Kualoa Ranch Turns Tropical Glam

Weddings at Molii Gardens are always so amazing. With the breathtaking view of the green mountains and the lush green lawn spaces, it’s easily one of our favorite venues. So what makes a wedding at Molii Gardens even better? A boat ride over to Secret Island for the ceremony and then a reception at Molii Gardens, of course! This couple wanted an epic wedding experience not only for themselves but for their guests who traveled to celebrate their love. Dioundra and Will’s glamorous, southern belle charm incorporated into their Hawaii tropical glam theme was straight up extraordinary!

The Ceremony

Dioundra and Will wanted something different for their Secret Island beach ceremony. Rather than having a typical sandy aisle, the couple wanted a mirror aisle where it looked like they were walking on water. And, it was so pretty! Aloha Artisans’ Kona altar decked with white drapery and two gorgeous vibrant tropical floral arrangements, perfectly framed Chinaman’s Hat. In her stunning strapless sweetheart gown and his impeccable crisp navy suit, Dioundra and Will looked radiant. Hand-in-hand, glowing as the newly Mr. and Mrs. William Bright, Dioundra and Will walked down their mirror aisle with full hearts and wide smiles.

#ForeverBright

On the boat ride back to Molii Gardens, guests were welcomed into cocktail hour on the lower lawn. Beautiful, harmonious music echoed in the lower lawn by a saxophonist and pianist. And, it really set the overall cocktail hour vibe— charming. Dioundra and Will’s reception took place in the upper lawn at Molii Gardens. When we say this place was transformed into their glamorous tropical inspired wedding, we were not kidding. Molii Gardens was not noticeable, at all. The lawn space was filled with guest tables covered in stunning gold sequin linen, accented with navy blue chargers, and vibrant tropical floral arrangements. The couple’s sweetheart table was decked out in gold sequin linen and a lush sweetheart floral table arrangement. J’Adore Florals and Designs did an amazing job! With Aloha Artisans’ white luxury loveseat, their sweetheart table was simply glamorous! One of our favorite details of their sweetheart table-scape was Dioundra and Will’s elegant customized gold chargers. The gold on top of the navy blue chargers was beautiful!

An Extraordinary Sweetheart Backdrop

One of the most memorable details of Dioundra and Will’s wedding day was their hanging cake! You read that right! A hanging cake! The ceremony altar was transformed into a jaw-dropping hanging cake backdrop for their sweetheart table. It was stunningly epic!
