<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is the sand ceremony? One of the hottest wedding trends is the sand ceremony (thanks to Trista and Ryan). Everyone seems to have a different take on the presentation of the sand ceremony. People have also mistaken the sand ceremony as a Hawaiian tradition (rather, it has Native American origins). We think you should use this information as a resource, and personalize it so that it reflects you as a couple. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The sand ceremony is basically a nonreligious way to unify the couple instead of lighting a unity candle. The sand ceremony symbolizes the unity of the bride and groom and/or the joining of their families. The couple provides two small vials of sand (some use colored sand) to represent each person's separate lives. The groom and bride each take turns pouring his and her sand into the main jar to represent them becoming one. You can get creative with the colors of sand as well as the vials used to pour the sand. Some of our couples have used coconut shells to pour the sand into the jar or bottle, which is then used as a keepsake. We recommend sealing the top of the jar or bottle with wax. It can be symbolic to have your parents melt the wax on the top to seal the sand in the jar. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The timing of the ceremony varies, but most commonly occurs before or after the vow exchange. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are some ways to vary the ceremony. For example, if you have children, you may want to include them in the ceremony, as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Remember to tell your wedding planner that you are doing the sand ceremony during your ceremony so the table can be set up for you. The wedding planner will also communicate this information to the officiant, photographer, and videographer. You will need to provide the materials necessary to have this as part of your ceremony.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Love is the eternal force of life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Love is the force that allows us to face fear and uncertainty with courage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But although you will be sharing one life, never forget you are two separate people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cherish and affirm your differences.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Love each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Keep your commitment primary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Together you will laugh and cry, be sick and well, be happy and angry, share and grow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Grow sometimes together, sometimes separately."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"To symbolize the importance of the individuals within the marriage and the joining of two lives into one entity, 3 colors of sand will now be layered into a base."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(Trista is handed a clear jar of Pink Sand, Ryan is handed a clear jar of Blue Sand. The minister has one small clear jar filled with a Neutral color sand and a large empty jar)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Minister speaks again:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"We begin with a layer of Neutral Sand which symbolizes that the marriage is grounded."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(The Minister pours a little of the Neutral Sand into the large jar)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Then we layer the individual colors. This symbolizes that the marriage is based on the strength of the individuals."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(Ryan poured a little of the Blue Sand in first, followed by a little more of the Neutral Sand from the minister. Trista then added a little of the Pink Sand, followed by some additional Neutral Sand from the minister).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When Trista and Ryan were married, they used the following wording:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"And now we combine the colors, which symbolizes two lives joined as one together forever."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(Ryan and Trista simultaneously pour their remaining sand into the large jar until their jars are empty. The minister caps off the sand with the last of the Neutral Sand. The minister then holds the large jar up as if presenting to the wedding audience and places the jar to the side)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We discovered this wording for the ceremony at </span><a href="http://www.vibride.com/"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">http://www.vibride.com</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">_(bride)_____ and _(groom)_____, you have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings and the exchange of a kiss, and this covenant is a relationship pledge between two people who agree that they will commit themselves to one another throughout their lives. The most beautiful example of this partnership is the marriage relationship. You have committed here today to share the rest of your lives with each other. Today, this relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand one, representing you, _(bride)__ and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other representing you, _(groom)_, and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be. As these two containers of sand are poured into the third container, the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined together as one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This wording was found at </span><a href="http://iwedyou.com/html/sand_ceremony.html"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">http://iwedyou.com/html/sand_ceremony.html</span></a><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">BRIDE and GROOM you have just sealed your bond by the giving and receiving of rings and this covenant is a marital pledge between two people who agree that they will commit themselves to one another throughout their lives. The most beautiful example of this partnership is the marriage union. Today, this relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand. One, representing you, BRIDE and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other representing you, GROOM, and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be. As these two containers of sand are poured into the third container, the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined together as one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated, our prayer for you today is that your lives together would take longer than the time it would take to separate the individual grains of sand.</span><br />

Not only is it a fun and creative way to capture memories with your friends and family, but the photos make a fantastic favor for your guests!

