Gorgeous is the only word for this beach wedding.
Gorgeous couple, stunning setting, and delicious details!
Christine and Ryan got married on the beautiful island of Oahu. “We chose a destination wedding because everyone told us that the day would go by in a flash and we really wanted to make the most of it and be able to spend quality time with the people that are dearest to us. It helped our families to bond and allowed all of our friends to go on a trip together that we wouldn’t have been able to orchestrate otherwise.“~ Christine, Bride.
It was a toes-in-the-sand, beach ceremony at Turtle Bay. The crystal blue water background could not have been more picture perfect. “The best part of the day was walking down the aisle and seeing Ryan’s face for the first time. His tears were so sweet and made all my nervous butterflies go away!” ~ Christine.
The reception was simple elegance. “I wanted the focus to be on the beautiful surroundings and just be punctuated by our details. My favorite details at the reception were the cobalt bottles we found at Pier One combined with the starfish. It was a simple, yet eclectic vibe.” ~ Christine.
We decided to do DIY floral centerpieces. Christine wanted all white florals to compliment the cobalt blue bridesmaids dresses, which were very fresh and clean. We ordered the flowers a month before and picked them up the morning of the wedding and arranged them in the cobalt bottles. We also made all the bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, and mothers bouquets out of white orchids and hydrangea that were finished with white ribbon. Christine’s bouquet was made by a local florist with white hydrangea and white calla lilies, stunning!
For escort cards they wrote each guest’s name on a sand dollar in cobalt blue. They also had a white dessert bar including chocolate and carrot cake, white frosted cupcakes, cake, powdered sugar cookies, mini cannolis, cappuccino creme filled profiterole, and tiramisu.
