded my expectations by far!

Ned picked out (from Blue Nile) the engagement ring all on his own and completely shocked me. He is extremely traditional, and I would have never guessed he would purchase a yellow diamond, but he chose something that represented me. I strive to be different from the pack and walk to the beat of my own drum, and he wanted me to have a ring that was different from the rest.

We wanted to be on the quieter side of Oahu (North Shore) with beautiful views and great hotel service so we wouldn’t have to worry about catering, decor, etc., so we chose Turtle Bay Resort. It also probably helped that we love Forgetting Sarah Marshall (which was shot at the resort).

Three moments from our big day stood out to me: 1) My dad’s speech, which was heartfelt and reminded me that I was the apple of his eye and how excited he was to welcome Ned into our family. 2) Stepping out as husband and wife for the first time amongst our closest friends and family was the most amazing feeling ever, to be surrounded by so much love. 3) The first dance where Ned sang all the words to Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran to me – it was the song that we both loved when we first heard it and would sing it in the car together, plus it played on the radio right after he proposed to me, so we knew it had to be our first dance song!

Glamorous

From the Bride…Growing up in two completely different parts of the United States, I’m a local girl born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and Tom, a southern boy from Jackson, Mississippi we some how found our way to each other in the middle of one of the busiest cities, Los Angeles. Our love story began with short glances and interactions at work in the hospital. Tom is a surgery resident physician while I am medical surgical nurse at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. We would occasionally talk about plan of care about the patients we would be caring for and purposely start to religiously show up for our monthly unit MD/RN collaboration meetings just to get more of a glimpse and interaction with each other. Not quite like Grey’s Anatomy but the real and genuine love that grew between us was extraordinary because we found our person in each other.

When we were planning our wedding it was a no brainer that Honolulu was the place to be but where exactly?! Since both of us lived in Los Angeles we were grateful that my parents were able to help us look at different venue options that were available for our date. When they came across the Royal Hawaiian it was just perfect and came full circle when Tom told me it was the first hotel he stayed at when he first came to Hawaii couple months before we met and for it to be the place where we celebrate our love, there was no other place than the Royal. The lush greenery against the historic pink reminded him of places back in the south and with having Waikiki beach and Diamond Head as our back drop we had the best of both worlds at our finger tips. Our ceremony was held in a chapel that was near and dear to my heart. Growing up Catholic, I wanted a traditional Church wedding ceremony and as a daughter/alumni of Sacred Hearts Academy I knew St. Margaret Mary Chapel was the perfect intimate setting. Lina from Lina B flowers decorated the church with a simple green garland to add to the charming character of the Chapel.

Planning the wedding from Los Angeles felt a little overwhelming even with family back in Hawaii to help, we still had no idea where to start after we got our venue. Everything just fell into place when we found our amazing wedding planner that is now our dear friend Karisa from Say I Do By Karisa! She is definitely the definition of a boss lady! With our first meeting in Hawaii back in August we told her our vision of a clean, chic, elegant and romantic wedding at the Royal, she helped guide us in making our dream wedding come to life! Her vendor recommendations were spot on because they were truly the best! Every trip we made to Hawaii, Karisa had set up appointments with our vendors and continuously emailed, called, and texted us with updates when we were back in LA. If you are planning a destination wedding in Honolulu, Say I Do By Karisa and her team is the first phone call you should make cause she will make your wedding dreams become a reality!

A Cake Life made our wonderful guava chiffon and carrot cake with buttercream frosting! The cake meeting and tasting was truly an experience because Kristen was so sweet and she sketched our cake design at the meeting! Aria studios were our videographer and photographer and Jonas and Holly were our main contacts throughout our whole experience and even after the wedding! They truly listened to our vision of how Tom and I wanted our wedding day to be captured and we are truly grateful on how amazing everything turned out! The floral goddess, Sue from Su-V Expressions is so talented. We wanted more of a greenery wedding with white accented flowers even though the idea seemed simple she made the floral decor so elegant! The sweetheart table was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and one of my favorite highlights of our wedding decor. The cascading greenery and the pillar candles reflecting against the light coming from Waikiki beach just set the tone for romance.

