Jamie & Dave’s wedding was an absolute vision – Euro-modern tropical Romance. This beautiful couple said I Do on Oahu’s windward coast at Kualoa Ranch, utilizing two of their properties for their celebration. The Ceremony was held at the infamous Secret Island, on the beach, and then they hopped on a private catamaran back to Moli’i Gardens for the reception. Their European vibe and tropical elements highlight the beauty of the venue, and elements of culture and family heritage all came together seamlessly. The entire day was bridal magazine worthy!
Ceremony
If you want a private beach ceremony on Oahu, Secret Island at Kualoa Ranch is one of our top picks! It is intimate, secluded, and offers breathtaking views! Can you imagine arriving to your ceremony by private catamaran ride? This epic entrance added an element of classic romance and created an intimate feel. The ceremony decor and design in combination with the epic backdrop of Chinaman’s hat was a magical way to start the day celebrating love.
Reception
The reception setup looked like it had come right out of a Pinterest board. All thanks to an incredible group of vendors who came together to make this couple’s Euro-modern romance vision come to life in this tropical setting. The couple utilized the space with an open concept layout, all guest tables were under a canopy covered in white fabric and romantic string glob lights from Aloha Artisans.
The tablescape was to die for, so romantic. Dark wood cross-back chairs and family-style tables covered in floor-length white gauze and lace runners. Topped with brass tapered candles, delicate gold flatware, vintage goblets, draped napkins, and family heirloom-style blue china dinner plates. To complete the design romantic florals by Designs by Hemmingway in a nude, blush, dusty, and slate blue palette filled the space. The Bar and Prosecco fountain were also curated to match the euro-modern vibe. They served fresh coconuts, specialty handcraft cocktails, and of course Prosecco.
This couple thought of everything and even included a Pinterest-worthy kid’s area that included a tent and low table for picnic-style seating with games and activities. The day was a perfect dance of euro-modern, intimate romance and tropical touches with cultural elements. Jamie performed a surprise Hula during the program in honor of her Hawaiian roots.
