The Ceremony.
Venue.
MARRIOTT WAIKIKI BEACH HOTEL - GARDEN COURTYARD
After our first venue options fell through, we went with our next favorite - the Garden Courtyard at the Waikiki Beach Marriott. I love this area with all the plants and flowers. There will be seating for about 50 people, but there is plenty space for everyone to stand and watch. Lucky for us, Chris's Uncle Kordell will be our officiant.

Ring Pillow.
The most important to us was to have as much family as possible there with us at our wedding. As an added bonus most of these family members have helped us greatly in our planning. One of these examples is the ring pillow. My grandma was kind enough to make the ring pillow for us and I think she did a beautiful job :)

Flowers cont.
I almost forgot our Flower girl! Since she is small, I figured having her toss flowers might be too much for her. And having a real flower pomander might get damaged if she starts playing with it. So I found some really beautiful silk flower pomanders on Etsy and lucked out! Yvonne from Modage Floral made us a purty orange rose pomader! Thank you Yvonne!
