Kristen & Kevin are a laid back couple from the East coast! They decided on Maui beach elopement for their wedding. They knew Maui was the perfect combination of beautiful and adventurous and seemed perfect for a wedding/honeymoon combination. We couldn’t agree more and we are so happy they chose us to coordinate their Maui beach elopement!
On the day of the wedding, we encountered some rain at Ironwoods Beach, their original location choice. We could either get them married in the pouring rain, which really isn’t as bad as it sounds or chase the sunshine!! They chose sunshine.
In Hawaii you can have really bad weather at one spot and just 10 minutes down the road is a beautiful sunshiny day! That’s clear by the pictures below. You would never know that a storm loomed just a few miles away! Lahaina Shores beach turned out to be absolute perfection for their wedding day. Gorgeous blue sky, very little beachgoers, a stunning sunset, they couldn’t have asked for a better setting!
Kristen & Kevin met at a friends wedding. They had an instant connection and the rest is history. They are now 2 cats and a puppy connected and building a beautiful life together!
Kevin proposed to Kristen on a romantic trip to Savannah, Georgia for 4th of July last year. It’s clear that these two adore each other and have many more romantic trips ahead of them!
Congratulations on your Maui wedding Kristen & Kevin! Thank you for choosing us to be a part of it!

When Molly & Cody came to the harsh realization that a wedding back home with all of their family and friends couldn’t be possible for quite some time they decided on an elopement in Maui! They were going to be here for a vacation anyway so why not just seal the deal? We couldn’t agree more! There will be time for celebration with the whole gang in the years to come but don’t make love wait any longer!!
This sweet pair met back in college through mutual friends. They dated for about 6 years all the while knowing that they were each others forever! Cody proposed to Molly at a park in California that overlooked the ocean. It was intimate and romantic and Molly just knew she would be marrying the man of her dreams!
Reverend Kimo officiated their ceremony making them laugh and smile throughout. His ceremonies are so genuine and sweet but adding that moment of humor really makes them one of the best on Maui!
As Molly & Cody read their own personal vows to each other there wasn’t a dry eye on the beach.
Thank you so much Molly & Cody for choosing us for your Maui elopement. We enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you again in Maui soon!

Amanda & Eric had different wedding plans before Covid got in the way, but they made the most of it by eloping in beautiful Maui! They wore their traditional wedding outfits to their Maui beach elopement, looking classy and sheik. We just love their timeless style!
This beautiful couple was married on the shores of Ironwoods Beach, just the two of them. They still managed to share their special day with many friends and family near and far through a special video. Amanda & Eric chose a videography upgrade that allowed their ceremony to be uploaded for their family to watch within just a couple of hours. Although times prevent us from being with our loved ones, technology helps us find a way to share in those moments still.
Amanda was apprehensive about letting her train down at the beach, but we’re so glad she did because the affect of the train in the wind was absolutely beautiful.
These cliffside wedding photos were breathtaking and they captured the most beautiful sunset filled with pastel hues.
For dinner this sweet pair whisked each other off to Merriman’s. We’re sure their day was special from start to finish and were so happy they chose us to be a part of it!
Mahalo Amanda & Eric for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for your Maui Beach Elopement. We wish you two many years of love and happiness!

So many times in life we find ourselves putting everyone else first. As parents, you naturally put your wants and sometimes needs on the back burner and put your children first. That’s why this Elopement in Maui was so special for Jasmin & Fred!
This beautiful couple has 3 children, one with special needs, and their lives 100% revolve around them! To make sure this wedding really focused on one another they decided the ceremony was going to be just about the two of them! Intimate, small, and something they can look back on together and know just how special it was!
Jasmin & Fred met on Match.com. They dated for 3 years before they got engaged. Their love for each other, their patience and kindness for one another, has never wavered and it’s clear in the way that they look at each other. These two are a perfect pair!!
Jasmin said she was most looking forwards to the wide open landscape shots with Maui’s beauty as a backdrop. It was en epic day of gorgeousness and we’re happy we could deliver!