Vintage <br />
-Some folks like the classic look and feel of a vintage photo booth. If you are looking to invoke nostalgia, a vintage booth is perfect for you. Their old school look and feel will remind you and your guests of days when these were a common site. One drawback is that they are bulky and are limited in where they can be placed. They also tend to cost somewhere in the range of $1500-$2000+ for an event. However, if you love the idea of having a classic booth and those unforgettable photo strips, then this is for you.<br />
<br />
Digital <br />
-For others who don't have their hearts set on the classic look, a digital booth may be the answer. Digital booths have the advantage of being light weight and highly mobile, and thus are cheaper, usually ranging from $1000-$1200 for an event. Additionally, these booths can create high resolution photos and can fit 8-10 people, sometimes more. If you are looking for something with a little more bang for your buck, and are willing to spare the vintage look for a more modern curtained booth design, then a digital booth may be right for you.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Black";">What to Look for in a Photo Booth Company?</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Black"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Photo Resolution <br />
-You want to make sure that the booth you choose provides high photo resolution. This will ensure the clearest, sharpest pictures. Some companies may try to charge you extra for "high resolution" photos, but there are many companies out there that provide the same resolution or better, at no greater cost.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Black"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Booth Size <br />
-Most classic booths are a little smaller inside than digital booths. Make sure you ask your classic booth provider how many people fit inside before booking with them. Typically, it's 2-4 people at a time. Digital booths have a little greater range. These booths can fit anywhere from 4 or 5, all the way to 15 people in some cases. A bigger booth usually means more money, but once again, some companies provide large booths at no greater cost than other's small booths.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Black"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Photo Archive <br />
-Some Vintage and most Digital photo booth companies will provide you with a CD of all your event's photos. You can take this and copy it, print the pictures out, and share at will. This is a great benefit if your chosen company provides this service. Some companies take it a step further and offer online password-protected galleries. You and your guests can log into the gallery with your chosen password and view all your wedding images. You will all be able to share, save, and print these pictures for usually 2-3 months after your event.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Black";">Choosing the right photo booth for your wedding is a delicate process. You want someone you can trust, but you also want to make sure the photo booth you rent meets your desires.

-Some companies will offer a booth attendant to watch over your booth. The last thing anyone wants on their big day is something extra to worry about. Be sure to choose a company that provides a trained booth attendant for your event.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Black"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Scrap Booking <br />
-Some companies will offer scrap booking options. Scrapbooks are a perfect match with photo booths. Most companies will offer double prints with this option and your guests can take the doubles of their pictures and add them to your book with a memorable note. This is a great way to create a special keepsake from you wedding.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></div></div>Hawaiian Island Wedding Plannershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17002847416644132963noreply@blogger.com37tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082709620489368843.post-63685309382791582472011-11-24T22:36:00.000-08:002011-11-24T22:36:51.200-08:00Meanings of Flowers<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span id="role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />

<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">WHAT ABOUT FAVORS FOR YOUR GUESTS? <br />
There are a variety of items you can distribute to your guests as favors. Some suggestions are traditional, and some are more creative. We hope you will find this extensive list helpful.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><u>Consumable Favors:</u></strong>Many couples are hosting a candy buffet made available to their guests at the reception.

