Before you can plan your wedding, first you need to find the ideal location. Stefany and David decided that a beach wedding in Oahu was the perfect place to tie the knot! Scroll down to experience their elegantly tranquil wedding for yourself.

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Stefany and David wanted a beautiful, quiet, and scenic wedding; that made Waimanalo Bay the perfect location for them. This East Oahu beach set a serene backdrop with its white sandy shores and clear ultramarine water. We love how the natural tones of the landscape complement the soft white hues of the bride and groom’s outfits!

Our Couple’s Story

David is originally from the Philadelphia area, and Stefany is from Long Island, New York. Seventeen years ago, David moved across the country to San Diego. Then ten years later, Stefany relocated to America’s Finest City as well. In 2015, the two met on a popular online dating site where sparks flew. On July 2, 2021, they got engaged at Ruth’s Chris Steak House! 

Now, they have an orange pet cat, Smoochy, who is their alpha and omega! To them, Smoochy represents all the good things in the world. We wish Smoochy was at your beach wedding in Oahu because we’re positive he would’ve been the cutest cat we’ve ever seen!

This sunset is magnificent because of the pastel rainbow painting the sky behind the silky clouds. Above all, one of our favorite things is how the muted colors enhance the striking scenery of the beach. Since the hues from the landscape are deep, they are more dramatic against the delicate sunset’s light shades.

It’s never easy to capture so many gorgeous elements but this photo, shot by Karma Hill Photography, does it effortlessly! They caught the love between our newlyweds and the beauty of Oahu exquisitely.

Congratulations, Stefany and David! We wish you both a marriage full of love, adventures, and fun memories! Lastly, Thank you for letting us be part of your special day.

We all looked forward to Samantha & Arron’s Hawaii Destination Wedding for a long time. After postponing from spring 2020, the sweet couple was so patient as they waited for the right time to say “I Do.” The day finally came, and it was an absolute dream! Surrounded by a small group of loved ones, Samantha & Arron wed under swaying palm trees, just steps away from the ocean. Check out some of their photos!

Paradise Cove Luau: A Hawaii Destination Wedding Venue

When Samantha & Arron decided to have their wedding in Oahu, they needed the perfect location! We helped them select Paradise Cove Luau in Ko Olina. In the evening, this is home to a vibrant and exciting luau, but during the day we’re able to use the space for wedding ceremonies!

Their ocean-side lawn is close enough to the beach that the newlyweds could get great photos with their toes in the sand while still having the ceremony in a more quiet area. So they got the best of both worlds for their Hawaii Destination Wedding. The tropical green ceremony site was the perfect fit for the lovely and laid-back pair, and we love how their photos turned out!

A Growing Family

Samantha & Arron were work friends who fell in love! Arron proposed on Christmas Day, and then it was time to start planning a wedding. Both of them had been to Oahu before and love Hawaii, so a Hawaii destination wedding seemed like the perfect choice!

While we didn’t get to meet Samantha & Arron as soon as we hoped, we had even more to celebrate once the wedding day finally arrived! Their sweet son Kristof is cuter than ever, and he’s going to be a big brother soon! Samantha was a glowing hapai bride, and Arron is such a joyful dad. We can’t wait to see their family grow!

Picture-Perfect Memories

After the ceremony, it was time to get some portraits with the beautiful couple! Not only is it a chance to get some awesome pictures, but it’s also a chance for the newlyweds to slow down and and get some quiet time together before rejoining their guests.

The Karma Hill Photography team knows how to capture amazing Hawaii Destination Wedding photography! Of course, Samantha & Arron are so photogenic that they were bound to get amazing portraits no matter what. But we especially love how their photos capture their amazing chemistry and the breathtaking scenery all in one!

Congratulations, Samantha & Arron! We loved working with you and hope to see you in Hawaii again soon!

