There was hardly a dry eye during Zoe & Emanuel’s tender wedding ceremony on Maui. This sweet couple met in high school and started dating within the first week of their freshman year–when you know, you know! And it was clear from the moment Zoe walked down the sand that these two were meant to be. Their special connection lit up the shore of Baldwin Beach that afternoon… Emanuel’s gratitude and pure happiness were impossible to miss!
This sweet couple has been to Maui three times in the past. The island is filled with special memories of Zoe’s late grandmother–and they feel her presence whenever they visit. That’s how they knew it was the perfect place to say “I do” because her spirit would be with them on their Special Day…


















Does his face say it all, or what?! Finally wedded to the love of his life, Emanuel cannot contain his pure joy! And we were ecstatic to be able to freeze this tender moment in time.







And is it any wonder why he’s so happy? Zoe’s bridal style is on-point. We love the mermaid fit of her lace gown and the bold tones of her vintage-era makeup! And the wild flora of her rustic Hawaiian bouquet and flower crown pair perfectly with her feminine beauty.









Thank you, Zoe & Emanuel, for trusting us with your beautiful wedding ceremony on Maui. We wish you all the happiness and laughter in the years ahead…

This Hawaii venue wedding at Gannon’s in Wailea was a celebration to remember! No lad or las could have been happier than Donelle & Steven on this special day. Bright and vivid, the weather showcased the tropics at its finest, warmth punctuated by a sweet ocean breeze. And in addition to the tang of the sea, rolling through the air that morning was the melodic sound of the highlands… because no true Scottman’s wedding would be complete without the unmistakable legato of the bagpipes!
Our couple’s love story began in a modern way–over the internet! And now our Canadian bride and Scottish groom have brought along their closest family and traveled to the middle of the Pacific Ocean to say “I do” on one of the most beautiful islands in the world! Keep scrolling for all of the magic (and kilts)!












Decked out in black and his family’s blue and red tartan, Steven was the epitome of a groom in love. And it was hard to look away from Donnelle’s simple yet sophisticated style. Reminiscent of old Gaelic ballads, her style perfectly complemented their unique love story.







Following the ceremony, we stepped down to the shore of Southside Beach to capture some intimate moments between the couple…
And what happens when a kilt, a lovely couple, and a Maui seaside all walk into a photo… SPECTACULAR images are captured!















Mahalo nui loa, Donnelle & Steven, for trusting us with your unforgettable Hawaii venue wedding. We wish you an abundance of love and music in the years ahead…

Maxine & Ryan’s destination wedding on Maui was elegant, simple, and intimate… not to mention spontaneous! Just three weeks before their Maui vacation, Maxine & Ryan decided to intertwine their special day into their Hawaii get-away! Free from the stress of planning the ceremony, and with the stately mountains and glistening seascape in the backdrop, our couple was able to just relax and enjoy the moment. And it was our pleasure to help give Maxine & Ryan the simple Maui wedding of their dreams!
Can we take a second to say how in awe we are over their Hollywood-worthy “meet-cute.” It’s almost as if it was written in the stars… or, rather, written in the blueprint. This fun-loving couple met after they built their houses… next door to each other! Talk about a romantic twist on the old saying, “Home is where the heart is.” Now, as a blended family, their house has never felt warmer. Just take a peek at all the heartwarming captures below!

As she made her entrance over the terrace of the Steeple House, Maxine’s father and son had the honor of walking her down the aisle. And Ryan watched on in awe, clearly ecstatic (and maybe even a little in disbelief) that this incredible woman was about to be his wife…













Following the tender ceremony, Maxine and Ryan shared their first dance under the gabled roof of the Steeple House…


And soon after, Dad had his chance to sway to-and-fro with his beautiful daughter on her wedding day…

Kristin & Andre’s vow renewal in Maui, Hawaii had us thinking about the saying, “Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.” And, boy, could we feel the wind and the love on this incredibly beautiful Maui day! Together for 17 years and framed by their 4 darling kids, Kristin & Andre recommitted to their union with a stress-free ceremony that put their love and their family at the forefront.
And considering how breezy and easygoing this entire crew was, it seems only fitting that the wind came out to say hello. The family was full of laughs and high spirits, and we were so impressed with how mature and insightful the kiddos are! Each young member even shared a few words during the renewal. Keep swiping for all the precious captures!






