Destination Weddings in Hawaii

What could be more romantic than a tropical wedding in Hawaii? These ethnically diverse islands have a unique culture and stunning natural beauty. The 'Hawaiian Wedding Song', made famous by Elvis in the film 'Blue Hawaii' is usually sung at the marriage ceremony. A Hawaiian bride will wear a long white dress, called a holoku, and a garland of fragrant island flowers, the haku lei, replaces her veil. The groom will also dress in white, with a red sash tied around his waist and a garland of flowers around his neck.

One of the most romantic features of your Hawaiian wedding is the exchange of rings with your names in Hawaiian engraved upon them. The feast which follows at your wedding reception is a chance to savor the delicious cuisine of the isles, which is accompanied by fresh tropical fruit.

The most populous and developed of the Hawaiian islands is Oahu, home to the capital Honolulu, and the coastal city of Waikiki. Both of these urban centers have lively nightlife, a plethora of water sports to discover and white sand beaches. Head out into the countryside, and you will discover beautiful valleys, mountains and pineapple fields.

The island of Maui also offers great beaches, surfing and snorkeling. It is made up of two extinct volcanoes divided by a central valley. The first of these, Haleakala, is the largest dormant volcano in the world. A hike across the moonscape crater floor is an unforgettable experience, as is watching the sun rise from the rim.

Verdant Kauai is known as the 'garden island', and is home to Mount Waialeale, allegedly the wettest place on earth. Its rainforests provide a stunning backdrop to idyllic beaches. The 'Big Island', Hawai'i, is the most geographically diverse of the Hawaiian isles, where you will be able to admire the spectacle of both active and dormant volcanoes, and the largest cattle ranch in the world!

The romantic Hawaiian islands are home to numerous natural delights, a unique culture and welcoming people. Why not celebrate your love with a tropical Hawaiian wedding?
