Hawaiian Theme Wedding
Decoration Ideas For A Hawaiian Wedding
A Hawaiian wedding theme is for the romantic, yet casual couple.
Hawaiian-style weddings are typically decorated with bright colors,
palm fronds, tropical flowers, and accents from the beach.
You can easily personalize this theme by including some personal
touches to your wedding decor. If budget is a concern, you can save
money on many of these ideas by creating them yourself.

Shindigz.com for large selection and low prices. Look for 'luau'
under the 'Theme parties' menu item. For more online merchants, please visit our

Hawaiian Beach Colors
The Hawaiian Islands inspire the color choices for this beach
wedding. Popular choices include sea blue, aquamarine, magenta, and
canary yellow. You don’t have limit yourself to these suggestions
though. Look at a travel brochure pertaining to the Hawiian Islands
for some inspiration. When you decide on your color choice,
double-check with your florist to be sure flowers of those colors
will be available during the season of your wedding.
Aloha Invitations
Welcome your guests to your wedding by sending out unique Hawaiian-style
wedding invitations. Palms trees on a beach are popular with several
wedding stationary companies. You could also choose to use a
hibiscus or orchid motif for your invitations. If you have trouble
finding just the right invitation, consider creating your own with
some brightly colored paper and the help of a computer publishing
software or stamps.
Tropical Wedding Ceremony Decor
Your Hawaiian wedding theme will fit into almost any setting,
whether it is at the beach or in an elegant cathedral. The types of
flowers you decorate with will be the fundamental to creating the
right mood, so work closely with your florist to come up with
bouquets evoking that romantic Hawaiian feel.
To create a tropical bouquet with a tight budget, mix palm
fronds, hibiscus, or orchids with more traditional flowers like
freesia, gladiolus, and stephanotis. You can also decide to use leis
in place of bouquets and boutonnieres.
You should include lots of tropical greenery in your ceremony
area. Check with your church or clubhouse to see if they already
have this type of greenery, and you might be able to save a few
dollars on your decorating budget.
Luau Decoration Ideas
Carry your Hawiian wedding theme to your reception by using flowers
and Hawaiian decor. Your table centerpieces can be a simple bouquet
set on tablecloths made of Hawaiian print fabrics. Or you could use
pineapples, coconuts, and mangoes with some tropical flowers and
candles tucked in.
Be sure to use your wedding favors as part of your decorations
too. Palm tree picture frames can be used as name cards, or
incorporate tropical fish candles at each person’s place setting.
Carry through with your Hawiian wedding theme with your buffet
and cake table decorations too. Serve your food on platters with a
layer of palm fronds, and use hollowed out pineapples or coconuts to
serve dips or sauces. And your cake topper doesn’t have to be the
traditional wedding bells. Instead, decorate your cake with sprays
of orchids.
When picking decorations for your Hawaiian wedding theme, be
consistent in choosing items that have a tropical romantic mood.
Also be sure that your colors flow from your wedding invitations to
the wedding ceremony, and finally to your reception. And most of
all, enjoy the wonderful day that you have planned and created.
