The look for this setting is modern and tropical with a bohemian flair. Laniakea's open-air loggia is a sublime backdrop, ensconced in European architectural details not often encountered in Hawaii.

Linen drum shades are brought to life with exotic monstera leaves. Each glass cylinder on the table is carefully wrapped in ivory yarn and twine, with silk "love knots" adding texture and interest. Amaryllis flowers are tucked in among the candles to finish the look. A ceramic leaf ornament from the Magnolia boutique in Kahala, Hawaii acts as a place card holder.

Dozens of ivory candles and organic appointments create the warm, relaxed ambience of an elegant dinner party.

Letterpressed in wood veneer, a monstera invitation suite by Bradley & Lily Fine Stationery repeats the natural theme. Hand sewn organic cotton envelopes enclose the invitation and response card.

Katrina Nazareth of The Cake Gallery designed a fondant cake to reflect the same organic elegance of the table. Each fondant tier has its own shape and texture, evoking a free spirited charm.
