Kennedy & Kevin’s Elegant Paliku Gardens Wedding

Kennedy and Kevin's wedding at Paliku Gardens was the kind of day that felt classy, joyful, and elegant from start to finish.

Their palette of purple, green, and ivory set the tone for the entire celebration, romantic without ever feeling heavy, and it let the natural beauty of Paliku Gardens do a lot of the work. Belle De Jour brought that palette to life with florals that were nothing short of gorgeous, and Kennedy couldn't have been happier with how they turned out.

A light sprinkle of rain rolled through during cocktail hour, but it barely registered. Guests stayed easygoing, drinks in hand, and the mood never dipped. If anything, it added to the feeling that nothing was going to get in the way of celebrating Kennedy and Kevin.

One of our favorite parts of the entire day happened during dinner, when hula dancers and live musicians from Kahiapo Talent took the floor during dinner. What started as entertainment quickly became something guests were part of, with dancers pulling people in to join throughout the meal. It turned dinner from something guests were simply watching into something they were experiencing alongside Kennedy and Kevin.

As the sun went down, the energy shifted again with a fire knife performance that had everyone on their feet. It was the kind of moment that ends up being one of the most memorable parts of the night, the kind of detail guests are still talking about days later.

DJ Tony So kept the dance floor full well into the evening, and by the end of the night, it was clear just how loved this couple is. Guests left Paliku Gardens with tired feet and full hearts, grateful to have been part of a celebration this warm and full of love for Kennedy and Kevin.
