Avoiding Disasters on Your Maui Wedding Day
So you’ve decided to walk down the aisle in Maui. That’s a big decision and an exciting one too! And, while you’ve chosen a beautiful locale for your big day, there are a few risks and downsides to be aware of. However, you can keep these potential negatives from affecting you by planning ahead and knowing what disasters to avoid!
Always Hire a Local Hairstylist
As you probably already know, Maui is absolutely beautiful. However, it’s also very humid, and there can be unexpected rain showers and even trade winds. All of this can spell disaster for your hair! As such, be sure and choose a local hairstylist, one who is used to working in Maui and who knows its weather-related challenges and how to guard your hair against them.
Get the Groom to Go Dark
These days, lighter-colored suits and ties are very en vogue for men. However, when getting married in Maui, these colors can sometimes appear faded and become easily upstaged by the beautiful, natural setting. Thus, to make the groom stand out, opt for darker colored attire. Whether it’s a black suit, a navy suit, or even a gray ensemble, these darker colors should create more visual contrast between the groom and his surroundings, especially for outdoor weddings.
Order Your Flowers Ahead of Time
Don’t make the mistake of ordering your flowers at the last minute! You’d be shocked at how many brides believe that their favorite Maui flowers will be available at any time. Then, you have those who purposefully order flowers at the last minute, thinking this approach will guarantee them the “freshest” flowers.
Know that most flowers, even the ones Maui is known for, have to be shipped in, which takes time. Plus, any good florist would never give you less-than-fresh flowers, no matter how far ahead of time you place your order. In fact, ordering at least six weeks in advance ensures your flowers will arrive in time and that you’ll be able to get the exact flowers you want. Even if they do arrive a little bit early, your florist has ways of keeping them fresh and perfect until the big day!
As you can see, it’s very easy to make a major mistake when planning your Maui destination wedding. However, if you can keep these helpful tips in mind, “go local” as much as possible when preparing for your wedding, and keep a calm head no matter what, your wedding should go off without a hitch!
