Home » Planning Your Perfect Stress-free Hawaii Wedding

The surf pounding, dolphins frolicking in the waves, the scent of tropical flowers fill the air; you have arrived in paradise and it is time to decide which island best suits your taste for your perfect Hawaii Wedding. And let the locals help you out, they love a good party complete with ukuleles and good food.

When you go with a local wedding planner you may buy a package that includes a minister, photographer, flowers, limousine service, and hair and make-up. Compared to an average wedding on the mainland, which can cost around $20,000, getting married in the islands is approximately $2,000.00. The savings is worth the cost of the airfare and hotels and you'd have money left over. You'd already be in paradise, no need to go elsewhere to honeymoon.

With a variety of options to choose from as to where to hold the ceremony, it can be a hotel, the backdrop of a lovely beach or a powerful waterfall with mossy rocks along it's borders. On the island of Oahu there is a 5 mile long stretch of beach in Angels Bay where Pukalani Falls hosts many private weddings. The setting is perfect with the shallow turquoise sea reflecting the blue sky above.

Or if you prefer sunset there are secluded coves with large lava rocks as a backdrop against the deep blue sea and pounding surf. There is nothing more spectacular than Hawaiian sunsets to get the most artistic photographs of the ceremony.

Have you ever considered being married at sea on a catamaran surrounded by dolphins all around surfing the waves as you and you betrothed exchange vows. Well this too is possible with a 3 hour charter on a 56 foot boat, you can preserve the moment with an audio CD of the ceremony and a toast of sparkling cider to top it off. If you would like you can seal the deal with a "Marriage at Sea in Hawaii" certificate. Departure is 2 hours before sunset with a return at night. If you plan it just right, between December and April, you will be joined by the Humpback whales and their babies.

There are a variety of options when it comes to flowers and where to wear them. You might consider the traditional Ti-Leaf Maile wedding lei, a lei of your choosing or a bouquet made from pikaki, plumeria, orchid, lily, ginger, tuberose or roses. The "native" option would be to wear your flowers around your ankle.

And what could be more delicious than a cake flavored with passion fruit, guava or coconut. The cake often is adorned with flowers and for around $79.00 you could feed a wedding party of 12. Fresh tropical fruit and flowers, it just gets better and better.

The end to a perfect wedding is departing in style in your own limousine sipping sparkling cider and driving along the coast of the island, remembering every smell, sound and sight as you drive to your honeymoon destination.
