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.
When you get married in another place you have to do quite a bit of juggling and logistical management. You will not be there always to make the decisions about flowers and the cake, so you must trust someone else to do it for you. Luckily, with the internet you can video conference and send photos to make the process easier.
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 are going to mail the wedding dress and other wedding party outfits to Hawaii, do this about a week before the event. The last thing you want is for anything to be late or missing the day before the wedding. Make sure that the items are sealed properly and marked as important cargo. You will then need to arrange to have them steamed as soon as they arrive.
One of the easiest ways to plan a Hawaii wedding is to use the hotel staff where you are holding the wedding reception. Hawaii hotels normally have a wedding planner and full wedding staff on hand because they get a lot of destination weddings. They can organize everything for you.
One of the most important people attending your wedding, apart from the officiant marrying you, is the photographer. Make sure your photographer is arranged well in advance or you will be relying on friends and relatives for your wedding photographs. Also, a local photographer will know the best places for your photo sessions.