Sand pail candles or place card holders<br />
A small tin or terracotta planter, either plain or painted, with a plant or without. You can fill it with candy, as well. You can also paint the name of the guest on the side of the pot, the table name or number on the bottom, your names and the wedding date.<br />
For a December wedding you may want to give your guests glass ornaments with the name of the guest painted on each. You can also paint your names and the wedding date. This is very inexpensive, as plain glass ornaments are usually under $1.00 each. <br />
Beach Themed candles such as pineapple candles, coconut candles, seashell candles, etc.<br />

Miniature picture frames. You can put a picture of you as a couple in it, or you can put a sheet of paper with the guest name and table assignment in it. These cost approximately $6.00 each.<br />
A scrolled parchment scroll with a poem thanking your guests for attending written on it. <br />
Little plastic champagne or wine bottles filled with bubble bath. Some are even filled with cider. The label of the bottle is personalized with your names and the wedding date. A few companies provide these, including 619-273-5695 and 800-752-2505. <br />

They affect the look of your photos, they reflect your wedding's theme and ambiance, and they affect your budget. The many terms and styles can become confusing since the options have dramatically increased. This page can be used as your guide to selecting the appropriate arrangements for you and your bridal party.</span><br />
<br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Arm or Presentation Bouquet: Also known as the pageant bouquet, feature a gathering of long-stemmed flowers cradled in the bride's arms across the inner bend of the elbow. A ribbon or bow is generally used to keep the bouquet together. Popular floral choices for arm bouquets include calla lilies, gladiolus, orchids, long-stemmed roses, delphiniums, and larkspur.</span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ballerina Bouquet: A round bouquet composed of masses of tulle or net and few flowers.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Biedermeier Bouquet: Similar to the nosegay, this European-influenced bouquet of tightly arranged blossoms. The blossoms are arranged in concentric circles of various differently colored flowers. The blooms are wired into a holder, with one flower variety per ring.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Book Bouquet: A small prayer book or bible used as the platform upon which a small bouquet is placed. The design may be composed of a small cluster of flowers or may be featured as a small cascade. Generally flowers are attached with ribbon or a small armature to prevent damage to the book.</span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cascade and Teardrop Bouquets: Sometimes called a teardrop, fountain, or waterfall bouquet, this sophisticated and elongated style features fullness and an abundance of blossoms at the top of the bouquet then tapers downwards with flowing foliage, floral streamers, or ribbons at the bottom. This bouquet can be designed very dense with flowers and foliage or can be more loosely arranged for an "airy" or "wispy" look.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Composite Bouquet: A handmade creation in which different petals or buds are wired together on a single stem to create the illusion of a giant flower. The focal area is a large flower that has been created by assembling together detached petals from numerous flowers.</span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Crescent Bouquet: A dramatic bouquet of arching flowers and foliage that extend from the center of the bouquet and can be designed to project a traditional or contemporary look. Flowers can arch from either left to right or right to left depending on preference. There are two types of crescent bouquets, symmetrical and asymmetrical. A symmetrical crescent features a balanced look with arched blossoms and foliage of the same length on both sides. An asymmetrical crescent features arched blossoms and foliage of different lengths so that one side of the bouquet is longer than the other.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fan Bouquet: A small bouquet or cluster of flowers attached to an elaborate fan.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Freeform / Contemporary Bouquet: As the name implies, this style bouquet often has flowers or greenery coming out at various angles with no specific, recognizable shape. Freeform and</span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">contemporary bouquets are most often designed with tropical flowers and foliage that have unique shapes. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Hand Tied Bouquet: Generally round in shape, hand tied styles are also referred to as clutch bouquets, Martha bouquets, and French bouquets. This type of bouquet consists of a simple gathering of flowers, which is bound and tied with ribbon with stems left exposed.</span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Heart Bouquet: A romantic, alternative shape bouquet featuring two full arched shapes at the top while tapering down to a point at the bottom of the bouquet. Typically the traditional shape, often seen at Valentine's Day, symbolizing love and romance.