Katelyn & Lance were such a joy to work with! Their love began long after their first meeting but once they knew, they knew!! They work for the same large company and met a few years prior to them dating during a work event. They had no idea at the time that their paths would cross again at another work event and the stars would align, but they did! Today, they celebrate the love that grew with a Maui beach wedding!

Lance has 3 kids that unfortunately couldn’t make it to their Maui wedding due to Covid, but they are thrilled with their “bonus Mom” Katelyn! This sweet couple has a wonderful future ahead of them and we are just honored to be a part of their story!

Lance’s parents come to Maui for a few weeks out of every year and they were blessed to be able to join them for their ceremony. The couple brought their own family officiant and Lance’s dad also said a few words during their very personal ceremony.

Lance proposed to his beautiful bride at a beautiful indoor pool at a hotel in Virginia Beach. He talked with security who allowed him to wait until the pool was closed to get some privacy and he popped the question! Love it!!

Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to plan your wedding in Maui Katelyn & Lance! Your wedding turned out beautiful and went so smoothly. We hope you had the amazing Maui wedding day you had dreamt of!

This right here is what love is all about!! Love finds its way into our lives in many different forms. For Megan & Kat it found its way within each other! They had been friends for some time before they began their relationship. Their bond grew and blossomed and they have been inseparable ever since. We are so grateful that through their journey, they found their way to us for an intimate Maui elopement.

Megan & Kat have a fur baby named Macy they absolutely adore!! It’s hard when your little fur baby can’t be here on your wedding day, but we do offer photoshopping services to give you a pic with your baby!! It may not look like they were actually there on the beach with you but it is a fun way to include them in the picture!

We adore the way the tropical flowers add a pop of color to Megan and Kat’s all white wedding attire.

When asked Megan & Kat what they are most looking forward to about being married they immediately said “starting and raising a family together.” We are looking forward to that too! Hopefully, you’ll bring that family back here to the spot you were wed for some Maui family portraits!! Our sister company Karma Hill Photography offers a return client discount for all our wedding clients, hint hint 😉

Mahalo Megan & Kat for including us in your Maui elopement! You were such a joy to meet and we look forward to meeting the whole in the years to come.

Robin & Chris’ story began 5 years ago before their gorgeous Maui beach elopement! Chris was driving through Colorado on his way home to Utah when he decided to hop on Tinder and start swiping! Robin happened to be on Tinder as well and they both swiped right! They didn’t actually meet that day but it did connect them to begin chatting! They talked for about 3 months before Chris made the drive back to Colorado to meet Robin. They met for a breakfast date, which turned into an all-day date, and Chris never left! Just kidding! He left that day, but it wasn’t long before he headed back down to Colorado permanently. The long-distance thing just wasn’t for them! They just knew their happily every after was together in Colorado.

We love sweet love stories like Robin & Chris’. It warms our hearts to know that we are a part of that journey now. A Maui beach elopement was the perfect setting for these two. They were able to focus on each other, the love they share, the life they are building; and who wouldn’t want to do that with their toes in the sand? Sounds pretty perfect to us!

Ironwoods Beach was quiet and serene this particular evening. There was a light layer of clouds that ended up drizzling on us during the ceremony. Afterward the ceremony the rain lightened and we saw a little rainbow making its presence. We did catch a little more rain while we were shooting on the cliffs but you know what they say about rain on your wedding day… it’s definitely good luck!!

Thank you so much Robin and Chris for choosing us to coordinate your Maui beach elopement! We wish you many more years of love and happiness!

Katie & Marcus are such a determined pair!! Nothing was going to get in the way of their love!! Planning their glamorous Maui beach wedding with us was their SEVENTH attempt at getting married in 2020! 6 other attempts at planning their wedding before lucky number 7!! Nothing was going to stop this amazing couple from their “I do” moment.

Just to highlight a few, their dream wedding was originally planned to happen in England but after the shutdown in England they decided to plan everything and move forward with having a wedding at home in California. They had the date set and deposits down for all their vendors… and then… California shut down again and had to cancel all of their wedding plans! Then we came in the picture to help them plan the most beautiful and easy-going Maui wedding they could’ve imagined. They were over the moon to have their wedding happen just before the year’s end and we feel the same way!

Katie was absolutely gorgeous and glowing on her wedding day with the most beautiful earrings and hairpiece accents to tie in all the details of her beautiful wedding gown. Spontaneously they decided to add some extra time at their hotel because when they arrived they saw how beautiful the grounds were at the Westin.

