A Timeless Elopement on Maui at the Montage Kapalua

February 8, 2025

Against the breathtaking backdrop of Maui’s coastline, a love story unfolded in the most intimate and elegant way at Montage Kapalua. With its lush tropical landscapes, refined luxury, and stunning ocean views, this exclusive venue provided the perfect setting for a wedding that beautifully merged timeless sophistication with the island’s natural allure.

A Design Rooted in Elegance and Nature
The couple envisioned a celebration that exuded understated luxury while embracing the organic beauty of Maui. The design featured warm wood tones, delicate tropical textures, and a refined palette of white, sand, sage, and deep green—a harmonious reflection of the island’s serene landscape. Every element was meticulously curated to create a seamless, intimate experience.

A Bridal Look of Oceanic Elegance


The bride was the epitome of classic beauty, wearing a gown that exuded grace and sophistication. Her pearl accessories glistened like the waves, while her all-white bouquet complemented the timeless charm of her look. Beside her, the groom stood in a classic black tuxedo, a striking contrast to the soft, natural tones of the setting, creating an effortlessly refined duo.

A Floral Dreamscape


Florals played a central role in bringing the vision to life. The ceremony’s rounded floral arch, a breathtaking blend of classic white blooms and lush greenery, framed the couple as they exchanged vows against the stunning ocean backdrop. The reception design echoed the ceremony’s aesthetic, with elegant rattan-backed chairs and lush floral arrangements, seamlessly connecting the different parts of the celebration.

Guests were welcomed into a dreamy sailcloth tent, its entrance adorned with lush tropical florals, setting the tone for the evening. Inside, modern wood chairs, bistro lights, and natural textures cultivated an atmosphere that felt both elevated and inviting.

A Culinary Experience with a Personal Touch


The couple’s love story was woven into every detail, even the drinks. A custom bar, adorned with watercolor menus and green linen accents, featured signature cocktails playfully named after their childhood stuffed animals—a whimsical, heartfelt nod to their journey together. Guests sipped on these personalized drinks while indulging in a culinary experience inspired by the vibrant flavors of Maui, carefully curated to complement the elevated ambiance of the evening.

A Cake as Refined as the Evening


Every detail, down to the wedding cake, reflected the couple’s impeccable taste. The textured design of the cake mirrored the elegant reception linens, while its sleek white stand with gold accents added an element of effortless sophistication. Both visually stunning and delicious, it was the perfect sweet ending to a flawless evening.

Intimate Moments, Thoughtful Details


With just 17 guests, the couple ensured that each attendee felt truly celebrated. Personalized menus and intimate seating arrangements created a warm, welcoming experience. A custom crest, inspired by their Italian engagement and Maui’s tropical beauty, was woven into their stationery, menus, and décor, adding a unique and sentimental touch.

From the lush, tropical elegance of the design to the deeply personal details woven throughout the evening, this elevated elopement at Montage Kapalua was nothing short of magical—a perfect balance of romance, sophistication, and island charm.