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nosegay Bouquet: A small, round-shaped, cluster of flowers that is typically less dense than traditional round bouquets. Nosegays often include more greenery, ribbon streamers, and are wired or tied together, or are placed in a holder</span>.</div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oval Bouquet: This bouquet is a combination of both a cascade and a round. It is elongated in shape, but features rounded shapes on both the top and bottom. Generally the bottom is narrower than the top, but the overall shape resembles an oval.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pomander Bouquet: A flower or foliage covered ball or cone suspended from a loop of ribbon.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Round Bouquet: Simple, elegant, traditional bouquet that is suitable for both formal and informal weddings. Sometimes called a "colonial bouquet," this type of bouquet does not have to be perfectly round in shape and can be designed as a tight cluster for a denser look, or loosely arranged for a more <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"airy" feel.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Single Stem Bouquet: Single stem designs generally feature a unique design element, such as an intricately wrapped stem (for a long-stemmed flower), elaborate bow, streamers, or a decorative lace bloom collar (for a shorter stemmed flower) to give the design more interest and appeal.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Basket Bouquet: Flowers arranged and carried in a shallow basket and often used in a garden or garden-like wedding setting. Most often carried by young attendants (flower girls and junior bridesmaids).</span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wreath or Hoop Bouquet: This "bouquet" is a large ring decorated or intertwined with foliage and flowers. Generally thought of as a symbol of eternity with no beginning or end.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wrist Bouquet: Technically more of a corsage than a bouquet, this style is comprised of a small floral arrangement worn on the wrist. Flowers and foliage are mounted on a small base that is attached to a strong elastic bracelet that fits around the wrist.</span></div></div>Hawaiian Island Wedding Plannershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17002847416644132963noreply@blogger.com88tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082709620489368843.post-26790522156212153552011-11-21T09:19:00.000-08:002014-02-21T00:29:23.312-08:00WEDDING INVITATIONS and SAVE THE DATES<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div align="left"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First, you may want to consider when you want to travel to Hawaii. Some like to travel during the high season, which is the most expensive and the busiest time to travel to and stay in Hawaii. The high season generally runs from mid-December through March or mid-April, and the last two weeks of December. The best travel bargains are during the off-seasons, spring (mid-Apr to mid-June) and fall (Sept to mid-Dec). Fortunately, that is also when the best weather occurs. If you're looking to save money, or if you just want to avoid the crowds, this is the time to visit. Hotel rates and airfares also tend to be lower. Although summer used to be the off-season, large number of families traveling in summer (June-Aug), have made it a more popular time to go. So, you may not get the fantastic bargains of spring and fall. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div align="left"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is pretty difficult to go wrong with selecting any of these islands, as they are all beautiful. Each island offers unique qualities, and we suggest you research them a little bit before making a decision. Here is some basic information to start your research...</span></div><br />
<div align="left"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">OAHU</span></b></div><br />
<div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The liveliest island is Oahu. It is relatively small in size, although very populated. Honolulu is the most metropolitan of all the Hawaiian cities, offering beautiful beaches, an array of entertainment locales, and various accommodations. For a quieter setting on Oahu, we sugest the windward side or the north shore. There is ample transportation available if you choose to not rent a car. To collect information in advance, here are some contacts:</span></div><br />
<div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB), Suite 801, Waikiki Business Plaza, 2270 Kalakaua Ave., Honolulu, HI 96815 (tel. 800/GO-HAWAII or 808/923-1811; www.gohawaii.com). Among other things, the bureau publishes the helpful<i> Accommodations and Car Rental Guide</i> and supplies free brochures, maps, and the <i>Islands of Aloha</i> magazine, the official HVCB magazine.</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Oahu Visitors Bureau, 1001 Bishop St., Pauahi Tower, Suite 47, Honolulu, HI 96813 (tel. 800/OAHU-678 or 808/524-0722; www.visit-oahu.com), distributes a free 64-page visitors booklet.</span><br />

