Big Island Hawaii, Destination Beach Wedding with Katrina and Leroy

4/9/2019

We traveled to the Big Island, Hawaii home of two of the world's greatest mountains, one of the world's most active volcanoes and 10 of the world's 14 climate zones. This beautiful destination wedding happened at Fairmont Orchid Resort located on the majestic sunny Kohala Coast.
Inspired by culture, well being and genuine aloha, this was the perfect place to celebrate the love of Katrina and Leroy.

I asked Katrina couple of questions for the blog:

Leroy and I met on Match.com our first date was Easter Sunday. We met at a spot in downtown San Diego called Vino Carta. We had a phone conversation before meeting and spent half of the day talking about everything under the sun. He showed up for our first date with a gorgeous bouquet of all of my favorite flowers! One of the many things that won me over instantly.

Leroy proposed to me in Italy in a small town called Orvieto its sit on top of a hill and has cobble stone streets and the Duomo di Orvieto which is all breath taking. He proposed at dinner with our friends at a small resturaunt called La Magdalena. It just was perfect!

I was born on The Big Island, Hawaii and it holds a special place in my heart. I wanted to share that with Leroy as he actually hadn't been there prior to the wedding. The coastline is just breathtaking and holds many great memories.
We loved the grass location at The Fairmont Orchid Resort and Mew the coordinator was very helpful and informative. I felt confident in their ability to help create a very magical setting and occasion.

The inspiration was a Romantic and Natural theme, rustic...while still elegant.

My favorite moments from our Hawaiian wedding was the First Look, having my Dad walk me down the aisle. Definitely saying Our vows to one another. The flowers were perfection! I think seeing everything come together after all the planning was really exciting as well.

Advice for Brides.. try to enjoy the moment as it goes by so fast. Have a moment to yourself before walking down the aisle to clear your head. Designate someone to clean your hotel room after everyone is done getting ready!

In our future plans- in spring of 2020 we will be taking a trip to Spain, The Mediterranean and Ibiza.

Congratulations Katrina and Leroy, we were so happy to be a part of your Hawaiian destination wedding!!!