Following the wise words of Reverend Joe Miles, the children passed around a sheet of paper, and in turn, each read a heartful sentiment about their parents’ love. It was an unforgettable moment, and truly a testament to the strength of this family… not to mention precious beyond belief!

The charming Maui vow renewal of Debra & Brandon was all sunshine and smiles! Married for 13 years, this beautiful couple celebrated their relationship on the Maui coast with just family and their adorable little ones watching on.
The powder-soft sands of Southside beach set the stage for the quaint affair, and Reverend Richardo began the ceremony by trumpeting on the Hawaiian conch shell while the children delighted in the deep and awe-inspiring sound.



We adored capturing the sincere and endearing love shared between this couple! Together since they were sixteen, their affection stole the stage. Even in the little moments, Debra and Brandon were bubbling with smiles.
They were so excited to renew their vows, that it was almost as if they were getting married for the very first time!









And can we just pause a second to say how floored we were with this entire family’s sense of style? How on-point can one family be? Classic trousers and suspenders for the guys, a whimsical floral dress for sis, and a mid-drift revealing bohemian gown for mom. We are totally fawning!


Precious beyond belief, these two sibs were more than happy to strike some Maui beach wedding poses against the ocean backdrop. And boy did they bring it!




Speaking of kiddos, can a group shot get much cuter? Like mini-me’s of their parents, this entourage had all the glam and sweetness of the wedding party, only jam-packed into five little packages of joy!










And to cap it all off, the ceremony ended with a sunset of lavender blush…





Mahalo, Debra & Brandon, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your Maui vow renewal. Sending you our fondest Aloha for the years ahead…

If you’re planning on saying “I do” on a white sandy shore, you may feel like you’re swimming in a wave of beach wedding bouquet options — ranging from the classic nosegay of roses to the internet craze of hot-glued seashells — Finding the perfect wedding bouquet can seem like an endless pursuit …
… Luckily, we’re here to help! Having serviced over 1,800 Maui weddings, we at Simple Maui Wedding are happy to share some of our favorite wedding bouquets from real weddings. As you seek out the perfect floral masterpiece we promise to steer you far away from those seashell-and-glue atrocities (Although they were pretty popular a few years ago).

The succulent is quickly becoming the latest beach bouquet must-have. With its voluptuous leaves and striking appearance, it’s little wonder why … If you’re searching for a touch of untamed, rugged beauty, then look no further than the hearty succulent!
Available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, the succulent is positively otherworldly, evoking fantasies of galaxies far away and jungles lost in time.
Succulents grow on every continent except Antarctica. And although they’re popularly misclassified as a type of cacti, the terms are not interchangeable.
While most cacti are indeed succulents, a significant amount of succulent plants are unrelated to cacti. This means most succulents don’t have needles–which is good news for those just-manicured bridal hands!













With roots spreading across the Mediterranean and Asia, the peony is an exquisite Eastern beauty. Because their peak season is in May, peonies are perfectly timed for an early summer beach wedding. But if your heart is set on tying the knot in the Winter or Fall … the garden rose makes for a modern frilly substitute.
Truly a maid-of-all-trades, the peony was once revered by Chinese diplomats for its medicinal properties and flavor. (Hmm … after-wedding snack, anyone?) In fact, the peony is so beloved in China it’s known as the “King of Flowers” and held the throne of the national flower until 1929.
Built like the fun-loving little sister of the dahlia, this charmer perfectly encapsulates the sunshiny vibes of a Hawaii beach wedding. The peony’s delicate yet complex layering of petals whimsically mirrors not only the flow of a wedding gown but also the waves of the sea.








Available from early spring to late autumn, these treasured blooms make the perfect beach wedding bouquet flower. Bursting in seascape hues from seafoam green to cerulean blue, the hydrangea will make a splash in any shoreside ceremony.
The Hydrangea is another popular bouquet bloom with origins in Asia. In today’s Japan, the small, star-shaped florets are brewed into a delicate tea and used to celebrate the birthday of Buddha.
As if all that’s not enough proof of this flower’s remarkable merits, the pink Hydrangea is quickly becoming an Eastern symbol of budding love. The spherical blooms are said to whisper, “You are the beat of my heart.” And the renowned florist, Tan Jun Yong, further mused over the pink hydrangea, saying, “The light delicate blush of the petals reminds me of a beating heart, while the size could only match the heart of the sender!”
We can hear you sighing over there … It’s okay, we’re sighing too.
With over 100 dainty flowers per stalk, this uniquely round beauty calls forth visions of globe sailing and ocean sprays. The rippling texture of the hydrangea stirs up memories of childhood wishing wells, casting fairy magic upon even the most sophisticated of beach weddings.





