Hawaiian destination wedding

Klaire and Alex’s stunning Hawaiian wedding day at Kualoa Ranch was full of dreamy details and personal touches from start to finish. Klaire prioritized her fashion, wearing two different gowns, one by Monique L’Huillier and one by Ines de Santo, for a truly chic bridal style all day long. The couple chose to add sentimental touches throughout, as well – Bride Klaire actually created the vow books herself, and is now even starting a company to sell them! Keep scrolling to see how this perfect day came together with the help of Finish Touch Hawaii and captured by Matias Ezcurra Photography and Elegant Films.

From vow booklets to business

Making the bound vow booklets for her own wedding inspired Klaire to begin her own business. The booklets she designed for her own wedding included custom stamped linen covers and a delicate ribbon page marker.
