Dreamy Hawaiian Ranch Wedding at Puakea Ranch in Kona

Groom carries bride on wedding day under tree canopy

Simple, yet totally romantic, this destination wedding just goes to show that less can really be more. With a small guest list and minimal decor, we're totally smitten over how dreamy their big day was at the picturesque Puakea Ranch in Kona, HI.
Hanging flower garlands and lovely pineapple floral centerpieces brought this styled-to-perfection event to life. We have a full gallery of beautiful images to share with you from Couple Cups photography.

Hawaiian Ranch

From the bride: We knew we wanted to be in Hawaii so we did some research and came across Puakea Ranch and knew that was the place! We did everything ourselves with some recommendations from Christie, the ranch owner, and our family putting together the final touches.

Intimate ceremony

Our most important moment was our ceremony. We wanted to involve everyone that came all the way to the big island to celebrate with us and their involvement made it so special. Our wedding day so much more than I imagined. Relaxed as everything came together so wonderfully!