Little details were just as important. The draping from Les Saison transformed the ballroom into a white canvas and the glass panels that surrounded the ballroom were exposed so our guests could look out and see the night sky of Waikiki beach. I took calligraphy classes from one of my favorite calligraphers Courtney from PoppyJackShop. I hand calligraphy all the escort cards that were in a shape of a marble leaf tile to go with our greenery theme. HappilyEverEtched from Buena Park, California made our amazing Laser etched photo booth back drop and Nestor and Joey Hipolito from One Day Signs from Mililani, Hawaii created a beautiful mirror calligraphy signage to add a personal touch.

Tahiti Rey sang songs to the important dances I’ll ever remember. DJ Anit, a dear friend, brought the reception to life. All that mattered was all the love we were surrounded with that came from our friends and family who travelled all over the world to be with us on our special day. Our wedding day was everything we could have imagined and more!

In a moment of absolute heart-melting romance, this couple decided to elope during their O’ahu vacation. They hiked to the top of a mountain with breathtaking views, accompanied by Anna Riedel of Absolutely Loved Photography, and after the Bride changed into a colorful, floral dress and Hawaiian haku, they exchanged vows in the most intimate of ceremonies.

A Honolulu Native Marries His Love on Oahu

View Portfolio

Wendy and Robbie first met as colleagues in investment banking, and when it came time to plan their wedding, they knew it had to be special. They chose Robbie’s home state of Hawaii as the setting and brought on Flowergirls, Absolutely Loved, and an entire crew of vendors to bring their dream day to life. Consider this gallery your virtual escape and venture to Oahu right this way.

From the Bride… Robbie was born and raised in Honolulu, so we wanted to get married there. We looked at all the venues in Oahu, and just fell in love with Lanikuhonua the moment we set foot onto the place. It’s SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL! Breathtakingly beautiful, with its lush green lawns and untarnished ocean view. We had a lot of guests coming from the Mainland, so we wanted a venue that showed off the extreme beauty of Hawaii. We also needed a venue large enough to hold up to 300 people. Lanikuhonua was perfect.

Bride’s Style

Robbie was born and raised in Honolulu, so we wanted to get married there. It’s funny because the Katie May dress is called the Poipu Dress, and I knew I found the perfect dress the moment I tried it on. It was just so me. I like that it’s simple and sexy (with the plunging back), but still very elegant. It’s perfect for an outdoor wedding in Hawaii. I had a pair of cheap Calvin Klein black strappy heels that were the most comfortable heels ever. I searched everywhere for the same pair in white and eventually found them on eBay.

Groom’s Style

I wanted the groomsmen in light gray and Robbie in navy blue so he would stand out. We used to work in finance (that’s how we met), and he used to always wear a navy blue suit. So I felt like that was his color.

Color Palette + Style

We chose romantic and boho with a touch of vintage as our wedding theme. This has always been my personal fashion style. I’m very feminine with a hint of boho chic. We wanted to be in a tropical beach setting because Robbie grew up in Hawaii and I wanted to show all my family/friends on the mainland what his beautiful home was like.

Floral Design + Decor

I just wanted to minimize costs while achieving the look we wanted. I picked lanterns I saw on Pinterest as centerpiece options and absolutely loved that idea. We got the handpainted “Welcome” sign from Etsy. We wanted to add that vintage touch to our wedding. For table cards, we used inside jokes and movies / TV shows that we loved. For instance, one of the tables was named “Westeros” because Robbie and I are huge Game of Thrones fans. Another table was named “The Compound, Part 2,” because Robbie’s passdown house in business school was called The Compound, and he shared a lot of amazing memories with me and his friends there.

Food + Beverage

We wanted our menu to reflect things we personally love! I am absolutely obsessed with Hawaiian shave ice. The first time I’d visited Hawaii with Robbie when I was dating, I made him take me to every single shave ice place on the island. I also love poke in Hawaii–it’s so delicious, so needed to serve Poke at the wedding. We picked our favorite drinks as our signature cocktails–we wanted drinks that were yummy but also refreshing. Our food menu was Hawaiian + Chinese. We wanted to share our cultures with our guests. For instance, tuna poke is Hawaiian, and the roasted pig buns were Chinese.

