Denby & Henni {Waialua, Hawaii}

posted August 17, 2012 in Weddings

Nestled between the foothills and shores of Mokuleia, Denby & Henni tied the knot surrounded by family and friends from France to Palau at Dillingham Ranch in the North Shore of O’ahu. Shaved Ice, banyan trees, and white crown flower leis hinted at the amazing wedding details in Hawaii.

Often in the wedding industry, everyone knows everyone. And in Hawaii, it’s not much different, which made this extra wedding special on a personal level for me. I’m honored to work with Kevin Omura at Kuleana Design who ensures everything comes together seamlessly, beautiful. Kevin coordinated our wedding, also on Oahu, as Denby made some big efforts on our big day. Returning creative favors are always a joy!

In addition, family participated as VIP volunteers, pitching in with friendly spirits to make everything from Denby’s dress to spreading homemade luminaries during the evening. Efforts were fused together to form a terrific, hard working group in adoration of Denby and Henni. To see them sit down and enjoy the wedding was terrific and I simply can’t imagine a better creative environment!

I really loved every minute of sushi, leis, tie boutonnieres, and all.