Morning weddings have truly been missed these past few months!! The calm serene setting, the bright blue skies, the happy faces, there’s really nothing like it! Daniela & Brent’s Maui beach elopement was nothing shy of all those things; calm and serene, bright and vibrant skies, and filled with happiness!
Brent is a police officer and Daniela works in the school system in Illinois. She’s also going to school for interior design. This sweet couple was so happy to get out of the 40-degree weather in Chicago and had plans of adventuring around the island hiking and trying new restaurants for their honeymoon. After their gorgeous Maui wedding, they were prepared to enjoy it all as a newlywed husband and wife.
We absolutely LOVE the color of Brent’s suit! Daniela & Brent wanted to stay away from the super popular navy color but still keeping it blue. This color was perfect; they liked it because it reminded them of the ocean and still remained unique. Apparently Reverend Kuya really liked the color as well because he showed up in the same color kihei! The color looked amazing set against the morning blue ocean and the hues of blue in the Puukukui mountain range. Well done team!
The beach was gorgeous this particular morning!! A few people walking here and there but we pretty much had it all to ourselves. We took full advantage walking up and down before dipping off into the shade for a few shots in the greenery.
Thank you so much Daniela & Brent for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to be a part of your Maui Elopement! We really enjoyed meeting you and look forward to seeing you back in Maui soon.

“You Are My Soulmate…” is the English translation of Eres Mi Alma Gemela! Olivia & Nick are just that, two souls that were meant to join as one and live the rest of their lives together! Before their Maui elopement, these two met 12 years ago in Spanish class and they have been inseparable ever since. They were partners then in Spanish class and they are partners now in Life! There will be no more cheating off Olivia’s Spanish tests, ok Nick?
Leading up to Their Elopement
This sweet pair waited anxiously for months leading up to their Maui Elopement, not just with excitement, but with nervousness! No one knew if Hawaii would open to visitors. Every inkling of hope was quickly washed away whenever the state government pushed back the opening date. It was heartbreaking for them and heartbreaking for us.
But at the very last minute, a glimmer of light…. Just 3 days before their Maui wedding, Hawaii’s Trans-Pacific Travel Program was launched. Olivia & Nick were able to test just before they came and with negative test results, able to skip quarantine and get hitched!! It worked out perfectly for Olivia & Nick and we are beyond excited to share how everything turned out.
The beach was extra busy on the day of their wedding, but it as if someone was saving the perfect spot for their ceremony in the corner, away from all the noise and people!
Thank you so much Olivia & Nick for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to coordinate your Maui elopement! You were an absolute pleasure to work with and we’re so honored to have met you! We can’t wait for you to return next year for your 1 year Anniversary!!

The anticipation was truly felt by all of us for Tricia & Billy’s Beach Wedding in Maui. They waited a lifetime for each other, and we waited 5 months since our last wedding! It’s been rough not having weddings in our life every single day. We’ve been looking forward to this gorgeous ceremony just as much as Tricia & Billy!
Tricia & Billy met 3 years ago when she decided to swipe Right on Tinder. Billy thought it was his dashing good looks but it was actually all because of his name. See, Tricia’s dog was named Billy, and as all dog owners know, they are one of the most special beings in your life. She felt it was meant to be!
It was a beautiful afternoon at Southside Beach. The warm sun with a light breeze offered the perfect setting for these two to share their vows with one another. Although they had planned for many family and friends (and their dogs) to be there on their wedding day, things didn’t work out quite as planned.
Quarantine orders for the guests coming from the mainland made it nearly impossible for loved ones to attend. Instead, this resilient couple brought Live Maui Webcasts along to film it for everyone watching from their homes in the mainland. This awful pandemic may have put up hurdles in our lives but Tricia & Billy weren’t going to let it get in the way of their love. In fact, it’s stronger than ever now as they embark on this new chapter as husband and wife.
Billy restored his blue Bronco all himself! It was the perfect prop for their wedding pictures. Billy planned a fun “honeymoon weekend” adventuring around West Maui in the Bronco before heading back to work on Monday.

