Tips for a Maui Destination Wedding
If you have spent any time researching “destination weddings,” you probably know that Maui is an incredibly popular place to get married . . . and for good reason! It is absolutely beautiful and provides lots of fun activities and experiences for guests, as well as luxurious places to stay. In fact, some couples even have their honeymoons on Maui as well! If you would like to have your own special day on Maui, then consider these helpful tips.
Consider a Private Estate
Obviously, one of the first things you will want to think about is where on Maui you want to have your wedding. There are lots of venues to choose from, but many people opt for a wedding on a private estate.
This can be an especially good choice if you want a smaller, more intimate wedding. It is also a nice option if you want to have full creative control over everything from the food to the flowers. With the assistance of a Maui wedding planner, you will be able to incorporate everything on your wish list plus some of the magic that is reserved only for a Maui wedding.
Incorporate Local Flowers
Whether you go with a private estate or something more all-inclusive, make sure you add some true Hawaiian flair into your wedding. After all, if you have gone to all the trouble of having a destination wedding, you want it to show. An easy way to make your wedding feel more Hawaiian-themed is by utilizing some of Maui’s beautiful, natural flowers. Our floral designers can create beautiful bouquets and arrangements featuring bird of paradise flowers, red or pink ginger, protea, anthurium, orchids, or plumeria.
Try Some Hawaiian Food
In addition to adding in Hawaiian flowers, try serving up some traditional Hawaiian dishes. Local chefs all over Maui will be glad to cater your wedding for you, and your guests will love the festive fun of trying new dishes. Consider daring foods like poke, a delicious raw fish salad, as well as “safer” options like shredded pork, known locally as kalua, and local fruits, such as pineapple and mangoes.
As you can see, there is lots of fun to be had when you get married in Maui! It is up to you, though, to get the right Maui wedding coordinator to help plan properly and to add in just the right hint of “island flair” to your island wedding.