Last week, Kara and Travis chose to elope in Oahu on the beautiful shore of Kualoa Beach. With only a few guests but plenty of love to go around, this was a simple yet elegant wedding filled with tropical beauty. 

Elope in Oahu

Kara and Travis chose to elope in Oahu because it was a “dream.” Neither of them had ever visited Hawaii, and who doesn’t want to say “I do” on our spectacular shores! Kara and Travis’ ceremony was broadcasted back home with our “Virtually There Package.” So although the guest count was small, Kara and Travis were able to share their beautiful elopement with friends and family back home. It was truly the best of both worlds! 

Our Couple’s Story

Kara and Travis met while they were young. Kara was best friends with Travis’ sister, but they didn’t see each other very often. Travis and Kara went their separate ways until one special day when Kara’s cousin mentioned that Travis worked with her. Kara said, “Give him my number” and was surprised when he called! They hit it off right away and knew they were meant to be! 

Together, Travis and Kara form a blended family with four beautiful children and love to spend time with family, try new restaurants, and travel to new places–like Oahu! Keep scrolling for more of our amazing couple and gorgeous photography as they elope in Oahu!

Congratulations, Kara and Travis! It was a joy helping you bring your dream into reality! We wish you all the very best in the future!

Claire and Matt were wed on the shore of Kualoa Ranch’s Secret Island with an Oahu destination wedding that was both relaxing and beautiful. With Chinaman’s Hat on the horizon and framed by a burgundy arch, it was a magical day with a couple in love. 

The Oahu Destination Wedding

Rose petals framed the aisle for Claire and Matt’s Oahu destination wedding as their guests watched them tie their lives together. Holding a tropical elegance bouquet in blue, Claire looked stunning in a traditional gown and the radiant smile of a bride in love. Matt was sporting his unique style in a checkered jacket and a patterned fuschia tie.  When the moment came for our couple to clasp hands, the joy was tangible. Claire and Matt were so excited to tie their lives together.

Following the ceremony, the talented Karma Hill Photography team took Claire and Matt aside to capture gorgeous photos of their first few minutes as husband and wife. We were all about their sweet expressions! Once it was time to return, our couple sailed back to the dock on a traditional Hawaiian fishing boat. It was an incredible day!

Congratulations, Claire and Matt! Thank you for sharing your big day with us! It was our pleasure to coordinate your Oahu destination wedding!

DeAnn and Brad had planned a large wedding but had to cancel due to the pandemic. So it just made sense to reschedule a relaxed Oahu wedding in July while visiting Brad’s family on the island. And it turned out to be more than simply relaxing! The day was vibrant and filled with love, love, love. 

The Oahu Wedding

Set on the shore of Waiʻalae Beach Park with leggy palms and lush greenery, DeAnn and Brad’s growing children and family watched on as our couple tied their lives together. Wearing a short and spunky off-white gown with a demi-train, DeAnn looks right at home against the beautiful scenery. We love Brad’s sophisticated laidback look–but most of all, we love those sweet smiles they’re both wearing! 

Our Couple’s Story

DeAnn and Brad each have two wonderful children and are excited to start their lives as a blended family. Brad grew up on Oahu and DeAnn feels the North Shore is the best place in the world. So saying their “I do’s” on the island was more than a beautiful destination, it was coming home. 

Our couple met on Match, dated for four years, and got engaged at Cannon Beach in Oregon. Together they enjoy cycling, hiking, Korean dramas on Netflix, and spending time together. Keep scrolling for more of their beautiful day! 

Mahalo nui loa, DeAnn and Brad, for choosing us to coordinate your wedding. We wish you only the very best in the years ahead!

Samra and Chris chose to elope in Oahu after COVID made other options difficult, and it turns out, it wasn’t simply the safest option, it was the best option. Paradise Cove Beach set the stage, decorating for the ceremony with honey lighting and dazzling seascapes. Tropical palms, white sands, and a handful of loved ones put the final touches on a wedding day that dreams are made of. 

