For many people, Hawaii weddings are the ultimate way to tie the knot, and the Pacific Ocean is the perfect location for a wedding. The obvious reasons are indeed obvious - the fabulous climate, the great beaches, the exotic setting and the unbeatable Hawaiian welcome. Then there is the fabulous food, the entertainment and simply the fact that you are in Hawaii. Most of all, however, there is the romance. Nevertheless, the best way to organize a wedding in Hawaii is to seek the services of a professional.
Any destination wedding takes a lot of planning and Hawaiian weddings are no different. Simply getting everybody there on time is hard enough, but then you have the catering, the dress, the bridesmaids’ dresses and even the priest to get organized. And don’t forget the reception venue and the photographer and … miss out even one of these, and you will be left looking a bit embarrassed. Luckily the internet can help you.
You also have to organize flying the wedding party out to Hawaii. You will need to arrange accommodations and make sure that everyone get there at the right time and to the right place. This means you have to plan the airline tickets in advance and ensure that transportation is waiting to collect everyone from the airport.
You have no time to relax or do anything but make sure that the wedding dresses and those for the bridesmaids are delivered on time to the right place. If you have page boys or flower girls then their clothes also have to be selected and their delivery assured. You could save a lot of that by purchasing an ‘off the peg’ dress, but why do that if you want your dress designed as you want it? In any case, it might not fit you when arrive to collect it.
If you get your dresses made at home, then ship them over in carefully packed boxes sealed in plastic. They should also be steamed beforehand. Ensure they will arrive on time by shipping them well before the wedding. Mail them to someone you trust to hold them for you.
When planning Hawaiian weddings, it is advisable to speak to the staff of the hotel where you are holding your reception. If you are staying there overnight you should speak to them and get to know them. They will then be more amenable to helping you out when you have a problem, such as the best local wedding planner (the hotel can also likely help) or any other issue you have with your wedding.
Another thing you should consider is using a local photographer. They know the best areas and will be able to offer advice as to where you’ll want to do your photo sessions.
