Maui beach weddings are considered by most couples as the perfect set-up for a romantic fairy tale wedding. Its tropical blooms, rainforests, and most significantly, its amazing beaches are among the finest in the world; making it an exciting getaway for honeymooners as well.

The natural beauty of this paradise is truly an ideal setting in exchanging vows that would leave you with unforgettable memories to last a lifetime.

Makeup tips for Your Hawaiian Wedding

If you are having a beach wedding I would highly suggest using Mineral Makeup, it is the best you can get out there. It has naturally occurring SPF, the titanium dioxide and zinc oxide soothe the skin keeping out the suns harmful rays, while covering any redness or blotches. Faerie Organic minerals are great for this as they have the titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for sun protection but also have herbal com Frey (allantoin) in their formulas which helps aid in skin renewal. The mineral Veil formulas absorb excess oil keeping you looking flawless for photos. The best part about Faerie Organic Minerals is they are a *GREEN product. They are as natural as you can get in makeup and don’t use and irritating fillers making it a wonderful choice for even the most sensitive of skin.

Lip stick secrets…..If you are worried about your lipstick melting off or wearing off, here is a secret used by makeup artists. First start by moisturizing your lips, then apply foundation across your lips and blot, re-apply and repeat, then using lip pencil in a color close to your natural lip color (you do this so if lipstick does eventually wear off you are not left with the dreaded red lip lines) sketch your lip liner on your lips and fill in, then using your lip color apply (with lip brush) blot with tissue and re-apply and repeat. Now at this point your lipstick should hold up pretty well, but glossy lips always photo better than dry lips so for photos I suggest using a lip gloss or plumper. Faerie Organic’s sexy pout lip plumper is a good top coat choice as it matches all lip colors and nourishes your lips with coconut oil, vitamin e and titanium dioxide for sun protection. (after using lip gloss and photos are done you may choose to apply some powder to your lips and re-apply and blot your lipstick.)

Putting together a wedding in of itself is a difficult enough task, but trying to plan a wedding in another state is truly difficult.  For my wedding in Hawaii, we hired an Oahu wedding planner.

She was well organized and made sure that nothing was missing or overlooked.  Because of this, we didn’t have to worry about the things that most people stress about and that the only thing we had to worry about was just getting on the plane.  Thanks to our diligent wedding planner, she made our wedding worry-free.

 Weddings in Hawaii are beautiful, but – like all weddings – people have their own ideas, particularly if they’re non-natives.  Bringing the ideals of mainstream America into a land that is generally laid back can bring a bit of a culture clash.  Tuxedos for a beach wedding?  In 95 degree weather?  It may seem a bit silly, but it’s happened before. 

If you plan on having a modern wedding, it may not be such a bad idea to have a traditional Hawaiian singer and ukulele player perform the music at the ceremony or reception.  This is the perfect mixture of the cultures, audibly pleasant and brings a bit of a traditional twist to your perfect day.

How to spruce up your pictures with fantastic tropical flowers!

Beautiful fresh Hawaiian tropical flowers are the most economical way to really see a difference in your Hawaiian beach wedding set up and to spruce up your wedding photography.

This bouquet is an arrangement of deep purple and white orchids, pink anthrums (the heart shaped flowers) bright orange royal Ilima, light yellow day lillies and white fragrant tuberose (the small white flowers).

Choose any or all of these bright colors for your theme, and then anything goes. Choose purple orchid leis for your guests, and for the fresh flower cake top. Hawaii has some of the freshest most brilliant flowers in the world, grown locally so you can decorate to your hearts’ desire while maintaining your budget.

A colorful Haku (head) lei is a nice traditional touch and a great way to add vibrant color. The bride may also choose the white and green haku lei for herself and the colorful haku’s for her bridesmaids and/or flower girl.

If you are looking for a way to really accentuate your color theme without adding a lot of expense to your wedding package then I highly suggest adding fresh flower leis, you can double or even triple them for the guests and bridal party.

The traditional green leaf groom’s maile lei combined with a bright colored fresh flower lei (or even two) will add more than you can imagine to the over all look of your set up (not to mention your photography) without putting too much of a dent in your pocketbook.

Decorate your arch with long fresh flower orchid leis in any color draped over the back, and give your set up an elegant look. Try wrapping some colorful leis around tiki torches, and place them on either side of where the bride and groom stand during the ceremony. You simply can’t go wrong! There are so many ways to decorate on a budget, that’s why I LOVE using brilliant fresh topical flowers, as many as possible, this is one area where there is no such thing as too much!