We had so much fun exploring the grounds and taking photos with the flamingos in the background.

At the very end, the Karma Hill Photography Team got really creative and captured a breathtaking portrait of them behind the waterfall at the Westin with some flash photography! These shots are epic!! We had so many varieties of backdrops and beautiful lighting we know that Katie and Marcus will absolutely love their photos we got during their special day.

Katie and Marcus had the most spectacular moon to close out their glamorous Maui beach wedding! We were able to capture it directly behind them on the cliffs at Ironwoods. Now that doesn’t happen every day!

Thank you so much Katie & Marcus for letting us be a part of your Maui beach wedding. We’d say that all the hurdles you had to jump through were just to ensure the perfect wedding day for you!!

This Pennsylvania couple is as sweet as they come! Not only were they a dream to work with while planning their beach elopement in Maui, but they also thoughtfully brought chocolate bars from their home state for their vendor team. Now that’s next-level sweetness!

Jennifer and Michael chose a morning ceremony for their Maui elopement ceremony. We love this option as it is typically cooler, the beaches are far less busy and then you have the whole day to enjoy together as a married couple! Elopements are all about breaking the rules and doing whatever you want, who says you have to go to dinner after your ceremony? Maybe a morning snorkel would be even more special!

Just look at how giddy these two are to get married, we just adore their chemistry.

Jennifer looked stunning in her Adrianna Papell illusion back dress from Madame Bridal in Boynton Beach Florida

Another great thing about an elopement? You can splash and have fun without worrying about heading to your reception dripping wet. We love that these two didn’t mind letting loose a bit and having fun on the beach. Plus, it’s refreshing after being in the sun! 🙂

Jennifer and Michael, Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding as your wedding team! We were honored to be a part of your day. We hope to see you back in Maui in the future!!

Shelby and William met the old fashion way at a bar in Seattle, where they both currently live. Shelby was celebrating a win with friends after a football game when William caught her eye. They hit it off right away and the rest is history. Today we celebrate their wedding in Maui!

When Shelby & William decided on a Maui vacation they did not share with their families that they would be also getting married. The true definition of a Maui elopement! They’ve been engaged for a few years now though so there may have been some suspicions amongst their crew. Anyhow, we love the element of surprise and surely their friends and family are excited to for them as they embark on this new adventure.

Small beach elopements don’t have to go without the traditional elements like a toast and cake cutting! The yummy cake and Martinelli’s sparkling cider are the perfect addition to your beach wedding in Maui.

Mahalo Shelby & William for choosing us as your Maui elopement coordinator! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Ann & Donny first met at the beach in San Diego, both avid surfers and lovers of the ocean. They knew without a doubt that they needed to keep their love for the ocean as part of their wedding and chose to have a beach wedding in Maui!

We were excited to see that they brought their parents along and they were included in the ceremony with a sweet lei exchange. Reverend Peter officiated their heartfelt ceremony fronting the beautiful Hawaiian waters. After their ceremony, we enjoyed spending time with Ann & Donny and getting to know their fun personalities!

Their first kiss as man and wife went off in dramatic fashion with Reverend Peter blowing the conch shell to seal the ceremony.

We loved the addition of the cake and toast to Ann & Donny’s Maui beach wedding. It really added that special something; making the ceremony just that much more memorable for the two of them.

Immediately following the ceremony Ann asked if she could take a minute to go down to the water to get her feet wet and connect with the ocean. Without hesitation, Donny followed his new wife down to the water so they could take a moment to splash around together. The moment showed how sweet and playful their relationship is. “Toes in the sand, ring on your hand”.

Ann adorned the perfect dress for a beach wedding in Maui. The light cream color went perfectly with the natural surroundings while it light flowy look was was perfect for the temperature.

Mahalo Ann & Donny for choosing Simple Maui Wedding and letting us be a part of your special day.

Molly & Chris are a sweet couple from Illinois that decided on a wedding in Maui! Like most couples who marry here, the beach is the best option for an intimate ceremony. The beautiful ocean and the long white sandy beaches are one of a kind here in Maui.

Molly & Chris had everything planned for a Lahaina Shores beach ceremony. It was super convenient and beautiful; they were looking forward to sharing their vows there. Then mother nature brought the high tide and you could barely see the beach they had a decision to make. Get married with their toes in the water, instead of the sand, or change locations to DT Fleming? They chose DT Fleming and we think it was a perfect choice. Check out the pictures below to see all the gorgeousness that seemed meant to be!