<div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">HAWAII...The Big Island</span></strong></div><br />
<div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Frommer's says: </span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Big Island of Hawaii--the island that lends its name to the entire 1,500-mile (2,415km) long Hawaiian archipelago--is where Mother Nature pulled out all the stops. Simply put, it's spectacular.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Big Island has it all: fiery volcanoes and sparkling waterfalls, black-lava deserts and snowcapped mountain peaks, tropical rain forests and alpine meadows, a glacial lake and miles of golden, black, and green(!) sand beaches. The Big Island has an unmatched diversity of terrain and climate. A 50-mile (81km) drive will take you from snowy winter to sultry summer, passing through spring or fall along the way. The island looks like the inside of a barbecue pit on one side, and a lush jungle on the other.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Big Island is the largest island in the Hawaiian chain (4,038 sq. miles--about the size of Connecticut), the youngest (800,000 years), and the least populated (with 30 people per sq. mile). It has the nation's wettest city, the southernmost point in the United States, the world's biggest telescope, the ocean's biggest trophy marlin, and America's greatest collection of tropical luxury resorts. It also has the highest peaks in the Pacific, the most volcanoes of any Hawaiian island, and the newest land on earth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Five volcanoes--one still erupting--have created this continental island, which is growing bigger daily. At its heart is snowcapped Mauna Kea, the world's tallest sea mountain (measured from the ocean floor), complete with its own glacial lake. Mauna Kea's nearest neighbor is Mauna Loa (or "Long Mountain"), creator of one-sixth of the island; it's the largest volcano on earth, rising 30,000 feet (9,144m) out of the ocean floor (of course, you can see only the 13,796 ft. that are above sea level). Erupting Kilauea makes the Big Island bigger every day--and, if you're lucky and your timing is good, you can stand just a few feet away and watch it do its work. (In just a week, Kilauea volcano can produce enough lava to fill the Astrodome.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Steeped in tradition and shrouded in the primal mist of creation, the Big Island called to the Polynesians across 2,000 miles (3,200km) of open ocean. In fact, ancient Hawaiian chants talk about a great burning in the night skies that guided the sojourners to the land of volcanoes. The Big Island radiates what the Hawaiians call <i>mana,</i> a sense of spirituality that's still apparent through the acres of petroglyphs etched in the black lava, the numerous <i>heiau</i> (ancient temples), burial caves scattered in the cliffs, sacred shrines both on land and in the sea, and even in the sound the wind makes as it blows across the desolate lava fields.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Big Island is not for everyone, however. It refuses to fit the stereotype of a tropical island. Some tourists are taken aback at the sight of stark fields of lava or black-sand beaches. You must remember that it's <i>big</i> (expect to do lots of driving). And you may have to go out of your way if you're looking for traditional tropical beauty, such as a quintessential white-sand beach.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">On the other hand, if you're into watersports, this is paradise. The two tall volcanoes mean 350 days of calm water on the leeward side. The underwater landscape of caves, cliffs, and tunnels attracts a stunning array of colorful marine life just waiting to be visited by divers and snorkelers. The island's west coast is one of the best destinations in the world for big-game fishing. And its miles of remote coastline are a kayaker's dream of caves, secluded coves, and crescent-shaped beaches reachable only by sea.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">On land, hikers, bikers, and horseback riders can head up and down a volcano, across black-sand beaches, into remote valleys, and through rain forests without seeing another soul. Bird-watchers are rewarded with sightings of the rare, rapidly dwindling native birds of Hawaii. Golfers can find nirvana on top championship courses, less-crowded municipal courses, and even some unusual off-the-beaten-track choices.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">This is the least-explored island in the Hawaiian chain, but if you're looking to get away from it all and back to nature in its most primal state, that might be the best thing of all about it. Where else can you witness fiery creation and swim with dolphins; ponder the stars from the world's tallest mountain and catch a blue marlin; downhill ski and surf the waves in a single day? You can do all this, and more, on only one island in the world: the Big Island of Hawaii.</span><br />

