The Big island
Eamon and Keely, both grew up in Hawaii and wanted to create a three day event that shared their love of one another and their island with closest friends and family.
A love letter to Hawaii
Hawaii's Big Island is an island with two climates. The westside is vast and wet with many incredible local flower farms. The east side is dry and covered in incredible lava rock.
Sourcing almost entirely from the islands we choose flowers native to the land.

Hibiscus
in Bloom
WELCOME PARTY
Imagine a flower that blooms for only 24 hours with colors so dynamic and a scent so intoxicating a single bloom can transform an entire event.
Hibiscus blooms throughout the year all across Hawaii's islands. A quintessential tropical bloom so synonymous with Kona.
We wove hybrid hibiscus through palm inflorescence and foraged cactus.
Lei-makers created the most incredible lei of puakenikeni and ginger flower that moved through each arrangement like dragon scales.
Lit at night the installation was transformed to an epic DJ jungle dance party.