Planning on a beach wedding in Hawaii? Or just hoping to elope on the world’s most romantic sandy venue? We’re here to make your dreams come true!


The calla lily enfolds its velvety spathe around a yellow pistil, and the result is a trumpet of seemingly divine origins. Although it’s most commonly seen in hues of ivory, the calla lily is also available in the highly pigmented shades of mahogany, blush, Easter yellow, and sunset flame … not to mention black for all you posh trend-setters out there.
And because it’s cultivated to grow year-round, this bloom is a can-do for every chic and refined oceanside ceremony.
Originating in South Africa, the calla lily has been a European favorite since before the 1600s. Although technically not related to the lily species, this misnamed beauty has taken the world by storm and is now popularly considered to be the ultimate definition of elegance.
Like the rose, the symbolism of the calla lily is influenced by its coloring: white represents purity and faithfulness, pink represents fondness and admiration, purple represents passion, and yellow symbolizes thankfulness.





Available in pom-pom, pincushion, and starlike blooms. With a season ranging from late-summer through autumn and with hues from eggshell to chocolate, the dahlia brings an enchanting drop of Fall to any bridal bouquet.
The dahlia is a Mexican heartthrob worth swooning over. Originally cultivated by the Aztecs, and donning an endless abundance of petals, this versatile showstopper is a provocative beauty.









Long treasured for their feminine allure and pearlescent shimmer, orchids will bring a touch of the tropics to your floral bouquet. With over 28,000 different varieties, there’s sure to be an orchid type that will suit your venue and set your heart aglow. Not sure where to have your beach wedding? Check out our list of gorgeous Maui beach wedding locations.
Reminiscent of the heavenly Hawaiian rainbow, orchids bloom in every vivid color of the prism–from pistachio green to gradients of amethyst and cream, this exotic showstopper is sure to make a statement as you stroll down the sandy shore.
The delicate orchid is said to represent desire, virility, and beauty. In fact, it’s so intimately linked to romance, that the ancient Greeks dubbed it “orkhis,” which means … well, we’ll let you look that one up!

The fragrant eucalyptus perfumes the dreams of lovers. Bursting with the fresh and vibrant scents of crushed mint and upturned soil, and laced with subtle hints of just-picked lavender, eucalyptus sprigs are evocative bouquet inclusions that bring romance to the forefront.
Most species of eucalyptus are native to Australia and many can grow upwards of 200 feet!
Not only are the greens a favorite treat for adorable koala bears, but they’re also considered a sign of good fortune and positive outcomes. If a piece of eucalyptus bark is worn around the neck, then the wearer is said to bring good luck to whoever they encounter. You can’t go wrong with these special greens!














Curved into a perfect heart with a spike-shaped spadix at the center, the Anthurium has us dreaming of a young lover just pierced by Cupid’s arrow. Originating from South America and as glossy as can be, few flowers are as memorable as the lacy Anthurium.
Anthurium means “Tail Flower” in Greek, but this beauty also goes by “Lace Flower” and “Flamingo Flower.”
Native to South and Tropical America, Anthuriums grow in over 700 different varieties and bloom year-long. So, no matter what season you plan on having your beach wedding, the anthurium will be ready to make an impact!





Weaving in local foliage is a stylish and economical way to add a sense of place and culture to your Hawaiian destination wedding. From ferns and jade vines to the grand monstera and sacred Ti leaf, no beach bride is complete without a touch of tropical greenery.
Although the monstera leaf isn’t indigenous to Hawaii, its gorgeous jigsaw leaves can be spotted throughout the islands–keep an eye out for it during the spectacular drive to Hana!
Valued for their medicinal properties, some species of Hawaiian ferns have been alive and blooming for the last 1,000 years. Nope, that wasn’t a typo! Lace a couple into your bouquet, and you’ll quite literally be carrying a piece of the islands with you on your special day.