The beach was totally empty except for some firemen doing a beach training session along the shore. They stopped their training and cheered for Molly & Chris as they were pronounced husband and wife! Well played Maui Fire Department! It was almost as if we planned for you to be there!

Taking a walk on the beach, being present in the moment is a must after their stunning ceremony! DT Fleming is such a gorgeous location for a wedding in Hawaii. The gorgeous white sand and rock outcroppings provide a gorgeous back for the perfect ceremony photos.

Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding Molly & Chris! We wish you two many years of love and happiness!!

From the top of the mountain all the way down to the ocean, this sweet couple share their love for each other. Taylor & Mason were engaged at the top of Haleakala for sunrise and they decided to come full circle all the way to the ocean for their Maui beach wedding. We couldn’t agree more, this is the perfect setting for such a lovely couple to say “I Do”!

Ironwoods Beach sits on the west shore of Maui in Kapalua. The long white sand beach is adorned with rocks and cliffs on both sides. It’s one of our absolute favorite spots because of the unmatched beauty it has to offer. Taylor & Mason were blessed with gorgeous weather this particular day, waves crashing behind them, and they shared in a moment of bliss as they said “I do!”

Reverend Kuya’s heartfelt ceremony was beautiful, blessing Taylor & Mason’s union while embracing Hawaiian culture.

Taylor looked simply stunning and chose the perfect Maui beach wedding dress for the occasion. We loved the lacy top and the perfect length of her wedding dress.

Taylor’s beach wedding bouquet was gorgeous with a king Protea as the centerpiece of this artful creation.

Thank you Taylor & Mason for sharing your special day with us! We hope that you two enjoyed everything about your Maui beach wedding!

Saying “I do” in a Maui wedding dress under the Hawaiian sun is all the magic a girl could wish for! But pinch yourself … because this is your reality! 

The big question has been popped. The location has been set…

And now you’re left wondering… what’s a girl to wear? Will a sweetheart neckline look okay on a rustic locale? Can the dress be short? Will a streamer or a train work on a sandy shore? 

Yes to all of that!

Simple Maui Wedding has coordinated thousands of real Hawaiʻi ceremonies, and with help from our Maui wedding photographers, we’ve hand-selected our favorite cuts and drapes that are sure to complement any bride and any Maui venue. From jewel-encrusted gowns to silken simplicity, we’ve got your inspiration covered!

So grab a coconut water and scroll along with us as we detail our top 5 Maui wedding dress styles:

Maui Beach Wedding Dress Style #1: Boho-Magic

The truth is, it doesn’t really matter what you wear on your special day as long as you and your partner rejoice in your union. It’s your relationship that comes first, and your wedding dress is truly just another outfit.

But that said, what bride doesn’t want to feel gorgeous in an enchanting gown?!

We’ve titled this style “Boho-Magic” but it’s often referred to as Boho-Chic. Perfect for the artistic bride with a carefree spirit, this style blends in seamlessly with the tropical locales of Maui beaches. Boho-Chic showcases its gypsy origins with Indian-inspired floaty skirts, embroidery work, delicate beading, geometric lace patterns, and Roman-style drapery.

This versatile style is perfect for brides with a whimsical and spontaneous side but who still long for the historical beauty of a classic.

While you’re dreaming about your own Maui wedding dress, be sure to read these four tips:

Maui Beach Wedding Dress Style #2: Clean & Classic

With timeless grace and an elegant silhouette, this Maui wedding dress never goes out of style.

V-neck or sweetheart, princess seam or mermaid cut, it’s the simplicity of these gowns that make them stunning. Nothing fussy or overly complicated, just smooth lines and casual draping. The “Clean & Classic” style highlights the bride’s natural beauty and stands out against the rustic oceanfront.

This style is perfectly suited for the regal bride who balances princess candor with modern simplicity. Need proof? Keep scrolling!

Maui Beach Wedding Dress Style #3: Lace Princess

Perhaps the most popular dress style for a Maui wedding, lace gowns perfectly marry the magic of childhood with luxurious high-end designs. The intricate weavings call back to the “original” white wedding dress of Queen Victoria in the mid-17th century.