<div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Maui is home to the famous Mercedes Tournament for all of the golf fans. With numerous golf courses, excellent restaurants, beautiful beaches, and a variety of accommodations, this island is no ka oi (the best)! Maui offers seclusion as well as a night life. It is not as commercially developed as Oahu, but developed enough so that you'll never be bored. It all depends on what you want. You can stay in Hana where it is truly "heavenly." It is Hawaii in its truest form, offering a peaceful, restful escape. The West Side is a bit busier than the South Shore, and wonderful for families. The South Shore offers more of a "resort feel," and is a bit drier than the West Side. Upcountry is beautiful and windy enough to keep the kite and wind surfers happy. </span></div><br />

<div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">KAUAI</span></strong></div><br />
<div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Kauai is the lush garden isle, with natural beauty everywhere. The South Shore is drier than the North Shore. The prettiest sunsets can be seen from Ke'e Beach on the North Shore, and Baby Beach or in front of the Beach House Restaurant on the South Shore. Don't let the occasional rain showers keep you away...remember, without rain, there wouldn't be rainbows!</span></div><br />
<div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Frommer's says the following:</span></div><span class="body"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Kauai's three main resort areas, where nearly all the island's accommodations are located, are all quite different in climate, price, and type of accommodations offered, but it's a wide, wonderful range. On the south shore, dry and sunny Poipu is anchored by perfect beaches. This is the place to stay if you like the ocean, watersports, and plenty of sunshine. The Coconut Coast, on the east coast of Kauai, has the most condos, shops, and traffic--it's where all the action is. Hanalei, up on the North Shore, is rainy, lush, and quiet, with spectacular beaches and deep wilderness. Because of its remote location, the North Shore is a great place to get away from it all--but not a great place from which to explore the rest of the island.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Lihue & Environs--Lihue is where most visitors first set foot on the island. This red-dirt farm town, the county seat, was founded by sugar planters and populated by descendants of Filipino and Japanese cane cutters. It's a plain and simple place, with used-car lots and mom-and-pop shops. It's also the source of bargains: inexpensive lodging, great deals on dining, and some terrific shopping buys. One of the island's most beautiful beaches, Kalapaki Beach, is just next door at Nawiliwili, by the island's main harbor.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Poipu Resort Area--Poipu Beach--On Kauai's sun-soaked south shore, this is a pleasant if sleepy resort destination of low-rise hotels set on gold-sand pocket beaches. Well-done, master-planned Poipu is Kauai's most popular resort, with the widest variety of accommodations, from luxury hotels to B&Bs and condos. It offers 36 holes of golf, 38 tennis courts, and outstanding restaurants. This is a great place for watersports, and a good base from which to tour the rest of Kauai. The only drawback is that the North Shore is about 1 to 1 1/2 hours away.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Koloa--This tiny old town of gaily painted sugar shacks just inland from Poipu Beach is where the Hawaiian sugar industry was born more than a century and a half ago. The mill is closed, but this showcase plantation town lives on as a tourist attraction, with delightful shops, an old general store, and a vintage Texaco gas station with a 1930s Model A truck in place, just like in the good old days.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Kahaleo/Lawai--Just a short 10- to 15-minute drive inland from the beach at Poipu lie the more residential communities of Lawai and Kalaheo. Quiet subdivisions line the streets, restaurants catering to locals dot the area, and life revolves around family and work. Good bargains on B&Bs and a handful of reasonably priced restaurants can be found here.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Western Kauai--This region, west of Poipu, is more remote than its eastern neighbor and lacks its terrific beaches. But it's home to one of Hawaii's most spectacular natural wonders, Waimea Canyon (the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific"); and farther upland and inland, one of its best parks, Kokee State Park.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Hanapepe--For a quick trip back in time, turn off Highway 50 at Hanapepe, once one of Kauai's biggest towns. Founded by Chinese rice farmers, it's so picturesque that it was used as a backdrop for the miniseries <i>The Thornbirds.