Love in the Rain: Holualoa Inn Intimate Wedding

January 9, 2024

Romeo and Juliet was a groundbreaking play in multiple ways. One that shocked audiences and got critics roaring was a unique introduction. At the start of the play, the ending was told to the audience. It was a new way of telling a classic story. Perfectly harmonious, it began at the end.

At the Holualoa Inn, exactly one year before tying the knot, Helen and David found themselves standing at the same spot where their love story began – the location of their engagement. This charming coincidence set the tone for a day filled with love, laughter, and a touch of adventure.

The couple, true to their nature, are avid adventurers, and it was no surprise that they chose the Holualoa Inn as their wedding venue. Nestled in the heart of nature, this venue provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate celebration, surrounded by the lush beauty of Hawaii. Their venue perfectly fit with their desire for an intimate luxury wedding and our professional services did not fail to deliver. A delicate flower petal aisle runner created the perfect walkway for the simple and elegant nuptial ceremony, leaving the attention on the glowing couple. 

Flower Me Pretty designed a unique floral arrangement, mixing traditional wedding roses and florals with the tropical leafy greens and vibrant plumage of the Hawaiian foliage. The table talk remained lively as the centerpieces left plenty of room for conversation. The long tables invited everyone to sit together as family and the placements made of fine dinnerware, gorgeous napkins and warm, silverware aligned perfectly and elevated the wooden accents and light wood style low-backed chairs.

The atmosphere of their wedding and reception was as warm as the gentle Hawaiian climate as their closest family and friends gathered to celebrate their love. As the raindrops started to fall on their special day, Helen and David, undeterred, embraced the weather with open hearts. Little did they know that this unexpected rain would gift them an awe-inspiring moment…

As an exclusive luxury wedding planner, we are selective when determining which clients to work with. While budget is a factor, it’s critical that we mesh well with the couples we’re working with because trust is core to the process and success of their wedding.

Working with this remarkable couple was an absolute pleasure. Helen and David’s thoughtfulness and kindness shone through in every decision they made as their guests were treated to an incredible weekend experience and each detail was thoughtfully curated. Their easygoing nature and genuine love for each other made it clear that, rain or shine, their wedding day would be nothing short of perfection.

As the rain sauntered off and the clouds gave way, a gorgeous rainbow arched above the couple as though a personal blessing on their wedding day. The rainbow, a symbol of hope and promise, became a magical element of their day, showcasing the beauty that can emerge from unexpected moments and how, with a little sense of adventure, even a rainy wedding day can be a breathtaking display of love.

We were so honored to celebrate the love, resilience, and adventurous spirits of Helen and David. Their wedding day serves as a reminder that true love knows no bounds and that embracing life’s surprises can lead to the most enchanting memories.
