Wedding budgets are a tricky thing. Getting married is a once in a lifetime event, and knowing how much money to dedicate to the momentous occasion is a challenging task. Having a wedding planner provide their expertise is a significant step in creating a budget.
Do you have a flower that you’re absolutely wild about? Maybe it’s native to the place where you’re having your wedding. Maui, with its gorgeous, tropical flowers, is a perfect example. Or, perhaps it’s just a flower that you’ve always loved. No matter what the case may be, many people love having a flower be front and center in their wedding design. If that describes or could describe you, consider these fun ideas for incorporating your favorite floral option into your big day.
Of course, your favorite flower should go into the bride’s wedding bouquet. That’s just a no-brainer! However, consider fun ways to jazz things up. Perhaps the flower you love comes in different variations or styles or can be dyed different hues. You could do a whole bouquet with different versions of your favorite flower. Or, for an understated but beautiful effect, you could carry a single flower down the aisle. Remember, too, that it's’ not just the bride and bridesmaids’ flowers that matter. The groom and groomsmen can easily pop a favorite flower into their boutonnieres
Centerpieces are also a great place to let your preferred flower shine. Decorate each table with a vase full of your favorite flowers, or, similar to the simplistic option above, just place a single flower on each table. You could also create colorful or decorative centerpieces using fresh or dried versions of your favorite flower along with other materials.
If you really love a particular flower, make its colors the colors of your wedding. That way, you can easily use the flower anywhere and everywhere while knowing for certain it will match your decor and color scheme.
Finally, remember that your wedding cake can also show off your favorite flowers. Whether you go for real flowers or have the baker create faux versions, your cake can easily showcase the bloom that makes your heart blossom!
For many people, wedding flowers can be a lovely and meaningful accent. If you feel strongly about a specific flower, don’t be afraid to go all out. Try these and other ways to incorporate it into every aspect of your wedding.
Who is sporting some new bling? The holiday season is well known for taking the first steps toward that “happily ever after” . While you may still be basking in the glow, it may be the perfect time to begin some preliminary decisions. One of the most important ones, is where to tie the knot. If tropical weather, beautiful landscapes and unmatched venues excite you, you may want to consider a wedding on the island of Maui.
There are few places on earth more beautiful than Maui, making it a picture-perfect wedding locale. However, you should know that a destination wedding is a lot of work and requires some careful planning on your part. If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, though, you definitely can have the Maui wedding of your dreams.
First things first, be aware that destination weddings can get quite pricey. That’s not to say that they have to be expensive, but they can be if you’re not careful. Thus, before you start planning, set a realistic, reasonable budget. That way, as you check out venues, consider special services, and plan for travel costs, you’ll know where you can splurge and where you need to cut back in order to stay within your budget. This is the most surefire way to plan your dream wedding without breaking the bank.
Speaking of saving money on your big day, consider having a beach wedding! It’s the perfect way to enjoy a beautiful destination wedding without the huge price tag of a fancy venue. On Maui, though, you will need a special permit for your wedding, and your guest list needs to be at 30 or less in order to qualify (this includes your vendors). If that works for you, then start planning early! The process of getting a permit and booking a beach can take a little time.
As a final tip, make sure you “go local” when it comes to choosing your vendors. It’s way too expensive and complex to hire people outside of Maui and then try to transport them to here. Don’t worry! You can interview Maui vendors over the phone or chat online to ensure you’re making the right choice. Plus, these professionals are going to be familiar with Maui and its unique challenges and thus better equipped to work with and around the realities of a tropical island.
A Maui wedding can be as wonderful as you’ve always dreamed, but only if you put in some work and planning on your own. However, by following these helpful tips, you’re off to a great start!