</i> Hanapepe makes a good rest stop on the way to or from Waimea Canyon. It has galleries selling antiques as well as local art and crafts, including Georgio's surfboard art and coconut-grams. It's also home to one of the best restaurants on Kauai, the Hanapepe Cafe & Espresso Bar. Nearby, at Salt Pond Beach Park, Hawaiians since the 17th century have dried a reddish sea salt in shallow, red-clay pans. This is a great place to swim, snorkel, and--maybe--observe an ancient industry still in practice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Waimea--This little coastal town, the original capital of Kauai, seems to have quit the march of time. Dogs sleep in the street while old pickups rust in front yards. The ambience is definitely laid-back. A stay in Waimea is peaceful and quiet (especially at the Waimea Plantation Cottages on the beach), but the remote location means this isn't the best base if you want to explore the other regions of Kauai, such as the North Shore, without a lot of driving.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">On his search for the Northwest Passage in 1778, British explorer Capt. James Cook dropped anchor at Waimea and discovered a sleepy village of grass shacks. In 1815, the Russians arrived and built a fort here (now a national historic landmark), but they didn't last long: A scoundrel named George Anton Scheffer tried to claim Kauai for Russia, but he was exposed as an impostor and expelled by King Kamehameha I.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Today, even Waimea's historic relics are spare and simple: a statue of Cook alongside a bas-relief of his ships, the rubble foundation of the Russian fort, and the remains of an ancient aqueduct unlike any other in the Pacific. Except for an overabundance of churches for a town this size, there's no sign that Waimea was selected as the first landing site of missionaries in 1820.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Coconut Coast--The eastern shore of Kauai north of Lihue is a jumble of commerce and condos strung along the coast road named for Prince Kuhio, with several small beaches beyond. Almost anything you need, and a lot of stuff you can live without, can be found along this coast, which is known for its hundreds of coconut trees waving in the breeze. It's popular with budget travelers because of the myriad B&Bs and affordable hotels and condos to choose from, and it offers great restaurants and the island's major shopping areas.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Kapaa--The center of commerce on the east coast and the capital of the Coconut Coast condo-and-hotel district, this restored plantation town looks just like an antique. False-front wooden stores line both sides of the highway; it looks as though they've been here forever--until you notice the fresh paint and new roofs and realize that everything has been rebuilt since Hurricane Iniki smacked the town flat in 1992. Kapaa has made an amazing comeback without losing its funky charm.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The North Shore--Kauai's North Shore may be the most beautiful place in Hawaii. Exotic seabirds, a half-moon bay, jagged peaks soaring into the clouds, and a mighty wilderness lie around the bend from the Coconut Coast, just beyond a series of one-lane bridges traversing the tail ends of waterfalls. There's only one road in and out, and only two towns, Hanalei and Kilauea--the former by the sea, the latter on a lighthouse cliff that's home to a bird preserve. Sun seekers may fret about all the rainy days, but Princeville Resort offers elegant shelter and two golf courses where you can play through rainbows.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Kilauea--This village is home to an antique lighthouse, tropical-fruit stands, little stone houses, and Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, a wonderful seabird preserve. The rolling hills and sea cliffs are hideaways for the rich and famous, including Bette Midler and Sylvester Stallone. The village itself has its charms: The 1892 Kong Lung Company, Kauai's oldest general store, sells antiques, art, and crafts; and you can order a jazzy Billie Holiday Pizza to go at Kilauea Bakery and Pau Hana Pizza.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Anini Beach--This little-known residential district on a 2-mile (3km) reef (the biggest on Kauai) offers the safest swimming and snorkeling on the island. A great beach park is open to campers and day-trippers, and there's a boat ramp where locals launch sampans to fish for tuna. On Sundays, there's polo in the park and the sizzle of barbecue on the green. Several residents host guests in nearby B&Bs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Princeville--A little overwhelming for Kauai's wild North Shore, Princeville Resort is Kauai's biggest project, an 11,000-acre (4,452ha) development set on a high plain overlooking Hanalei Bay. This resort community includes a luxury Sheraton hotel, 10 condo complexes, new timeshare units around two championship golf courses, cliff-side access to pocket beaches, and one B&B right on the golf course.