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:
1. Consider the Location
Are you planning a beach or venue wedding?
While the same dress can look gorgeous at both locations, understanding the “feeling” of your selected locale is a great place to start when drawing inspiration.
Is it a historic Maui wedding venue like the Olowalu Plantation House? Then perhaps a dramatic bustle or layers of elegant draping will make it feel as if you’ve transcended through time. Or maybe you’ve decided to say “I do” on the world-famous shores of Wailea? If so, then a tiered or fishtail dress that ripples like the rolling sea might be the perfect fit.
Taking the location into consideration is a sure-fire way to help you select the best gown possible for your special day.
2. Think about the Time
The Season
While even the best meteorologists and weather apps can’t predict what Mother Nature will bring to your Special Day, knowing the wind and rain patterns of the season can help you get a vision of what to expect. Are sleeves a safe bet for that time of year? Or will strapless be more comfortable?
Although Hawaii isn’t nearly as susceptible to seasonal change as other locations, the time of year can bring subtle shifts in the weather and temperature as well as sunset and sunrise times.
But even if these differences are subtle, you can still indulge in a Hawaiian wedding that’s season-inspired! Who doesn’t love the dusky tones of a Fall wedding or the fresh blooms of a springtime affair? Just like the decor, your gown can evolve with the season. Try delicate pleats in Spring and a statement flounce for the Fall. Slip into an empire waist for the Summer or a chapel-length veil for the Winter.
Don’t hold back when it comes to making a dramatic statement with your gown!
The Time of Day
Solidifying the hour of the day will also help you prepare. Are you planning a morning or evening wedding? Both options are stunning times for saying “I do” in Hawaii, but each can give you drastically different backdrops. Do you need a dress that will embody the light and airy feel of the glittering morning ocean? Or do you need a gown that will pop against a firey Hawaiian sunset? Having a sense of time and temperature will help you narrow down your search.
3. Don’t Underestimate the Fabric
Not taking the flow of the fabric into consideration can result in missed opportunities during the photoshoot.
A long, airy gown will almost become one with the breeze and cast a jaw-dropping silhouette against the tropical horizon. But while the weightlessness of this style allows it to flutter like angel wings, it might also make it hard to manage in the Hawaiian wind.
There are pros and cons to every fabric choice. So carefully consider the drape and weight of your material in order to select a gown that not only looks and feels great but also performs well at your selected locale.
4. Incorporate Your Personality
While this may seem obvious, it’s endlessly important to take your own personality into account instead of rushing into the next bridal gown craze. What works for others might not work for you.
You are a radiant person, and you bring your own sense of style and charm to the occasion. That beauty within you has already captivated your partner, so let it captivate your guests!
Are you playful and outgoing? Then maybe some ruffles and bold colors will let your spunky self shine! Or maybe you’re more of a bookworm who loves fantasy? Then maybe it’s full lace sleeves that set your spirit aglow.
Your wedding photos will be treasured for a lifetime. Take this opportunity to capture your unique sense of style!
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!
Come see all the Maui wedding packages we have to offer!
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!

