Planning a Beautiful Hawaiian Wedding: A Case Study of Alexa and Fred’s Celebrations
Seamless Celebration with Local Touches
Alexa collaborated with Bash, a professional wedding planning team led by Molly and Sunnah, to orchestrate a memorable weekend filled with personal touches and local Hawaiian vendors. “Molly, Sunnah and her team helped the weekend flow seamlessly and bring everything back to life,” says Alexa. “I had a really clear vision of how everything wanted to feel, and they helped it do it beautifully.” The couple prioritized local sourcing, ensuring that the essence of Hawaii was present throughout the event.
Wardrobe Iterations Reflecting Personal Stories
Alexa’s wedding attire was an integral part of the weekend’s narrative, with each outfit carefully selected to embody different facets of their celebration. “I wanted everything I felt was woven into the weekend,” she explains. The wardrobe selections ranged from playful to sculptural, each piece resonating with the island’s vibrant energy.
Attire Highlights
- Thursday Pool Party: Alexa opted for a lightweight dress over a blue bikini, complemented by Dezso’s Coral and Sapphire earrings, a thoughtful gift from Fred. Later, she transformed into a stylish two-piece ensemble by Frances Kamiranda from Over the Moon, bringing together flowing silhouettes with delicate lace details.
- Evening Cocktail: The outfit was enhanced with Manolo Blahnik heels, perfectly suited for the tropical backdrop. A white Hermes pochette completed her look.
Coordination with the Groom and Son
Fred’s attire complemented Alexa’s elegant choices. He donned a tailored, relaxed knitted polo by Loro Piana, paired with cream pants and suede loafers from Brunello Cucinelli. “My six-year-old son, Lucian, adjusted him with a matching neutral palette,” notes Alexa. Their coordinated outfits became a light-hearted theme of the weekend, reinforcing the sentiment that “happy wife, happy life.”
Luau Night: A Fusion of Fashion and Culture
During the Friday night Luau, Alexa showcased two distinct takes on island-inspired fashion. Her first outfit featured an avant-garde look from Jean-Paul Gaultier’s recent couture collection, designed by Ludovic de Saint-Cernin. Inspired by a famed photograph of Cindy Crawford on Hawaii’s black sandy beaches, the dress’s unique beaded design evokes the natural beauty of the volcanic landscape.
This blend of modern aesthetics with traditional Hawaiian elements provided a striking visual representation of the locale, embodying the juxtaposition of raw and refined that defines the island.
