Circular with Greenery

This stunning gold circular wedding arch was custom made specifically for this wedding by Rio Event Design. The couple envisioned a matte gold arch in the form of a circle, delicately adorned with Hawaiian foliage including palm and monstera leaves with touches of ivory roses interspersed. As you can see, the arch turned out absolutely beautiful and the couple dancing under it during their romantic couples photos are some of our favorites from their day!

Tropical Paradise

For the couple that envisions a modern tropical vibe, an arch covered in tropical blooms is perfect for those wanting a traditional Hawaiian themed wedding. This look is modern yet still lends the feeling of lush, tropical, Old Hawaii.

Classic Romance

For the couple looking for a classic, romantic feel we love the look of loosely draped greenery with touches of light-colored blooms like roses, anthurium and orchids to add a subtle touch of Hawaiiana into your decor.

Seasonal Shades

Just because we don’t have sweater weather here in Hawaii doesn’t mean we can’t design a fall-themed wedding. This half-circle wooden wedding arch incorporates fall toned flowers and greenery with contrasting textures that we think definitely evokes a warm feeling of fall, but also comes with warm breezy weather and a gorgeous backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.

Completely Customized

We are always open to creating something completely customized if you have something very specific in mind like this couple did. They requested a hexagon-shaped arch made of wood with asymmetrically placed floral decor in sweet shades of peach and blush. We think this look turned out absolutely beautiful and these two architects loved the final result as well!
