Brides have unique perspectives on what constitutes a perfect wedding, and for those who prefer the romance and chic comfort of an outdoor wedding, Upcountry Maui is an idyllic locale. Estate owner and local artist, Sharon Shigekawa, graciously agreed to host a photo shoot at her home on the rolling slopes of Kula with sweeping views of the Pacific. An intimate table is set with artful arrangements ensconced in antique silver trophies and overflowing with colorful flowers informed by the rustic ambience. A profusion of parrot tulips, lilac, ranunculuses, antique hydrangea, nerine and garden roses is accented with feverfew, peonies, poppy pods, astilbe, dahlias, larkspur and pink jasmine. Reproduction French grain sacks add panache as stylish chair covers trimmed with natural webbing and embellished with a few simple blooms. Stationery by Bella Figura embodies the understated elegance of the setting, with letterpress printing a distinctive nod to an age old tradition. Kate and Star add a sophisticated equestrian flair to the pastoral festivities.
