Tropical Weddings: Hawaii Theme
For brides who dream of a wedding on the sand, a Hawaii theme
wedding is perfect. This theme can be done effectively on or off the
beach.
Brides are no longer required to travel to the beach in order to
enjoy a Hawaii theme wedding. However, it is most appropriate to
do an off beach Hawaiian wedding during summer months. By keeping
the wedding simple and relaxed, you can create a Hawaiian wedding
anywhere.

A Hawaiian wedding is a laidback and enjoyable event. Therefore
everything included in the wedding should appear casual and fun. The
wedding attire is a good place to start when planning a Hawiian
wedding. The bride should opt for a simple dress of any color.
Brides can choose whether or not to wear a veil.
For a beautiful look, the bride can choose to wear her hair down
with a tropical flower tucked behind her ear. The attendants should
also wear simple dresses of a pastel or bright color. Hawaiian
flower print dresses are also a beautiful option for attendants.
Brides should stay away from using too much black for Hawaiian
wedding attire. Most tropical weddings are full of red, orange,
yellow, pink or purple.
Attire for men should follow the same rules. Beige or white suits
with pastel or colorful shirts would be a great idea. To keep the
theme, there should be no tuxedos. Men can wear ties if the wedding
is more formal or at night, however for a casual wedding, ties are
not required. For a very casual wedding, the groom and his wedding
party can wear tropical shirts, khaki pants and sandals. This is a
fun way to capture the relaxed feel of a Hawiian wedding.
To keep the bouquets in sync with the rest of the wedding, they
should also be simple and tropical. The bride’s attendants can carry
a single tropical flower, with the bride carrying a few more than
her attendants. The flowers can be carried freshly cut, or their
stems can be wrapped with simple ribbon.
Floral decorations for the ceremony should be colorful and vibrant.
Tropical flowers and plants should be abundant, creating a cozy
Hawaiian vibe. Guests should receive leis when they arrive. Ushers
and greeters can even meet guests with an “Aloha” for a proper
welcome.
A good idea for ceremony music is an acoustic guitar player. A
ukulele player would be perfect, but probably difficult to find for
an off beach wedding. The music should be soft and happy. Hawaiian
weddings have a less serious mood to them and the music should
coordinate.
For the reception, a tropical steel drum band would be ideal. For
those who like to dance the night away, a tropical band could be
hired for the first hour of the reception, when everyone usually
chats and eats, and a disc jockey could take over for the rest of
the evening.
The menu can include many types of food. Seafood can be included in
different dishes as well as tropical fruits. Pineapple hams or
roasted pigs are popular for this wedding theme. Lobster and crab
are also widely used. For a simpler menu fresh fruits and a variety
of cheese dishes can be used.
By planning a simple Hawaii theme wedding, brides can stay relaxed
and enjoy their special day. The laidback feel of a tropical wedding
will also surround the guests allowing them to have a great time. Hawiian theme weddings can create beautiful memories the bride and
groom can cherish forever.
