A chill & magical Hawaiian wedding with rainbows, surfboards, and leis #Real Weddings: Western US#beach#hawaii#pregnant bride#short dress July 2 2018 | Catherine Clark bijouxandbits Photos by: Mariah Milan Photos by Mariah Milan Elena and Andrei’s wedding was planned in only a of couple weeks. They were traveling to Maui with four of their best friends and going to become parents in a few months, so they figured why not get hitched while on vacation? And this magical Hawaiian wedding was created. Andrei wore shorts and Elena had a boho dress that could easily be worn again. They accessorized with TOMS that Elena embroidered with Mr. and Mrs. and she rockedan edgy hairstyle that showed off her undercut. The officiant serenaded them accompanied by a ukulele, Elena carried a bouquet of tropical blooms, and their ceremony spot was marked by flowers creating a heart shape in the sand. They included Hawaiian traditions such as the conch shell blowing and lei exchange. Best part? When Elena walked in to, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, there was an actual rainbow right above them. Andrei is a long boarder and his only wedding request was to have a surfboard for some wedding photos. Luckily, the wedding planner is also a surfer and brought three surfboards for them to use. Let's see the whole surfer vibe wedding… Vendors Photography: Mariah Milan • Wedding Coordinator: Maile Maui Weddings • Hair and Makeup: I Am Ui Beauty • Officiant and Musician: Charles Nahale • Florist: In Bloom Floral and Events • First Look Location: Honolua Forest • Ceremony Location: Ironwoods Beach Gallery This slideshow requires JavaScript.