That’s why we’ve dubbed this third style “Lace Princess.” While it may resemble “Boho-Magic” at first glance, these designs draw inspiration from European lacework with a focus on finely thatched florals and elegant patterns instead of the bold geometrics associated with Bohemian styles.

This bridal dress style is perfect for fairytale weddings with traditional details.

Keep scrolling to indulge in all the royal luxury!

Maui Beach Wedding Dress Style #4: Tidal Angel

We’ve named this style “Tidal Angel” because it’s all about the way a gown shimmers and moves.

From dense ruffles to weightless chiffon, a Maui bridal dress that ripples like the tide is a sight to behold! And with accents of intricate lace or droplets of gemstones, these gowns not only reflect the beauty of the bride but the spirit of the sea.

Just add the tropical breeze and brilliant Hawaiian sun, and this style practically comes alive! This dress trend is best suited for the playful and spirited bride who loves a drop (or tidal wave) of extravagance.

Planning your own Hawaii wedding? Our Maui wedding coordinators and wedding planners on Oahu are here to help!

Maui Beach Wedding Dress Style #5: The Rule-Bender

Who says a wedding dress has to be white? Or long? Or a dress, for that matter? Even though we’ve titled this style “The Rule-Bender” there really are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to wedding dress varieties. If your gown fills you with joy, your radiance will outshine even the most shimmery of conventional fabrics! 

So throw caution to the tropical breeze and be bold, be playful, and most importantly, be yourself. You’re in Hawaii… you’re getting married to the person of your dreams… what better time to make a statement and have fun! 

We’ve sorted this style into 3 “Rule-Bending” cornerstones: Patters, Hems, and Hues. Tryout patterns that show off your charm, shorten those hems so you can kick up the sand, or dip yourself in hues that will make the traditional white dress blush.

Patterns

We’re obsessed with the delicate and girlish charm of these printed and embroidered patterns. What a way to embody your whimsical side!

Hems

You’ll be kicking up sand on your Special Day, so don’t be afraid to raise that hem and go barefoot to show off your spunk! Check out these adorable rule-benders!

Hues

If you love the rule-bender style as much as we do, then you’re sure to fall in love with these colorful brides! A surprising hue makes an impression while showcasing your unique personality!

---

Whether you decide to have your gown custom-designed or choose to alter a family heirloom, as long as you love your wedding dress, it’s sure to make a splash on every Maui beach wedding location!

The hardest search is over… you’ve already found “The One”! And your dream gown is sure to be next… Happy dress hunting!

Sometimes Love is jubilant, a dancing laugh made of sunlight and whispered wishes. Other times, Love is quiet, a solid rock to hold onto as you drift in the sea, a warm hand to grasp when yours are cold.

Whitney & Oscar’s Maui wedding was nothing how they’d envisioned getting married in paradise would be like… With the coronavirus encroaching into the country, half of their guests needed to stay home, including Whitney’s Matron of Honor and Oscar’s family and parents. Then their rehearsal dinner was canceled… and then came the rain. But our bride and groom were gracious throughout it all, smiling and taking in every moment of their Special Day.

With their kindness and sweet moments of thankfulness, Whitney & Oscar showed us all that even in times like these, Love wins.

Emily, our onsite coordinator reflected on the day, saying: “The sun never came out to shine on their wedding, but there was something even brighter shining on them – their love for each other, the love from their family, and the blessings they received for their marriage.”

During this cloud, there’s been a silver lining: all over the world, people are showing kindness, people are coming together to protect their neighbors and their communities. And although Karma Hill Photography had offered a couple’s portrait session once the weather cleared up, our bride and groom cared more about the health and safety of the crew than capturing their dream photo… all they wanted was for the photographer to stay home, to stay safe, and to stay healthy.

Whitney & Oscar may not have had the sun-filled Maui wedding they’d always dreamed of… but looking over these images, it’s clear that their wedding was the unforeseen but beautiful beginning of a dream marriage, a marriage rooted in truth and unconditional love.

As our bride puts it: “Of course it wasn’t the perfect day you dream of, but we made do with what we had, and it was wonderful. I am proud to be Mrs. Gutierrez, and these events have shown me just what a strong, incredible man I have…”

Mahalo nui loa, Whitney & Oscar, for sharing your incredibly lovely ceremony with us. We hope you return to capture your anniversary portraits underneath the Maui sun… But until then, we send you our fondest Aloha and wish you only the best in the years ahead…
