Wedding Decor: Vintage Hawaiian Theme

I love the playful, laid-back style of this vintage
Hawaiian-themed wedding. The Knot's Real Wedding couple, Yvonne and Bill, wed on a plantation in Maui, Hawaii
and incorporated old school tropical flavor with unique twists.
The Details...
Mokara orchids
in orange, red, and yellow filled the bride’s bouquet and accented the simple
three-tiered cake -- but rather than typical bride and groom toppers, they used his and her ukulele players. In lieu of centerpieces, the couple stacked
woven lauhala leaf boxes decorated with orchids in the middle of the table. Each box was filled with Hawaiian cookies and doubled as the favors.
What I Love...
My favorite idea from this kitschy wedding is the vintage Hawaiian
postcards. The couple pre-stamped each one and asked guests to mail them a
special note -- weeks after the wedding they still received reminders of their
wonderful day.
