After the proposal and a whirlwind of pre-wedding planning, we both agreed we wanted just three things for our big day: simplicity, nature, and fun.
Once we found Haiku Gardens in Kaneohe, Hawaii, we knew it was the perfect fit. The moment we stepped foot on the property, we looked at each other and said, “Yup—this is it.” We didn’t need to overdo anything. The lush greenery and peaceful views did all the talking.

The ceremony was surrounded by the most beautiful backdrop—no fancy decorations needed because honestly, God already did the decorating. I loved how calm and serene everything felt.

One of my favorite little details was our cake. It was simple, clean, and had gold teaspoons as toppers given by my friend Barbara from Buona Pappa, which made it feel extra personal. And yes, each layer was a different flavor—because why not?
We kept the vibe light and fun throughout the day. I especially loved how the color palette—seafoam green and soft neutrals—came together with the bridesmaids’ dresses and flowers.
We were blessed to have an amazing group of family and friends with us who made it even more special. Looking back at this moment always makes me smile. Everything came together just how we hoped—and now I get to call this guy my husband. 🥰
If you're planning your wedding and thinking about going simple and outdoor, I highly recommend it. It's less about the stuff and more about the people and moments. 💚