Our Couple’s Story

Samra works in higher education, helping students with disabilities and chronic health conditions get accommodations for their courses, and Chris just recently finished a Ph.D. in Geology (specifically paleontology) and is looking for a professor position. Together they love to travel and adore all things Disney. It comes as no surprise that they both love reading and watching movies. Chris even owns over 1300 movies! They have one furbaby, a black cat named Preacher, who thinks he’s the king of the house. 

Samra and Chris have such a sweet love story, that we felt it was best to let them tell it themselves. Be prepared for romance overload! 

How they met (the bride’s perspective)

“On my 26th birthday, I went out to celebrate with some of my friends.  One by one, the crowd began to thin, and eventually, the remaining crew ended up at the 90s bar in Athens, Georgia.  As my friends and I people-watched and danced to one-too-many Whitney Houston songs, I noticed a cute guy wearing a Carolina hat.  Intrigued by his Carolina drawl and his knowledge of every Nelly song in existence, I knew I had to strike up a conversation and some awkward dance moves.  We spent the next three hours chatting away, and so I eagerly said yes when he asked if he could take me on a “real date” at Longhorn.  We’ve been inseparable ever since.”

How they got engaged (Groom’s perspective)

“I knew pretty early into dating Samra that I wanted to ask her to marry me.  When Samra was invited to present at a student affairs conference in Los Angeles, she invited me to join her and suggested that we take a side trip afterward to Disneyland.  Since we both love Disney, this seemed like the perfect place to propose. I asked Samra’s dad for her hand when I joined Samra and her family for the first part of the Christmas holidays. On our first night in Oxford, I gave Samra her Christmas present early and accidentally made her parents think that I was proposing right then without having asked them–it was a pair of earrings in a ring-sized box.”

How they got engaged (Groom’s perspective)

“Samra’s parents gasped and I immediately had to exclaim,  “It’s not what you think it is. Not yet, anyway.” Given that, I didn’t think that I would ever get a chance to ask Matt without Samra around, but thankfully, Samra and her mom decided to do some Christmas shopping and left us in the car.  Honestly, I don’t remember much of what either of us said, because I was nervous and it was kind of a blur, but I do remember a yes somewhere in there. Three months later, on our final night in Disneyland, Samra and I had a romantic dinner at the Blue Bayou restaurant in Disneyland.”

How they got engaged (Groom’s perspective)

“Nestled on the water with boats passing by, we enjoyed steak and lobster, and then Disney cast members brought a dessert that had “Will you marry me?” written on the plate in chocolate.  It took Samra a few seconds to register what was happening, and when she looked up, she saw that I was on one knee.  Afterward, the staff at Blue Bayou brought a bottle of sparkling juice and gave us front-row seats to the Fantasmic lights and fireworks show.  Samra swears that’s the first and only time in her life that she’s been rendered speechless.”

Judging by these spectacular photos, we’re pretty sure it was Chris who was speechless on their wedding day. How gorgeous is this bride?!

Congratulations, Samra and Chris! It was a joy helping you elope in Oahu with your loved ones present. We wish you all the romance and Disney-magic in the years ahead!

And they lived happily every after.

The island sun draped Paradise Cove Beach with vibrant colors and warmth during Natalya and Pavel’s Oahu Beach Elopement. Our couple dreamed their wedding day would be tropical with all the sunny goodness they’d come to love in Hawaii. The reality? Enough sunshine and love to last an eternity! 

The Maui Beach Elopement

Situated on the windward side of Oahu, Paradise Cove Beach faces the western horizon, which means bursting sunsets and vibrant mornings. Natalya and Pavel said their “I do’s” in the early hours with their three daughters and Pavel’s brother cheering them on.

The sound of the churning sea and the reverberating call of the conch shell was the only background music needed for this airy and natural Oahu Beach Elopement. 