Key Moments of the Day

There were too many favorite moments. We were adamant about ensuring our siblings all had a role to play in the wedding: Michael (my brother) was my Man of Honor, Mikey (Robbie’s brother) was his Best Man, and Kristin (Robbie’s sister) was our officiant. We also wanted our MC to be someone we knew, so we asked Robbie’s grad school roommate, Dorian Bertsch, who does radio broadcasting in his spare time, to be our MC. I had no idea Robbie was going to sing and dance at our wedding! Those were complete surprises. He totally surprised and touched me beyond words. He made me feel incredibly loved and lucky!

Take Your Breath Away Anniversary Shoot

From Moana Events… Both natives to Hawaii who wound up in Los Angeles, Serine and Troy had to move thousands of miles away from home to reconnect and fall in love. Dillingham Ranch, one of only a few working ranches in Oahu, acted as the picture perfect location for Serine and Troy’s wedding. Jewel toned colors and non-traditional elements made for a gorgeous and elegant dream wedding. Instead of the usual white ball gown, the bride wore a blush, a-line, form fitting dress. Guests were welcomed to the ceremony with a glass of pink champagne. The floral centerpieces incorporated real black grapes and vintage gold vases to enhance the rich color scheme of the wedding. Locally made jars of preserves acted both as favors and seating cards. During cocktail hour, the reception guests were treated to signature drinks with a nod to the couple’s nicknames (Hibis-Kiss The Bride, Troy Boy Tropicale, and Peachy Keen Serine Bean) and a Hawaiian shaved ice truck.

While the guests were at cocktail hour, our bride made her way over to the horses on the ranch. She managed to convince a ranch hand to let her and her new husband ride a horse – in her wedding dress! Instead of the typical plated meal, the bride and groom had a family style meal to encourage guests to talk and get to know each other. Surrounded by their loved ones, Serine and Troy danced the night away under a clear top tent and a canopy of twinkle lights on a custom dance floor, adorned with the words, “ Dance like no one is watching!”

When I was pulling together this feature, I was torn on what to focus on. Because the images themselves are so utterly beautiful. The backdrop and the photos from Artiese Studios…breathtaking. The bride and her handsome groom…stunning. The Gossamer gown, the florals from Passion Roots, the everything. But then I read the sage advice that accompanied the piece (featured below) and thought that perhaps the real beauty was tucked into the story. Then I decided to just let you soak up all of the gorgeous and decide for yourself what you love the most. Click here for even more.

From the Bride…My words of advice…for the wedding day, I’d say to make the celebration as personal as possible. At our wedding, we had our favorite pizza and played all our favorite songs and danced with our favorite people. Don’t worry about everything being “perfect” because if you’re surrounded by all the people and things you love, then it will be perfect. Bonus tip speaking as a photographer, plan your schedule/location around the light (no high noon ceremonies in the desert, please!)

For marriage, it’s cliche but making time for each other is *so* important! Date nights at least once a month, and don’t forget to kiss every single day! You might thing it sounds simple, but things get lost in the chaos! Everything in life can get so busy that you forget to really cherish each other, and it’s so important to take a moment to step out of everything together and just enjoy being in each other’s company once in a while.

With Three Gowns This Gorgeous, Good Luck Picking a Favorite

It’s our lucky day; there’s not one, not two, but three gorgeous gowns included in this shoot by Christine Clark. And I’m at a loss trying to pick a favorite; it’s near impossible.

See all the beauty in our Vault right this way!

From Christine Clark… For this inspiration shoot in Hawaii we wanted to capture a softer, more muted tropical vibe. Island style meets old world sophistication. Set at dawn, with sunrise spilling into our misty bay, we arranged an elegant tablescape overlooking the water. Designs by Hemingway created wildly romantic florals as the perfect complement to lace and silk gowns by Grace Loves Lace and Rue De Seine. Corsivo Calligraphy designed a stationery set capturing wonderfully the old world elegance envisioned. The dreamiest vintage ring from Trumpet and Horn provided the perfect detail and graceful sparkle to our vision.

