The tropical island of Hawaii is famous for its popular bodies of waters and dazzling flowers (Don't forget to pick a Hawaiian wedding flower to focus your bouquets or arrangements around) with exotic colors inspired by the sun. Red, Orange, Yellow, and the likes are the colors of Hawaiian Weddings. Elvis Presley himself was fascinated by this romantic island and wrote a song about the Hawaiian wedding.

Although Hawaiian weddings are not really formal weddings, the binding of the hands by the Kahuna or the Hawaiian Sharman is the symbol of union. If you want the Ministers and priests to do the ceremony, they are not hard to find in Hawaii, in fact, there are a lot of them waiting to be called.

Are you still looking for some specific ideas? Here are a few things you can do to pull off a great Hawaiian Wedding whether or not you actually get married in Hawaii.

Hawaiian Wedding Ideas – The Ceremony

If at all possible, get married outdoors and either at the beach or in gardens that show off a lot of greenery and beautiful flowers. Accentuate the natural beauty of the location as much as you can.

Get your guests involved at the door – have someone handing out Lei's at the door and encourage your guests to wear them. If you really want to get into the theme have the people giving out the lei's be hula dancers.

Decorate with traditional Hawaiian flowers such as orchids – use these on the end of the pews or rows of seats or the petals on the aisle.

Instead of using the wedding march, walk down the aisle to the Hawaiian wedding song.

Dress for a Hawaiian Wedding. Grooms wear a traditional green lei and brides wear a long flowing white wedding gown with a ring of flowers around her head. 

Hawaiian Wedding Ideas – The Reception 

Have a Luau instead of a traditional wedding meal. If you do not want a full luau or cannot have one, serve traditional Hawaiian food such as roasted pig, tuna poke, and macadamia rice. Serve Mai Tai's and Blue Hawaiians as specialty cocktails.

Make your wedding cake a Hawaiian cake by asking your baker to use pineapple and coconut flavors in the cake or in the frosting.

Decorate with greenery, pineapples, and tropical flowers. If your wedding is outdoors, use tiki torches at night to light up the evening portion of your wedding.
