I'm still feeling the A L O H A from Valerie and her beautiful hakus!

I just got married last month. I wanted island vibes incorporated into our ceremony without going over the top. However, it did go over the top...the top of my head! And that of my daughter, maid of honor, and best woman.

I have family on island, and initially arranged for my brother to bring back hakus for the ceremony. However, I nixed the plan as I wanted them as fresh as possible. He was arriving on a Friday for a Tuesday wedding (yes, I got married on a Tuesday).

While scrolling through Instagram for inspo, I came across her profile @hakusandlove. As luck/the force/divine intervention would have it, she was based out of Newport Beach. I messaged her on IG, Valerie replied with her website link and email address, and off we went!

Valerie included some of my favorites: red & pink gingers, plumerias, tuberose. My haku was absolutely divine - I felt like island royalty. Valerie was able to create distinct hakus for my maid of honor and best woman while still having mine stand out.

Oh, and she DELIVERS!

Much mahalos, Valerie, for sharing your aloha. Your business is aptly named.

Aloha pumehana,
Cindy
