SUGAKO JOHNSON

OWNER, LEAD DESIGNER

Hi, I’m Sugako.

Congratulations, and thank you so much for being here.

I am truly honored to be considered as your wedding planning partner and look forward to learning more about your celebration.

At Bliss Bridal, I specialize in multicultural destination weddings, thoughtfully bringing together different cultures, traditions, and families in a way that feels natural, seamless, and meaningful. With over two decades of experience planning weddings since 2002, I’ve had the joy of planning and coordinating more than 600 successful celebrations.

Being bilingual and deeply familiar with Japanese, American, and local Hawaii cultures allows me to support each couple with sensitivity, understanding, and personalized care. I make every effort to honor each client’s preferences, style, budget, background, and family dynamics while creating an experience that feels thoughtful and genuine.

My approach balances elevated design with meticulous planning and warm hospitality, ensuring every detail is not only beautiful, but intentionally curated for both you and your guests.

My goal is simple: to guide you through the planning process with calm support and thoughtful expertise while creating a celebration that feels effortless, refined, and truly reflective of your story.

More than anything, I hope your wedding in Hawaii becomes one of the most meaningful and joyful experiences of your lives.

I look forward to creating something truly special with you.

Love Story

I had a serendipitous encounter with my future husband, Harry, at Sandy Beach during a short vacation trip with my girlfriend in February 1997. Our love story blossomed, and in November 1998, I made the life-changing decision to move to Hawaii to marry him.

Travel Agent

During my time working as a travel agent in Japan, I had the incredible opportunity to plan and execute a Thailand trip for my mother's choir group. It was a momentous occasion as my grandma obtained her first passport to join the adventure, creating unforgettable memories for our entire family.

Greece

Out of all the countries I've explored, Greece has captured my heart and become my recent favorite. From its picturesque islands to its rich history and delicious foods, Greece gave our family an opportunity to make fun memories.

YouTube Watcher

It's no secret that I have a slight addiction to watching random channels on YouTube. Whether it's discovering new hobbies, learning intriguing facts, listening to old Japanese pop music, or simply keeping up with the latest news, YouTube serves as a delightful source of relaxation and amusement for me.

Blessed Mother

Motherhood has been an invaluable journey for me, as I am blessed with two wonderful daughters named Jessica and Mia. Through raising them, I've discovered the true meaning of love and have come to see my children as my greatest treasures and the legacy I leave behind.

DIY Success

Alongside my husband, I took on the challenge of DIYing our condo remodeling project. One of our proudest achievements was installing a brick wall in our living room. I love my brick wall!

DOG LOVER

We absolutely adore our furry friend, Cherry, our half Pug and half Jack Russell companion. On weekends, my husband and I often drive around the island with Cherry and soaking up the sun at the beach or watch the sunset together.

FOODIE

I love exploring diverse eateries and discovering new chefs regularly. Honolulu, a haven for food enthusiasts, offers an exquisite array of dining experiences. From casual local Hawaiian food to the artistry of Sushi, I enjoy them all!
