Cassie and Peter’s Three-Day Maui Wedding Celebration

Cassie and Peter’s wedding wasn’t just a day — it was a beautifully curated, three-day experience that unfolded across Maui’s stunning coastline. From a breezy sunset sail to a refined oceanfront wedding at The Olowalu Plantation House, every moment felt intentional, elegant, and joy-filled.

Day One: Sunset Sail Cruise
The celebration began with a private Sunset Sail Cruise with ShangriLa Sailing Charters, setting the tone for a week of unforgettable memories. Cassie chose a playful light-blue two-piece dress from Kaoa Official, perfectly complementing the soft hues of the Pacific at dusk. Guests dressed in off-white ensembles, creating a cohesive and airy look against the golden light. Peter kept it effortlessly island-chic in a light linen suit — a perfect match for the tropical breeze.

Day Two: Tropical Welcome Party
The next evening, friends and family gathered at Ulu at The Westin Maui Resort for a lively beachfront welcome party overlooking Kaanapali Beach. Guests mingled over craft beers, a margarita station, and fresh local bites as the Maui sunset painted the horizon. Live music by local talent Thad Jennings added an upbeat, tropical energy that had everyone smiling.

Day Three: Wedding Day at The Olowalu Plantation House
Under the expert planning of Couture Events, the wedding design was classic and refined, yet imbued with subtle Maui-inspired touches. Clean lines, natural textures, and a neutral palette made the celebration feel timeless — soft garden florals paired effortlessly with hints of tropical greens for a look that was elegant without being overly traditional.

Cassie stunned in the Luni Gown by Kyha Bride, a modern scoop-neck bodice and full duchess satin skirt with a daring split. True to her thoughtful nature, she created a Pinterest board to guide guest attire for each event — and her guests truly delivered.

A Palette Inspired by Maui
The color story drew from the island’s natural beauty: soft sand, sun-bleached driftwood, and warm stone formed the base, layered with cloud whites and delicate garden blooms. Accents of palm green and sky blue brought depth while keeping the overall mood calm, airy, and organic.

Florals with a Tropical Twist
Teresa Sena Designs combined delicate ranunculus and lisianthus with tropical orchids and tulip anthuriums. Low ceramic vessels held tonal arrangements, balancing subtle texture with an understated palette.

Oceanfront Ceremony
The couple exchanged vows framed by all-white ground florals rich with tropical texture. Wooden benches and white umbrellas provided comfort for guests while letting the ocean backdrop shine.

Cocktail Hour, Bar & Lounge
Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed with chilled tropical-scented towels and signature drinks — a mai tai crowned with lilikoi foam and a refreshing gin cocktail. The heart of the celebration was the crescent cane bar, glowing under suspended woven pendants and serving as both a design centerpiece and a lively gathering place. Nearby, a relaxed lounge with white upholstered seating, natural wood accents, and fire tables offered a cozy retreat for conversation between sips and dances. Together, these elements created a seamless flow from cocktail hour into the evening’s festivities, blending comfort, style, and that easy Maui charm.

Reception Under the Lights
After sunset portraits along the oceanfront, Cassie and Peter made their entrance to the reception beneath a canopy of bistro lights and woven mini pendants. The mix of round and long tables, white tabletops, warm wood accents, upholstered chairs, and woven chargers created a layered, intimate setting.

The evening was filled with laughter and tears during heartfelt speeches, with the father of the bride delivering one that left the entire room touched. Cassie and Peter then took to the dance floor for their choreographed first dance — a perfect mix of elegance and personality — which set the tone for a night of joyful celebration.

From start to finish, Cassie and Peter’s Maui wedding embodied intentional design, heartfelt moments, and a seamless blend of island beauty with timeless elegance — the kind of celebration guests will remember long after the last wave kissed the shore.