At the Halfway Point Between Their Two Hometowns, This Bride and Groom Said “I Do”

From Aria Studios… Tori and Glenn wanted a wedding that emphasized Hawaii and was fun and comfortable for their guests. They chose the perfect location at Loulu Palm Estate on the North Shore of Oahu, complete with horses, empty beaches, and a killer sunset.

I love that Tori incorporated deep berry tones for her wedding that popped against the lush green estate. Tori was stunning in her deep back Willowby Watters gown and all the girls wore barefoot sandals from Forever Soles.

The warm Hawaiian breeze fluttered the long ribbons against the floral arch as Tori walked down the aisle to Glenn. I can’t handle how adorable they were when they first saw each other!

While Tori’s family attended locally, Glenn’s family and friends all traveled from the East Coast for the occasion. Pineapple signature cocktails and soft pink proteas kept the Hawaiian theme alive and elegant amidst the cafe lights, clear top tent, farm tables, and gold accents. The newly joined families danced the night away on the outdoor dance floor with Tori and Glenn surrounded by their favorite people and the twinkling Hawaiian starlight above.

These Red Lips + Chic Dresses Are Our New Beauty + Style Goals

From The Bride…How and where did you meet? A mutual friend of ours asked a group of us to help him review a restaurant (he’s a food blogger) – that was the first time Adam and I met and we spent the whole night talking behind the back of the guy sitting between us – we were inseparable! Adam asked for my number at the end of the night and we went on a date the following Saturday and the rest is history!

How did he propose? At the Taj Mahal in India

From Moana Events…Keren from New Zealand, met Adam from New Jersey, while they were both living and working in Singapore. This fun-loving and well-travelled couple decided to have their dream Jewish destination wedding in Hawaii on the island of Oahu, which was the half way point between the bride and grooms hometowns. Loulu Palm Estate, which offers gorgeous oceanfront and mountain range views, was the perfect location that provided the tropical elements the couple wanted for their romantic wedding day.

In a private ceremony, before their wedding, Keren and Adam signed their Ketubah, a document that outlines the husband’s obligations to his wife, that they had specially made from Israel. Guests were asked to wear all white allowing the bride, who was stunning in a blush pink gown with sparkling embellishments, to truly be the center of attention. Keren and Adam provided specially made light pink yarmulkes, embroidered with a yellow and pink hibiscus flower, for the men to wear. In true Jewish tradition the couple was married under a wooden chuppah, adorned with creme and blush flowers and solidified their union with the breaking of glass. During cocktail hour, guests were able to choose from five cleverly named specialty drinks, including a “ Mazol Tov Mai Tai” and “Singapore Sunset.”

For the reception guest were invited to sit under a clear top tent partially draped in white silk fabric and adorned with crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Guest tables were arranged in a “U” formation and decorated with blush tablecloths. The centerpieces included clear, textured glass and wooden vases that were filled with creme and blush flowers and accented by dark green foliage. The couple was married on the first day of Hanukkah and conducted a menorah lighting during their wedding reception. In honor of their Jewish culture, the couple and their guests danced the Hora and had the blessing of the challah by the rabbi. For dessert, guests were treated to Malasada’s, a delicious Hawaiian doughnut. Surrounded by loved ones, Keren and Adam danced the night away which was the perfect ending to their dream wedding.

The red lip. This dress. The views that legit cause gasps. All in one place; this Vault gallery is seriously stunning. Big props go out to Christine Clark for capturing it all for our viewing pleasure and to Passion Roots for giving us new bouquets to obsess over. All in all, this is our cup of tea if we do say so ourselves.

From Christine Clark… For this inspiration shoot we nestled ourselves high up on a Hawaiian hill with the ocean far below us. With golden hour glowing, and delicate Sarah Janks dresses from Lace & Love fluttering in the wind, the setting was both barren and lush, sweeping and intimate. The light from the setting sun brought out the rich warmth of the champagne toned gown, while the rosy florals created by Passion Roots married with the romantic blush of the lace gown. An elegant calligraphy set by Alley & Co. added extra grace and beauty to the affair, mirroring the soft lines of the dresses. With dusty golden light and murmuring wind, this session was one for romance and dreaming.

In love with Hawaii? More beauty this way!
