Every so often something pops up that immediately makes our hearts flutter and this DIY wedding in Hawaii is one of those things. The bride is a fashion stylist and the groom is a photographer so this creative power couple DIY-ed most of their wedding decor and honestly, we’re in awe. With incredible fashion-forward looks from both the bride and groom, we cannot stop gushing over every colorful detail in this Kona Beach wedding captured by Melia Lucida.

Aki and Marie beautifully blended their cultures into an unforgettable wedding ceremony with 100 of their closest friends and family that flew from all over the world to attend their destination wedding on Kona Beach in Hawaii.

Can you believe the bride handmade these arrangements? We love the mismatched taper candles paired with ruby red roses & anthuriums topped off with pastel purple knotted napkins.
