In this heartfelt episode of A Dream Wedding Maui, I sit down with Kayla and Armando—an amazing couple who celebrated their dream wedding on Maui with a ceremony at Sacred Hearts Mission Church and an unforgettable reception at Olowalu Plantation House.

Together, we reflect on the design-forward planning process, a week full of activities for their guests (including a catamaran sail, golf course welcome drinks, and a sunrise bike ride down Haleakalā!), and even a flower mishap that turned into a beautiful win thanks to communication and trust.

We talk about:

• 
  

  How they chose Maui and what made them fall in love with Olowalu

  
  


• 
  

  Planning a destination wedding with full-service support

  
  


• 
  

  Creating an elegant design that felt timeless and Hawaiian

  
  


• 
  

  Why it's worth planning multiple events during your wedding week

  How vendor synergy and a solid planner made all the difference

  The unexpected moment when bouquets needed a redo—and how we fixed it fast!
