Last week on Instagram we declared Haiku Mill one of our favourite wedding venues on the planet. A European-inspired setting in Hawaii, it just so freaking enchanting, charming, beautiful and romantic (check out this elopement we featured there earlier this year).

And, as if by magic (but mostly by coincidence) we’ve got an enchanting, charming, beautiful and romantic wedding from that very venue, to share with you guys today.

Lan and David’s destination celebration, captured by Anna Kim Photography.

With the most painstaking planning, Lan left no detail untouched, transforming an already-special venue into a fairytale backdrop filled with luxe textures, pretty florals, and an abundance of candles, string lights and sparklers.

From collecting vintage stamps to sourcing a shaved ice-vendor, Lan & David’s day was personalised from start to finish.

Scroll down to see their traditional tea ceremony, their idyllic vows, their abundance of (delicious looking!) cocktails and their breathtaking reception under the stars.

David proposed at the top of Haleakala in May 2015 after watching the sunrise.

We woke up at 1am to start the drive up the volcano, and after spending an hour shivering in our coats, watching the most gorgeous sunrise while I took photos non-stop.

The sunrise was over, and I started to pack up my tripod and was about to head back to the car when David pulled out a ring box and asked me to marry him.

David is a pilot (so are his parents, and uncles) – I purchased many vintage San Francisco, vintage Hawaii, vintage roses, and vintage California stamps.

I handmade all of the tea ceremony invitations myself, using supplies purchased at craft stores.

The invitations were on gold paper, the front of it had an embossed gold “double happiness” letter. I tied the A2 paper trifold using gold ribbons, and sealed with a red “double happiness” wax seal! I even hand lettered the invitations using calligraphy – our guests couldn’t believe I made them.

I also designed the “reserved” signs for the ceremony, and designed and crafted the shaved ice menu.

I hand lettered all of the dessert labels using calligraphy and created the gold ink for lettering myself. I had taken several modern calligraphy classes and this gave me a chance to practice and show off my skills.

I also designed our entire wedding website from scratch. It’s been many years since I designed a website, and while it was a ton of work, I was able to create a modern, chic, and customized wedding website which included a form that guests used to RSVP which automatically populated a spreadsheet.

This made counting the meal selections and transportation logistics infinitely easier.
