This elegant Hawaiian wedding is proof that you can have an Italian-inspired celebration without actually having to jet off to Italy. With the help of wedding planner Stephanie from Esselle Weddings, Lei and Alex were able to fully transform their outdoor Oahu venue space into an elegantly, timeless oasis. Sounds like a fairytale doesn’t it? With the right vendors by your side, it doesn’t have to be.
With a prime Downtown Honolulu location, a charming 1920’s aesthetic, and twinkling fairy lights, Cafe Julia’s outdoor courtyard made for the perfect starting canvas. Wanting the venue’s existing features to shine, SF Fleur incorporated neutral florals into the ceremony and reception designs. The bridal bouquet, boutonnieres, and asymmetrical ceremony backdrop all added a subtle, yet show-stopping elegance to their big day. To tie it all together, A Cake Life created a multi-level tiered cake dressed in florals matching the champagne and emerald green color palette—a truly sweet way to end the night.
From the outdoor venue to the jaw-dropping floral arrangements, this couple’s utterly romantic celebration was pure magic. Keep scrolling for inspiration, and vendors, you’ll want to consider when planning a Hawaiian celebration authentic of your love.
