Sophia + Drew
Established in Tradition, Set in Kaui
NOVEMBER IN KAUAI, HAWAII
NA ‘ĀINA KAI BOTANICAL GARDENS
Set in Kauai, Sophia and Drew’s wedding unfolded as a multi-day gathering shaped by family, heritage, and the energy of the island. The weekend began with a series of events that brought guests into the experience early, including a welcome party with a traditional pig roast and a tea ceremony that honored their cultural backgrounds.
The finer details were considered, including a custom tropical pattern that moved across paper goods and design elements, creating a sense of continuity from one space to the next. A passing rain just before the ceremony gave way to sun, setting the tone for an evening beneath a tent filled with guests, color, and conversation. The entire weekend felt vibrant and personal, grounded in both place and tradition.
