This was a destination wedding success with a soft garden romance vibe at Kualoa Ranch. Traveling from Texas to say I do it was important to the couple to showcase one of the many reasons they love Hawaii and decided to say their vows here. The epic Ko’olau mountain views at Paliku played a big part in that. 

The couple’s love for the mountains in Hawaii made their ceremony location choice at Paliku an obvious one. This is something we don’t see often enough at Paliku Gardens but we absolutely LOVE!  They highlighted the mountains for the ceremony. This property is SO gorgeous and offers 360-degree views including both the mountains and ocean! And while the typical ocean and China Man’s hat ceremony view make a picture-perfect backdrop the epic mountain views are one of its best features. Kiley & CJ’s ceremony took place in the Bowl with the mountains as the focal point for their I Do’s. Aloha Artisans’ circle arch dressed in asymmetrical loose greenery and white florals framed the view.

The soft romantic garden reception set up was an absolute dream. A clear top tent, cafe lighting, rattan lanterns, floating candles, assorted greenery, and pops of white flowers.  Pops of color came from their terracotta napkins and square rattan chargers.  Their sweetheart table was a vision! A dark wood farm table decorated with loose greenery and white blooms, a peacock sweetheart chair, and a circle arch hung behind them with a neon sign: Forever & Ever Amen. And last but not least Soda Pop’s Airstream bar was a statement piece of the setup! 

This wedding day turned out AMAZING! Both the guests and couple had love in their hearts, smiles on their faces and drinks in their hands as they danced the night away in celebration of this special union! Congratulations Kiley & CJ!!! And Thank you to all the incredible and talented vendors that made the day come together so flawlessly. We are so grateful to work with such amazing people.
