We’re jetting off to Hawaii for Kyndall and Konner’s gorgeous tropical week-long Hawaii wedding<\/strong>. Their celebrations were held at Ohana Retreat<\/a> in glorious boho style.<\/p>\n

There were tropical-style florals which included lashings of pampas grass. Plus there were the most divine outfits and sweet nods to their pets’ fur prints in the decor. What a lovely<\/em> idea! Such a memorable and special affair indeed.<\/p>\n

Tropical Hawaii Wedding<\/em><\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

The proposal took place in Leavenworth Washington<\/strong> December 2020. We took a family wagon ride pulled by Clydesdale horses through the snow and woods and stopped in a picturesque field with mountains in the background.<\/p>\n

This is where I was told we were going to take pictures and Konner and I were to go first. After taking our picture I turned to go back to the wagon and left Konner down on one knee in the snow<\/strong>. It was a total surprise to me, I had no idea he had the ring!<\/p>\n

It was a magical day and I\u2019m so glad my family was able to be a part of it as Konner knows my family is very important to me. Leavenworth is a Bavarian-styled village and around Christmas time they decorate with Christmas lights so we were able to go celebrate in the village with all lights making it even more magical<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

Destination wedding<\/a> with all of our close family and friends. Simple and outdoor<\/strong>. Let the outdoor scenery of the plantation be the decoration and set the vibe.<\/p>\n

Lots of greenery with monstera leaves, white pampas grass, and white simple flowers.<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

Around $30,000<\/strong>. We saved by not using a wedding planner and having the venue of the wedding also being the accommodation of wedding parties and families.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Ohana Retreat<\/strong> at the Kona Plantation in Kona, Hawaii<\/strong>. It has two houses that could accommodate our immediate families and both wedding parties. It has a private pool between the houses, two yards, a tennis court, and a botanical garden\/orchard with over 100 different tropical fruits and cacao.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, we received a tour of the property and orchard and tasted the ripe fruits, homemade dark chocolate, and Kona coffee. We were welcome to go into the orchard anytime and pick our own fruits for the day.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

We wanted to make the ceremony personal and different from other ceremonies. Family walked down to Young and Beautiful DH Orchestral Version by Lana Del Ray<\/strong>, wedding party walked down to Butterflies by MAX and Ali Gatie<\/strong>, Bride walked down to Anyone Acoustic cover from Justin Beiber\u2019s song by Jonah Baker and Celine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Officiant was Konner\u2019s Uncle Steve Girkout. Konner and I read our own vows<\/strong>. My Grandfather Warren Bingham wrote and recited a personal poem he wrote about our relationship. Konner\u2019s Mother Karena Fritz recited a poem she thought reflected our relationship.<\/p>\n

To seal the deal, we decided to go out of the box and unite via beer<\/strong>. Konner and I have lived in the three states that are most known for beer: Oregon, Washington, and Colorado. We have had many beers together throughout our relationship and love the Kona Big Wave beer. So why not incorporate it into the wedding ceremony sine were getting married in Kona Hawaii!<\/p>\n

To \u201cunite\u201d we each poured a Kona Big Wave into a pitcher. Then we made it official by cheersing the officiant and each taking a drink of a cold Big Wave. Now we can call it \u201cour beer\u201d and everyone at the wedding will be reminded of our special day when they have a Kona Big Wave.<\/p>\n

The exit song was Big Love by Louis The Child<\/strong>. We wanted an upbeat song to be able to dance down the aisle to and insinuate it was now time to celebrate (aka party).<\/p>\n
