Welcome to a {Weekend Wedding} in Hawaii!

Welcome to Hawaii!  This couple fell in love with the easy going mentality and exotic atmosphere of Hawaii.  So, they opted for fun Hawaiian themed wedding.  The bride wears a beautiful custom halter neck wedding dress from Whirlingturban that is accented by a flowing strapless bridesmaid dress in a floral pattern also from Whirlingturban.  The ceremony took place on a local beach with a breathtaking water backdrop, decorated with brightly coloured flowers and pineapples.  The reception took place outside so the guests could take in the Hawaiian sunset.  The tables were draped in simple but elegant linens and were surrounded by palm trees and beach torches.  The guests enjoyed some of the couples' favourite tropical drinks like pina coladas and mai tais.  The guests indulged in a slice of a white three tired cake covered in sugared plumeria flowers.  At the end of the evening, everyone took home token of the couples' gratitude packed in a palm box.    

{It's the Little Touches ...}

For a Hawaiian wedding, you really have to use the island flowers to your advantage.  Tuck a colourful hibiscus into your chair covers to give your Hawaiian or Hawaiian themed wedding the tropical touch.

Stuck on ideas for Hawaiian themed wedding favours?  Pineapples are delicious and make the perfect Hawaiian themed guest favor.  Plus they make great table decorations!   

Check out these fantastic ceremony decorations!  A little bamboo, some orchids, bright colours and voila!  Hawaiian beach ceremony perfection.

{What to Wear Wednesday} Destination Hawaii!

Good evening everyone and welcome to {What to Wear Wednesday}  Destination Hawaii!
This week is all about Hawaiian Destination and Hawaiian themed weddings!  Any wedding in Hawaii should definitely evoke the feel of the sun, the sand, and the water that brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to its shores every year.  Let's take a look at some fabulous Hawaiian inspirations!

{Bridesmaids' Dresses}
For a Hawaiian or a Hawaiian themed wedding you and your girls should really get into the spirit!  A floral print, which is not always a favourite for bridesmaids dresses, really works with this theme.  Play around with different patterns and even different colours to make each girl's look unique!

All three dresses from Whirlingturban.

Tired of seeing bridesmaids wearing the same colour?  Want something more unique?  Try the same dress with FOUR different colour options!  The flowing silhouette and the floral print of these dresses by Davids Bridal are perfect for a beachy Hawaiian wedding.

{Groom's & Groomsmen Attire}

Let's face it, Hawaii is HOT!  So, for your Hawaiian groom and his groomsmen, ditch the stuffy and sweaty suit jackets and go casual.  Simple short-sleeved button up shirts in solid colours or floral patterns paired with sleek pants in tan or khaki beat the heat AND look fantastic!  Or, if you still want the sophistication of a suit, opt for comfy breathable fabrics like cotton or linen and cool colours like tan, white, or beige.

Tomorrow will be {Table Top Thursday}, so be sure to check in for some Hawaiian inspirations!
