A Hawaii Wedding: Getting Married In Paradise

January 29th, 2010 by admin Leave a reply »

Hawaii, with its beauty, exotic nature, and romantic scenery, has always been a very popular location not only for weddings, but also for renewing wedding vows, and taking honeymoons. This trend towards destination weddings has continued to grow with an ever increasing number of couples seeking an unusual, different, and perhaps more idyllic, wedding experience.

Selecting a location for a Hawaii wedding can often times be hard to do. Some people like the idea of remote locations, while others prefer resorts for their special event. A remote wedding means privacy, but it can also mean difficulties in travel for your guests unless if they rent cars or arrange for rides. Having a wedding at a resort on the other hand is often times more simpler, with several resorts offering all-inclusive Hawaii wedding packages which take care of the arrangements for you. But, having a resort wedding means it is less private.

More couples are taking advantage of Kauai wedding packages. Kauai is the fourth largest Hawaiian island and possibly the most beautiful, with central mountains, large waterfalls, and beaches that rival any in Hawaii. Since there are few flights from the mainland directly to Kauai, an additional plane fare is frequently required for the bride, groom, and guests.

Hawaii’s natural outdoor beauty lends itself to a more tranquil setting than a church for a wedding. Brides typically wear dresses of lighter weight than the classic wedding gown. It is common to see the groom in a Hawaii wedding sporting khaki pants with an Aloha (Hawaiian-print) shirt. The couple may even go barefoot or wear plain sandals. Flowers are abundant in many tropical varieties. The nuptials are commonly officiated by a non-denominational professional instead of a church-associated clergy person.

A Hawaiian beach wedding is definitely pretty, but the reception at a Hawaii resort is one of a kind. Many recently-weds transform their reception into a traditional Hawaiian luau, which mainly features roasted pigs and traditional hula dancers. Music in a luau does not matter – solos from ukuleles, guitars, harps, string instruments: everything is welcome. As well, having the event on the beach allows for romantic bond fires and dances.

When you are planning a wedding, there are many options and choices available to you. But any couple about to tie the knot should consider a Hawaii wedding package. Hawaii is known for its beauty and its stunning locations. There are also many qualified wedding planners in the islands who are well-experienced in helping couples, coming to the islands from out-of-State, plan and organize their dream Hawaiian wedding.
