Colorful Wedding in Paradise Celebrating Hawaiian Culture

Raine and Bryan were married at Lanikuhonua on O’ahu, loving the venue not only for being the closest thing to paradise, but also for its mission to preserve and promote Hawaiian culture. Their wedding was as much a celebration of their love as it was a celebration of Hawaii! Absolutely Loved Photography and Cherished in Hawaii Weddings worked with the couple to make sure their day was perfect!

Coral Tropical Invitations

The couple invited guests to their wedding in paradise with coral and gold protea invitations – the King protea would be a focal point of Raine’s stunning bridal bouquet!

The bride chose colorful tropical flowers to celebrate the beauty of the island around her! She wore a traditional ‘lei po’o’, a Hawaiian flower crown, with glossy leaves and birds of paradise for color. Her bouquet was dominated by a King Protea for drama, with pink flowers and tropical leaves to create a bold bouquet.

Raine had help from family and friends to fold the 1001 paper cranes that decorated their bamboo ceremony arbor. The colorful origami decor represented a Japanese tradition that Raine’s mother had upheld for her own wedding, and they made a wish with the final crane.

Food was a top priority for Raine and Bryan – they treated guests to traditional Filipino lechon served with chinese white steamed buns and hoisin sauce for their cocktail hour. They turned to favorite Haili’s Hawaiian Food to serve their reception dinner to make sure it was authentic Hawaiian food! Guests dined on kalua pig , mini butterfish laulau, limu poke, squid luau, lomi salmon, sweet maui onions, and mango haupia. Their bar served lava flows and spam musubis made for the perfect late night snack!
