A Kukio Beach Wedding: Kevin ♥ Jill

Many couples opt to marry in Hawaii because they want an intimate, romantic beach wedding that is just the two of them. That's exactly what Kevin and Jill had in mind when they contacted Vintage&Lace about their January wedding.



Both Kevin and Jill work full time in high powered positions that keep them busy most of the year. The idea of planning a wedding from afar and organizing the details, even for just a two person wedding, was overwhelming! 


Even for a small wedding you still need to:
-Identify the right location for your wedding ceremony
-Choose and contact a Wedding Officiant or Minister
-Hire a Wedding Photographer
-File for the required Beach Access Wedding Permit from the State (which also requires special insurance)
-Set up an appointment with a Marriage License Official for when you arrive in Hawaii
-Arrange transportation
-Order and pick up leis or other floral items
-Make dining reservations, and
-Hire a musician


That's why Jill and Kevin contacted Vintage&Lace. They knew that even their small wedding could turn into a lot of work so they called us! 




We love planning and coordinating small wedding ceremonies and are so happy that Jill and Kevin chose us. We offer some of the most affordable (starting at just $500) and highest quality Intimate Beach Wedding Packages on the Big Island that we customize to meet your Hawaii wedding needs.




 We know all the great secluded beach ceremony locations and are aware of all the State rules and regulations so that you don't have any unwanted surprises on your big day. We also already have the required insurance and paperwork to file for the Beach Wedding Permit that we provide free with the purchase of any package (at least a $95 value!). Additionally, we set up a special post-ceremony toast for the two of you, order and deliver your included wedding leis, and personally meet and direct your officiant, photographer, and musician on location so you don't have to.  




Here is what Kevin and Jill had to say about the value of their Vintage&Lace Beach Wedding Package: 

"For a couple of hard-working mainlanders, we needed a wedding planner who could quickly arrange a low-key but meaningful beach wedding for two with minimal input on our part. Rachael met that task gracefully. She chose a truly fantastic location, hired an exceptional guitarist, helped us arrange our photography (breathtaking!), helped us book the Minister (wonderful!), ordered and brought our lei and maille, supplied champagne and toasting flutes, and made sure it all ran like clockwork. Rachael made this day entirely stress free, which meant we could simply be present in the moment for the happiest day of our lives! We whole-heartedly and enthusiastically recommend Vintage & Lace."  -Jill L. 





Whether you are planning a Hawaii Beach Wedding for 150 or, just for 2, we think that a wedding planner is a smart investment and we might be biased, but we think Vintage&Lace Weddings is the best choice!

Aloha, 
Rachael

The Real Reason for a Celebration

The real reason to celebrate at a wedding... Love!  Sometimes the bride and groom as well as the many guests can fall victim to paying too much attention to the little things.  I love the little touches that make a wedding unique and special, but I want to say how important a detail it is when everyone in the room can feel the love shared between the bride and groom.  In fact, one of my favorite things to do at a wedding, whether coordinating, attending, or part of the wedding party is to watch the bride enter, then turn to look at the groom's face as he sees his bride for the first time on the wedding day.  It is truly a beautiful moment when they see each other and everyone in the room feels the love that is shared.

I was lucky enough to experience true love a little over a week ago.  I was at a wedding that the love between the bride and groom was evident to everyone attending.  My hope is that all the brides and grooms that are planning their weddings have found the love that these two have.  Love is something a wedding planner/designer/coordinator can't manage or fabricate, but we can build a beautiful ceremony and reception that can honor it.

Vintage + Hawaii

At first glance, it may be difficult to envision what a vintage Hawaiian wedding would look like but these images prove just how beautiful the concept can be. So, when planning your Hawaiian wedding, don't forget to think outside the typical tropical theme and choose an interpretation with a softer palette and a vintage Hawaii feel.