Proteas are available in many striking varieties, but few are as sensational as the king protea. Transcending time with its prehistoric beauty, this stately king is sure to draw the eye of every guest! That’s why this bloom is true to its name and reigns supreme on our list of top beach wedding bouquets!
The king protea symbolizes diversity and courage. With African origins, this mesmerizing titan now graces the slopes of every Hawaiian island and is quickly becoming a must-have for any beach wedding bouquet.
With a feather-soft belly cradled in lush peach and fuschia petals, the king protea is sure to take center stage. Including one of these royal blooms will give you a beach wedding bouquet that your guests won’t soon forget!













With the beautiful simplicity of a beach locale, our custom bouquet is an ideal way to bring in the colors you love and give the affair that personal touch.
Whether you’re looking for a dramatic collection of vibrant flowers to serve as a sharp pop of color against the scenery, or a softer blend of shades to complement the warm pastel hues of the tropical sunset, there’s sure to be a beach bouquet perfectly tailored to your style.
Come drop by our site for all your beach wedding in Maui inspiration! Or read our blog for intimate details on real Maui shoreline ceremonies.
Bouquets date back to Medieval times. To ensure the longevity of their love and to ward off evil spirits, the bride and groom often decked themselves in garlands of herbs and garlic (With the added bonus of masking that pungent scent of Medieval body odor!). Thankfully, the garlic is long gone! And today’s modern brides have the luxury of sophisticated blooms bursting with personality and delicate scents.
Ever wonder why the bride traditionally tosses these luscious floral blooms of eye-candy? Well, tucker down because we’ve got a story for you!
Back in the Medieval Ages, brides were considered lucky commodities and guests just couldn’t leave without having a piece of their own “good luck” charm … so, instead of saying their fond farewells after grabbing a piece of delectable red velvet and buttercream wedding cake, the guests of old snatched and tore at pieces of the bride instead–leaving her buzzed and blushing in all the wrong ways!
Until one fateful day, a witty young bride tossed her bouquet into her frothing swarm of admirers, tempting them into ripping at the petals for souvenirs while she and the groom dashed away to the safety of their wedding chambers. After which, the groom flung out his new wife’s garter to further satiate the crowd.
And while today the bride is still considered as lucky as can be, thankfully the times (AND guests!) have changed. So if you choose to toss that bodacious bouquet of yours, cast a glance around at your admiring guests and take heart in the fact that if you decide to ask for it back, you’ll surely end the night with your flowers (and yourself!) in one piece.
Legend has it, whoever catches the bride’s bouquet will be the next one walking down the aisle.
So anyone who wishes to tie the knot with a partner in the near future can stand behind the bride in hopes of catching the bouquet. Of course, to actually catch the bouquet, your guests will need some fairly deft “bouquet catching” (or snatching!) skills.
A basic bouquet will start at $300 and go up according to your specific flower choices and customizations. Styles that require more blooms, like a cascading bouquet, will generally cost more than the traditional nosegay choices.
Although they’re Hawaiian island classics, we don’t recommend the plumeria and hibiscus as part of a beach bouquet because they’re incredibly quick to wilt and brown once picked. And with the time spent traveling, performing the ceremony, and photographing those gorgeous sunset portraits, this means that both flowers are unsuited for beach wedding bouquets … the last thing you want is a bloom that checks-out for the night before you’ve even said: “I do.”

It was endless blue skies and cool tropical breezes for this Maui beach elopement on Wailea’s Southside shoreline. The night before Beatriz & Giovanni’s special day, a dusting of snow graced the Haleakala summit, anointing the occasion with the heavenly mana of the island…
Hailing from Austin, this joyous couple first bumped wheels at the skatepark–and within moments, their hearts were flipping along with their boards! Four years later, in the warmth of his parent’s loving home, Giovanni asked Beatriz to spend forever with him… and she said yes, of course!
Keep swiping for all the heart-flipping beauty of their Maui beach wedding…






The kindhearted Kahu Richardo Hanako’o officiated the ceremony. And as Giovanni’s mother and father bore witness, a small pod of humpbacks danced across the oceanfront while the couple said: “I do.”




















