makapu’u overlook - Florals and Decor
There are lots of ways to personalize your Makapu’u Overlook wedding. Please take some time to look over this page in detail before filling out the “Florals & Decor Questionnaire”. Also, don’t worry about completing this step until your planner has asked you to.
Options to Personalize your makapu’u overlook wedding Ceremony …
1. Wooden White Chairs for guests with white padding - $8.50 USD each
2. Add a Wedding Arbor:
Option 1. Wedding Arbor (wooden, round circle) with white Hawaiian silk florals ($650)
Option 2. Wedding Arbor (wooden, round circle) with white Hawaiian silk florals ($650) + some real flowers ($125) / ($775)
Option 3. Wedding Arbor (wooden, round circle) ($500) + all real flowers (custom quote to be provided)
*See options and sample photos below the Floral Form to decide which you like best.
3. Decide on Ceremony Location (grassy mound or wooden deck):
- There is a grassy mound that is perfect for elopements (no guests) or you could do a wedding ceremony with guests here but the guests would need to be set up in chairs at the bottom of the little mound. OR you can have the ceremony on the flat wooden deck.
*See photos below and decide which you like best.
4. Add a White Orchid Aisle scatter: ($250)
- Cover your aisle in a full scatter of white orchids.
6. Add a Bouquet & Boutonnieres. A bridal bouquet and bouquets for her bridesmaids plus boutonnieres for all the men is a pretty way to dress up your wedding ceremony. We can have our florist design the bouquet to match any inspiration photo. Prices will vary depending on the type of florals, size and design. We will get you a custom quote.
7. Add a Haku Lei for the bride, bridesmaids and flower girls - or just the bride! A Haku Lei is a handmade floral head lei designed by the florist to match the bouquet(s). See sample photos below for inspiration. Cost will vary depending on the size, type of florals and design.
9. Wrist Corsages for moms and grandmothers. A wrist corsage is a custom floral piece designed to tie onto the wrist with a ribbon. Mothers and grandmothers usually love these. I don’t have any sample photos but they’re really pretty and designed to match the bridal bouquet.
10. Tossing Petals. Your wedding package already comes with one bag of tossing petals these are used to toss in the air after you say “I do” and look really pretty in photos. They are also a lot of fun. You can add in extra tossing petals for $25/bag.
* Please fill out the Floral Decor Questionnaire form below if you are interested in adding any additional wedding florals because the florist does book up quickly. Once the form is filled out and submitted we will work with the florist to get you a custom quote. You can decide what you do and do not want once you receive the custom floral quote.

ceremony location options
There are two spaces you could choose to hold your wedding ceremony here. The first option is to have the ceremony on a grassy mound. It sits higher up and is a bit uneven but since it’s higher the view is amazing. If you have guests, it’s best to have them in chairs at the bottom of the hill. See sample photo below.
The second option is to hold the ceremony on a flat wooden deck area built specifically for ceremonies. It’s bigger and flat and about 50ft away from the grassy mound, so you can get married on the deck and then walk over to the mound for photos afterwards if you’d like as well. See sample photos below.
The two photos above show the grassy mound location. This is also the wooden round altar with silk florals $650 (and this couple choose to add in real florals as well for an extra $125 (long stem fresh purple orchids to match her bouquet). If you choose to do chairs at this location we place the chairs at the bottom fo the hill. The grass is a bit uneven, and it’s a little steeper than it looks in this photo, but the higher location gives an amazing view.
The three photos above show the wooden deck. It’s about 50 feet way from the grassy mound and a really great option if you have guests and want to be on a flat surface. Although these photos show the silk florals (white with green) plus a some real florals (purple) added in, you also have the option of doing all real flowers which would be a little more and could be designed to match your bouquet. If you’d like all real florals let us know and we will get you a custom quote.

Grooms boutonniere, pinned from behind onto the suit jacket. The boutonnieres work best when pinned into a thicker fabric like a jacket (loose fitting fabrics like an Aloha shirt) do not hold a boutonniere up well. Boutonnieres are designed to match the bridal bouquet and are about $20 each.
The classic bridal bouquet, this bouquet would be more of a standard size and about $250.
