Did you do any DIY projects or create any handmade items for your weddings?

We bought our centerpieces the day before the wedding from Costco which were made by Maui Floral. We also made my bouquet from flowers at Costco by taking different flower bundles and putting them all together.

What was the biggest thing you did to save money?

The biggest thing we did to save money was booking through Simply Eloped. They bundled our photography, leis, and officiant, and permit for the beach together and took care of all the booking and communication.

What’s the best advice you have for planning your wedding now that you’re on the other side?

Don’t stress about the little things.

What was your biggest splurge?

Our biggest splurge was my wedding dress.

What is the most memorable moment of your day?

The whole ceremony was very memorable. It was the perfect day and we had our loved ones there with us to celebrate.
