Hawaii weddings are hard to beat for the ultimate in romance! If you are looking for a fabulous setting for your wedding, you will go a long way to beat Hawaii. Set in the ocean of romance, the Pacific Islands of Hawaii have everything you could ask for in a location for your wedding. Just like any other venue, however, you have to plan in advance, and using a professional wedding planner based in Hawaii is your best way of achieving the wedding you have always dreamed about.
There is a lot that needs to be juggled when you get married in Hawaii. You’ll need to trust other people with the flowers and cake as well as decor and setting up the venue. You can, of course, have video conferences and use photos over the internet which is very helpful and will make you feel more at ease.
Most people have no idea what is involved in getting married on an island so far away from the mainland. You have to organize the flowers, the venues for the ceremony and the reception - and if they aren’t the same, then you have the transportation between these to set up. In fact there are 101 things to get done at a time when you feel like just sitting down and crying. Most people don’t, of course, and just get on with it because they don’t have the time to think of themselves.
Then there is the wedding dress and dresses for the bridesmaids, the flower girls and the clothes for the page boys if you have them. All of that has to be transported from your home town to Hawaii! You could choose one of the many off the peg ‘ready mades’ in Hawaii when you are there to arrange the wedding, but there is no guarantee that it will fit you when you pick it up. It might fall off you because you have been slimming for your wedding!
If you mail your wedding dress to Hawaii, or the bridesmaids dress or any other of the formal wedding clothes, make sure that they are inspected on arrival and then pressed or steamed. Try to seal them when they are packed, and make sure that the package or box is clearly labeled with the contents and use a ‘Fragile’ label.
You can save yourself a lot of worry if you use the hotel that will be the venue for your reception to help out with some of the arrangements. Many Hawaii hotels offer a wedding planner to help you, and their staff is experienced in handling Hawaiian weddings. Why not approach the hotel for advice? They can provide you with names and contact information of hairdressers, beauticians, local caterers and more.
Don’t forget the photographer. Your photographer is very important and will be providing the permanent record of your wedding. The start of your marriage is very important and it should be recorded professionally. Make sure that you won’t have to rely on friends or relatives by booking your wedding photographer well in advance.
