Everything about this vibrant wedding emanates joyful, colorful, free-spirited, dreamy, and just happy vibes overall! This Paliku Gardens wedding at Kualoa Ranch was effortless and intimate – from the stunning colorful florals, the jaw-dropping view of Hawaii’s mountain range, and not to mention how fully present every single person was; making the day feel so wholesome! I loved every little second of it, it couldn’t have been a more perfect day!

The bride is one of the most joyful, fun, and quirky people ever! The first time we met during our client meeting, we talked for almost 2 hours chatting about their wedding, of course; but also just connected about everything and anything about life! She is seriously one of my favorite human beings! When it came down to her wedding, though, her personality absolutely exploded over every little detail and she truly brought her vision to life. She is genuinely such a colorful and joyful person, and her day reflected that to the T.

When I showed up on-site, I couldn’t find Becky in the bridal suite. After exploring the venue for a while, I found her at the ceremony site in Pajamas with Nate’s printed face all over them hahaha! It was a glorious first meeting in person after all of our Facetimes and just confirmed how awesome and quirky she is! We both screamed and had the biggest hug, she is my long-lost buddy and I am always so grateful to connect in the way that I do with all of my clients!

The Style

If Becky was a wedding style – it would be colorful, vibrant, soft, dreamy, and free-spirited hands down! Her florals by La Flor Events had every happy color imaginable included in them, IN ADDITION to her pastel rainbow nails. Every vendor truly brought Becky’s vision to life and it was executed stunningly! Being a part of the planning process and knowing exactly what she was going for; made me so happy to see it come to life. Becky even ended up ditching her heels and wore her rainbow Tevas all day! These little details proved that they weren’t trying to impress anyone and just did the things they enjoyed and connected with for their special day – as it should be!

The Experience

This wedding was uncomplicated and intimate, proving that you don’t need a lot to have fun! Every family member was fully present and WITH the couple. They all laughed, cried, and celebrated to the absolute fullest. Even when it was time for dancing, they all had a freakin’ blast even though there were less than 20 people in attendance! It was so fun seeing them scream out the lyrics to their favorite songs together and dance to their heart’s desires. It was so wholesome and joy-filled – Becky and Nate TRULY know how to celebrate in their own way!