It was just the bride and groom for this simple yet elegant Maui Beach Elopement. On the white sands of Southside beach in Wailea, Anh & Josh said “I do” with the pulse of the ocean keeping tempo in the background.
With a romantic Boho inspired gown and a sleek traditional suit, not only is this couple dressed incredibly smart, but they’re book-smart as well! Anh and Josh met in college while pursuing their Doctor of Pharmacy degrees. And it seems that the prescription Fate wrote for them was only four letters long: love.
Together for six years, the couple took a special Thanksgiving trip to the breathtaking Sunset Cliffs in California. As they were overlooking the seascape and plunging cliff-lines, Josh asked Anh to be his wife.
And now, early in the new year, on the breezy Maui shoreline, and in front of an equally stunning seascape, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows before sharing their first kiss as husband and wife.
We love it when couples make use of the various scenery that grows close to the shoreline. And this couple longed for their Maui beach elopement photos to capture their love within the beautiful island landscapes that Southside beach has to offer.
From impish woodsy to a fiery sunset, we were ecstatic to help their portrait dreams come true!
Can we stress yet again how on-point Anh’s bridal style is? Her Boho-inspired gown blends tropical and romance in all the right ways, and when paired against her radiant beauty, this bride is truly showstopping…
And decked in midnight blue with leather Oxfords, Josh is pretty on-point as well!
Mahalo nui loa, Anh & Josh, for trusting us with your intimate Maui beach elopement. We wish you all the best in the years to come!

For this breathtaking Maui Elopement, Alice & Matthew said “I do” with the aqua glimmers and tropical greenery of Southside Beach setting the stage. Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, this was the couple’s first trip to Maui–and what a first it was!
Alice and Matthew embarked on their Hawaiian adventure with a trip to the Big Island. Famous for its lush rainforests, the Big Island receives upwards of 10 feet of rain a year … and this year was no exception. The couple had to extend their stay on the Big Island an additional 24 hours due to the weather and worried their Maui wedding would be greeted with a similar downpour … But their special day was graced with clear skies and enchanting panoramic views!
The tender love between this couple blew us away. From their soft and intimate gazes to the touching moment when Matthew delicately wiped tears from his bride’s cheek … we were absolutely enchanted by their love story.
In graceful simplicity, Alice kept her jewelry to a minimum, wearing only a golden statement necklace to highlight her natural beauty.
Matthew presented her with the stunning piece during their stay on the Big Island … and we think it’s perfectly suited for his bride. The sacred hihimanu (also known as Hawaiian ray) means “magnificent” or “elegant bird” and is used to describe a woman filled with grace and otherworldly beauty. And looking at these captures, it’s abundantly clear that Alice is its picture-perfect embodiment …
Alice and Matthew’s Special Day ended in an exquisite sunset of rose and plum. It’s said that purple symbolizes perfection … and looking at this beautiful couple, we’d have to agree.
Mahalo nui loa, Alice & Matthew for selecting us to help plan your Maui Elopement. We wish you many more perfect days in the years to come!

With their closest family in attendance and the rolling waves of Ironwoods setting the stage, Sharon & Michael’s Maui beach elopement was an event to remember! And, of course, the couple was sure to include their “best girl” in the ceremony.
As a specially trained guide dog, Nav can perform a variety of intricate tasks… including bearing the couple’s wedding rings! We always love when couples interweave personal touches within their ceremony. It’s a great way to celebrate unique lifestyles and add that extra “wow” element. And precious Nav (with a ring pouch attached to her collar) not only added that “wow” but also the “aww!”
Reverend Peter Dagupion officiated the wedding, enriching the affair with sacred Hawaiian ceremonial traditions. It’s hard to summarize the intensely moving experience of being enveloped in the rich, tonal vibrations of Hawaiian chants and the blowing of the pu (conch shell). What a suiting way to solidify such such a joyous union!
We adored how Sharon’s gown beautifully mirrored the splashes of the sea. With a flowing fit that waved in the breeze and a sprinkling of gems that glimmered in the light of the late afternoon, Sharon evoked visions of a water nymph adorned in the foam of the tide.
Later, the couple slipped away after the ceremony for some dramatic yet intimate couple’s portraits atop the cliffside of Ironwoods. Few beach wedding locations are as striking. With the roaring ocean and Lānaʻi fading into the background, these captures are absolutely unforgettable!
Mahalo nui loa, Sharon & Michael for choosing us to help you capture your gorgeous Maui beach elopement. We wish you all the best in the years to come!
