Hawaii Wedding Florist Designs by Hemingway at the Bayer Estate
Our styled wedding was intentionally small and intimate, allowing every detail to feel personal and meaningful. I selected a soft, romantic color palette of cream, pale yellow, and touches of sage, accented with delicate hints of soft peach. The result was an elegant and timeless design inspired by the beauty of an English garden.
The Ceremony
Set against the breathtaking oceanfront backdrop, our ceremony featured an 8-foot oval metal arch adorned with lush garden roses, larkspur, feverfew, hydrangeas, eucalyptus, and cascading orchid sprays. The floral design framed the view beautifully while creating a romantic focal point for our vows.
The aisle was lined with coordinating ground floral arrangements that complemented the arch design. Following the ceremony, these florals were thoughtfully repurposed and placed in front of the reception dining tables, creating continuity throughout the celebration while maximizing the beauty of every bloom.
The Reception
For the reception, we styled one of my favorite color palettes—soft cream, pale yellow, and delicate peach—using textured European garden blooms arranged atop a dramatic 16-foot dining table.
The tablescape was layered with exquisite organic linens from La Tavola, complemented by our custom soft butter-yellow table runner. Centerpieces featured a luxurious blend of garden roses, sweet peas, Orlaya lace flower, tulips, campanula, orchids, and eucalyptus, creating a romantic garden-inspired aesthetic.
To enhance the ambiance, we incorporated candlelight from our designer rental collection along with our newest linen covered table lamps. These architectural lighting elements brought the warmth and sophistication of an indoor setting to the outdoor reception, creating an intimate and inviting atmosphere as the evening unfolded.
We are absolutely in love with this stunning oceanfront Hawaii wedding venue on Oahu’s beautiful south shore. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Waikiki and only 10 minutes from the Kahala and Diamond Head area, the Bayer Estate offers both accessibility and charm.