Although it was Giovanni’s parents who were physically present for the union, Beatriz’s family was there in spirit… They rested close to her in precious photo charms laced around her bouquet with ribbons of baby-blue.







Whales, blue skies, and snow… how many auspicious signs can one couple have during their Maui destination wedding? There’s always room for one more!
The ceremony faded into the night with a blissful sunset of soft cherry and lavender, perfectly suited to this couple’s spunky magic.

Cradled in the heart of Lahaina, the sweeping terrace of the Dragon Fruit Farm set the stage for Bianca & Danny’s venue wedding on Maui. This airy affair boasted refined luxury as far as the eye could see, complete with personal touches and sentimental details.
Having once resided on Maui, Bianca fell in love with the island and mused, “I always thought it would be amazing to come back and get married here… This is going to be Danny’s first time to Hawaii, and I’m so excited to show him around.”
And it was our immense pleasure to capture her wedding dreams as they unfolded into a swoon-worthy reality.

Like many modern love stories, this jubilant couple first crossed paths online. Their romance quickly took flight, whisking them away to the rolling hills of Scotland and the legendary Stonehenge. And on that grassy knoll, with the 4,000-year-old structure bearing witness, Danny asked Bianca to be his wife…
And then, on February 2nd, overlooking a view as beautiful as their love story, they said “I do” on the sacred island of Maui (With an adorable cardboard cut-out of their 6-year-old dog, Bubba, bearing witness). We can only imagine what’s next in store for this endearing couple…





































Now that Bianca and Danny are joined together, the heart of the Hawaiian sun shines between them.

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!

Ten years into their relationship, Caitlin and Ricky were relaxing on the couch when she turned to him and casually said, “Hey, let’s have a beach wedding in Maui.” Well, actually, she said, “I think we should get married.” It was exactly how Caitlin always imagined it would be, an open and honest conversation where they made the big decision together.
And it was after researching wedding options in their home state of Washington, that the two made another big decision together. They realized they could arrange a family vacation to Hawaii and have a destination wedding in Maui for the same price tag… So, of course, that’s exactly what they did!



As high school sweethearts, Caitlin and Ricky have her brother, Devin, to thank for their union.
Or, as Caitlin so frankly (and hilariously!) puts it: “Devin was annoyed that Ricky started talking to me. So I talked to Ricky to intentionally annoy my brother… and our love grew from there.” Sibling rivalry is truly a magical thing!




There was no shortage of laughs and smiles with this magnetic couple! The deep and honest love that Caitlin and Ricky feel for each other was palpable. It was abundantly clear that this marriage wasn’t just between high school sweethearts… but also between best friends.
Keep scrolling for all of the tenderhearted moments…

Just north of Makena State Park, the rolling sands of Maluaka Beach set the stage for Yifeng & Kai’s tenderhearted Maui Beach Ceremony. Like so many of our Hawaii weddings, the weather showcased Maui at her finest. Beneath the warmth of the Pacific sun, the couple was treated to an overflow of sunshine and sweet tropical breezes.
The ocean folded itself in layers of aquamarine and jade, as Yifeng and Kai exchanged their touching sentiments. It always lifts our spirits to witness such a sincere love between a couple. And when that honesty is paired with the breathtaking backdrop of the Maui coast, something truly magical takes place. Follow along to see all the enchantment!

Yifeng and Kai met through a mutual friend and became engaged at a Michelin 3 Star restaurant… they said the food and service were amazing. And clearly you can trust this couple’s taste, just take a look at their crisp and elegant style!






With one of our Rustic Hawaiian Bouquets in hand, Yifang is beyond radiant. We love how she blends traditional gemstone elements with a clean and modern silhouette. And the pop of scarlet lipstick draws the eye to her lovely face.






The joyous Kahu Richardo Hanako’o officiated the ceremony, gracing the couple with his fond Aloha and charitable nature.


After the ceremony, the couple stepped away to capture some intimate Maui wedding portraits.

Maluaka Beach is one of our favorite wedding locations. Enclosed in an abundance of natural greenery and lava rock embankments, this Hawaiian shoreline offers unique and versatile backdrops.














With the West Maui Mountains on the horizon, the sentimentality captured in this photograph has us awestruck.









Thank you, Yifang and Kai, for sharing your relaxed yet exciting Maui beach ceremony with us! We wish you all the joy in the years to come!
