Oahu Beach Weddings

Being part of Maryann and Rick’s Oahu Beach Wedding was such a sweet experience. For starters, it was an absolutely beautiful day! But to make it even better, this couple got married on our bride’s parent’s 50th wedding anniversary! How special is that?!

From the moment Maryann made her entrance with her mom and dad, we knew this would be a ceremony to remember. And it definitely was! We could tell by the way Rick looked at his bride that she truly is the love of his life. And it’s obvious Maryann feels the same way about her groom 🙂 . We couldn’t be happier for these two and are so glad we got to celebrate with them! Thank you, Maryann and Rick, for trusting Simple Oahu Wedding to help plan an evening every bit as lovely as your relationship. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

This couple chose the perfect location for their Oahu Beach Wedding! The lighting and scenery at Waimanalo Bay never ceases to amaze us. I mean just check out the amazing color of that water! Have you ever seen such a bright blue shade of the ocean? We seriously can’t get over it!

We especially love how this bride and groom made their entrance together! What better way to start a marriage than in complete unity from the beginning 🙂 . It’s easy to see these two love each other and have built their relationship on a deep friendship, which we adore! Thank you, Deborah and Larry, for sharing your special day with Simple Oahu Wedding. We loved celebrating with you and wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

As Oahu wedding coordinators it is incredibly fun to create gorgeous wedding inspirational shoots. We love showing future clients just what is possible by adding a few individual touches to their weddings in Oahu.

Feast your eyes on this gorgeous Oahu beach wedding on Waimanalo Beach in East Oahu.

Why an Inspirational Shoot?

From time to time we set up a styled shoot with models to show what’s achievable for weddings in Oahu. Inspirational shoots are a great way to see available options for floral, clothing styles, wedding locations and time of day. Oahu beach weddings are beautiful without extra decor, but for the person who wants something extra, there are lots of options.

Breathtaking Wedding Floral

Our company values sustainable practices so we were in love with the idea of using only locally sourced florals. Floral Designer Debbie Hemingway came through with this fantastic bougainvillea dream arrangement. Bougainvillea grows wildly all over Hawaii and comes in these amazing vibrant colors. It is also very fickle, so it must be picked right before it is used in any arrangements. The bouquet was made from dried bougainvillea to ensure it looked good for the full shoot and stood up to the hot sun.

Timing of the Wedding is Important

We started this wedding shoot at the same time we would start a morning wedding. We wanted to show off the kind of light our clients can expect at that time of day. Because of the exceptionally gorgeous day on the morning of the shoot, we were able to show off Waimanalo Bay beach in all its glory. Waimanalo Bay offers towering mountains in the distance and unreal aqua watercolor.

We loved the way the hot pink and coral in the bougainvillea stood out against the aqua water. You can only get that color blue in the early part of the day, as the sun gets more overhead the blues of the water get softer.

Wedding Attire

For the bride’s wardrobe, we kept it simple with a fitted lace dress by Alexis. We procured the dress from Rent the Runway which had a great selection. We love the concept of using Rent the Runway for your wedding clothing. Rent the Runway makes fashion accessible to all and is a more sustainable option than buying a dress you will only wear once. For our groom, we scored stylish navy pants, light blue shirt, and floral print blue tie from our favorite store for bargains, Nordstrom Rack. Who doesn’t like one-stop shopping at great deals!?

Wedding Hair & Make-UP

Our friends at Reveal Hair and Make-Up did such a great job with the hair and makeup. We loved the idea of a bold lip to tie in the bright bougainvillea floral arrangements. The loose braid hairstyle kept the hair out of our model’s face and was perfect for the shoot! Beaches in Hawaii are notoriously windy so a manageable hairstyle is a must.

Wedding Photography

Our sister company Karma Hill Photography knocked it out of the park with their signature soft, airy, cinematic style. The airy photographic feel accentuated the vibrant color of the floral and light-colored beach sand contrasts. As Oahu wedding coordinators we believe quality photography is of the utmost importance. Having amazing wedding photography is the only way to capture the real beauty of your wedding day.

This Oahu wedding shoot was designed to inspire clients to think outside the box of what is possible. Oahu beach weddings and Elopements have tons of styling options so please reach out for ideas!

Special thanks to our models Megan and Tim. Megan is one of the photographers on the Karma Hill Photography team, so it was fun for her to get to feel what it is like to be in front of the camera. She said it gave her a new appreciation for what clients feel like on their wedding day. Tim was such a great sport and took the day off from work to start his modeling career 🙂 .

With an intimate setting for their Oahu Beach Wedding, Yukie and David were so excited to say, “I do” surrounded by just family! It was especially touching to see our bride’s kids and our groom’s kids stand by them during their ceremony.

Their wedding guests all wore aloha print shirts and dresses for an extra festive vibe. All the colors also complimented the medals on David’s police dress uniform that he wore for a personal touch. And who doesn’t love a man in uniform? It’s obvious Yukie does! The way these two look at and treat each other is everything, we are so glad we got to be part of their wedding day. So thank you, Yukie and David, for trusting Simple Oahu Wedding to help plan such a special occasion! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Having traveled from Texas for their Oahu Destination Wedding, Ashley and Chase were so excited to get married in paradise! And we were so happy to be part of it 🙂 . It was definitely a day to remember, full of so much excitement and love!

Even though these two have known each other since high school, they actually reconnected many years later as adults and fell in love. And we are so glad they did! Our favorite part of their Oahu Destination Wedding was when this bride and groom got in the water at the end of the evening for a few fun wedding portraits. We love it! Thank you, Ashley and Chase, for trusting Simple Oahu Wedding to help plan such a special occasion. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

After meeting while Yuka was on vacation here 6 years ago, these two couldn’t imagine a better way to get married than at an Oahu Beach Wedding! And since they both live here now, this couple only had to travel from Waikiki for their ceremony. We love that they have made Hawaii their home and we are so excited for them to start the next chapter of their lives together as husband and wife!

Who would have thought that an outing at a local Waikiki bar called Moose McGillycuddy’s aka Mooses, would turn into meeting the love of your life? It might sound like an unlikely place to find true love but we are so glad they did! And that we got to celebrate with them at their Oahu Beach Wedding. Thank you, Yuka and Tim, for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding to help plan all your dreams come true! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Surrounded by loved ones Nakretia and Jerel were so excited to get married at an Oahu Destination Wedding. And how could they not be? I mean just check out this amazing setting! With the ocean behind them, sand beneath their toes, and palm trees all around these two were more than ready to say “I do” in paradise.

This location’s not the only thing that made their Oahu Destination Wedding memorable though! Our bride and groom’s wedding attire of all white with gold accents created a festive vibe and left our couple radiating in the Hawaii sunlight. We especially love that Nakretia requested a flower crown to match her dress for a final touch. She seriously looked so beautiful, and it was obvious Jerel agreed since he couldn’t take his eyes off of her! Which is exactly how it should be :). As our time together wound to a close, our happy newlyweds took off for a celebratory dinner at Monkey Pod. What a perfect way to end an already perfect day! Thank you, Nakretia and Jerel, for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding to help make this a day you would always remember. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
