Colorful Eco-Friendly Wedding at Kualoa Ranch, HI

Sarah and Andrew’s colorful eco-friendly wedding was so full of color, love, and respect for our earth! Now, this wasn’t just any wedding it was an eco-friendly celebration that beautifully blended Hawaiian and Samoan traditions, honoring Andrew’s heritage in such a meaningful way. Sarah and Andrew chose to tie the knot at the breathtaking Kualoa Ranch, this location perfectly mirrored their commitment to nature and sustainability. Every part of their day was carefully planned to minimize environmental impact without compromising the vibe they were going for!

Sarah & Andrew’s Colorful Eco-Friendly Wedding

Sarah is a marine biologist and micro-influencer with a passion for the environment, so she made sure that every detail was eco-conscious. The floral arrangements were stunning! Bursting with color, they featured native flowers planted in full pots, which the florist could continue to use. How cool and unique is that, right?! The ceremony was a heartfelt fusion of cultures. Sarah and Andrew had a lei wrapped around them – a beautiful symbol of their unity. It was beautiful to see their vibrant love with the Hawaiian landscape surrounding them.

But the cultural nods didn’t stop there! The couple treated their guests to a dinner hula, a timeless Hawaiian tradition. And then, Sarah performed the Siva Samoan dance, a fascinating display of grace and strength that left everyone in awe. As the sun set, a fire dancer took center stage, lighting up the night with an amazing performance. The energy was palpable – a fitting end to a day that was anything but ordinary! Throughout the day, it was clear just how much Sarah and Andrew are loved. From emotional vows that had us reaching for tissues, to speeches that had us laughing, it was a day filled with genuine moments that I felt privileged to capture.
