A tropical flair and true Aloha spirit set the tone for Kelly and James' Maui destination wedding. Friends and family flew in from the U.S., Canada and Japan to celebrate at the beautiful Olowalu Plantation House in Lahaina. Thoughtful traditions and design elements honored the couple's family heritage and their water-inspired Hawaiian wedding theme. Surprise performances including a hula dance by the bride and traditional Taiko drummers delighted guests, and the night ended in a fairy tale way with sparkling paper candles lit and sent off from the beach into the night sky!