Our Couple’s Story

Natalya is a registered nurse who works at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland WA in the Surgical department, and Pavel works as a software engineer in Seattle. Together, they’re a mixed family with three brilliant and beautiful daughters who Natalya and Pavel were thrilled to have in attendance at their Oahu Beach Elopement.

During their free time, our couple enjoys hanging out as a family, watching Formula 1, and sharing fun stories about their day. Clearly. this crew loves to be together, just look at that sweet group hug!

Natalya and Pavel have been friends for a long time, and their romance happened naturally at its own pace. And so did their wedding! After discussing the Big Day for quite some time, Natalya and Pavel realized they were ready, and they knew the magic place to say “I do.” Hawaii.

They told the kids their plan but made it clear that this time it was more than a vacation. This time there would be a wedding! Keep scrolling for more of this beautiful couple and their sweet Oahu Beach Elopement. 

Mahalo nui loa, Natalya and Pavel, for trusting us with your Oahu Beach Elopement. It was a beautiful day, and we loved meeting you and your incredible family. We wish you all the love and joy in the years ahead!

It’s nearly summertime and all of us at Simple Oahu Wedding are feeling the sun and dreaming of Hawaii wedding bouquets! We see a lot of beauties. With choices ranging from our gorgeous bouquet options to one-of-a-kind creations custom made for you, our talented friends at Sweet Blossoms Hawaii have the perfect arrangement to make your floral dreams bloom into reality! 

Since we’re at the tail end of May, we thought it was the perfect time to celebrate the many gorgeous bouquets of our Oahu brides. After all, “May Day” is one of our favorite Hawaiian holidays! On the first of the month, kiddos and adults alike sport their best aloha gear to celebrate Hawaiian traditions like lie making and hula — and instead of ribbons or balloons, the room decor is simply blooms of endless florals! It might be a little late in the month, but we wanted to share the spirit of May Day with all of you to bring some aloha to wherever you are in the world! 

We’ve sorted these 40 Hawaii wedding bouquets from real Oahu brides into 3 categories: Spring & Pastel, Tropical & Vibrant, and Leafy & Green. Of course, we’ve included our custom bouquets as well as our 4 stunning bridal bouquet options: Our Rustic Hawaiian, Tropical Elegance, Boho Dream, and White Wedding Bouquets. We’ll cycle through all of them, so come ‘petal’ along with us! 

Spring & Pastel

The beauty of these Hawaii wedding bouquets is as subtle and sweet as their enchanting fragrance. From lilac and baby-soft yellow to hues of popping pink, we love the spring feeling of these flower arrangements!

This collection features Oahu wedding floral from our bridal bouquet selection, including custom arrangements and our Boho Dream, White Wedding, and Tropical Elegance bouquets. Keep swiping for a burst of sweetness!

Tropical & Vibrant

For the bride who can’t get enough of our Hawaiian sunsets, the tropical & vibrant style is total eye-candy! With king proteas, ginger, and anthurium sitting front and center, these bouquets bring a touch of the Aloha spirit to your Big Day.

Several of the following bouquets were custom made to meet the bride’s requests, but most are our Rustic Hawaiian Bouquet, one of four gorgeously designed floral options available in our wedding packages. With fiery orange, vivid reds, and just the right amount of mellow yellow and baby pink, this bouquet style is like holding a mini sunset between your hands!

Leafy & Green

Goddess green is one of the biggest trends in Hawaii wedding bouquets — with ferns, succulents, eucalyptus, and lush tropical leaves to choose from, this style is anything but boring!

You can custom create a bouquet and fill it to your heart’s content with endless greenery, or our Boho Dream and White Wedding bouquets might have the simple splash of emerald you’re looking for!

With our beautiful Oahu wedding packages, you can custom create your own Hawaii wedding bouquet or simply select one of our stunning floral options to make an unforgettable impression. We’re happy to work with you to make all of your wedding dreams come true! Contact us today to learn more.