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Hanalei--Picture-postcard Hanalei is the laid-back center of North Shore life and an escapist's dream; it's also the gateway to the wild Na Pali Coast. Hanalei is the last great place on Kauai yet to face the developer's blade of progress. At Hanalei Bay, sloops anchor and surfers play year-round. The 2-mile- (3km) long crescent beach, the biggest indentation on Kauai's coast, is ideal for kids in summer, when the wild surf turns placid. Hanalei still retains the essence of its original sleepy, end-of-the-road charm. On either side of two-lane Kuhio Highway, you'll find just enough shops and restaurants to sustain you for a week's visit--unless you're a hiker, surfer, or sailor, or have some other preoccupation that just might keep you here the rest of your life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Haena--Emerald-green Haena isn't a town or a beach but an ancient Hawaiian district, a place of exceptional natural beauty and the gateway to the Na Pali Coast. It's the perfect tropical escape, and everybody knows it: Old house foundations and temples, now covered by jungle, lie in the shadow of new million-dollar homes of movie stars and musicians like Jeff Bridges and Graham Nash. This idyllic, 4-mile (6.5km) coast has lagoons, bays, great beaches, spectacular snorkeling, a botanical garden, and the only North Shore resort that's right on the sand, the Hanalei Colony Resort.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Na Pali Coast--The road comes to an end, and now it begins: the Hawaii you've been dreaming about. Kauai's Na Pali Coast (<i>na pali</i> means "the cliffs") is a place of extreme beauty and Hawaii's last true wilderness. Its majestic splendor will forever remain unspoiled because no road will ever traverse it. You can enter this state park only on foot or by sea. Serious hikers--and we mean very serious--tackle the ancient 11-mile (18km) long trail down the forbidding coast to Kalalau Valley. The lone, thin trail that creases these cliffs isn't for the faint of heart or anyone afraid of heights. Those of us who aren't up to it can explore the wild coast in an inflatable rubber Zodiac, a billowing sailboat, a high-powered catamaran, or a hovering helicopter, which takes you for the ride of your life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Visitor Information--The Kauai Visitors Bureau is located on the first floor of the Watumull Plaza, 4334 Rice St., Suite 101, Lihue, HI 96766 (tel. 808/245-3971; fax 808/246-9235; www.kauaivisitorsbureau.org).

<b><span style="font-size: small;">LANAI</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Frommer's says: Lanai is not an easy place to reach. There are no direct flights from the mainland. It's almost as if this quiet, gentle oasis--known, paradoxically, for both its small-town feel and its celebrity appeal--demands that its visitors go to great lengths to get here in order to ensure that they will appreciate it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Lanai (pronounced lah-<i>nigh</i>-ee), the nation's biggest defunct pineapple patch, now claims to be one of the world's top tropical destinations. It's a bold claim, since so little is here. Don't expect a lot of dining or accommodations choices (Lanai has even fewer than Molokai). There are no stoplights here and barely 30 miles (48km) of paved road. This almost virgin island is unspoiled by what passes for progress, except for a tiny 1920s-era plantation village--and, of course, the village's fancy new arrivals: two first-class luxury hotels where room rates hover around $400 a night.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">As soon as you arrive on Lanai, you'll feel the small-town coziness. People wave to every car; residents stop to "talk story" with their friends; fishing and working in the garden are considered priorities in life; and leaving the keys in the car's ignition is standard practice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">For generations, Lanai was little more than a small village, owned and operated by the pineapple company, surrounded by acres of pineapple fields. The few visitors to the island were either relatives of the mainly Filipino residents or occasional weekend hunters. Life in the 1960s was pretty much the same as in the 1930s. But all that changed in 1990, when the Lodge at Koele, a 102-room hotel resembling an opulent English Tudor mansion, opened its doors, followed a year later by the 250-room Manele Bay Hotel, a Mediterranean-style luxury resort overlooking Hulopoe Bay. Overnight, the isolated island was transformed: Corporate jets streamed into the tiny Lanai Airport, former plantation workers were retrained in the art of serving gourmet meals, and the population of 2,500 swelled with transient visitors and outsiders coming to work in the island's new hospitality industry. Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates chose the island for his lavish wedding, buying up all of its hotel rooms to fend off the press--and uncomplicated Lanai went on the map as a vacation spot for the rich and powerful.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">But this island is also a place where people come looking for dramatic beauty, quiet, solitude, and an experience with nature away from the bright lights of Waikiki, the publicity of Maui, and the hoopla surrounding most resorts. The sojourners who find their way to Lanai come seeking the dramatic views, the tropical fusion of stars at night, and the chance to be alone with the elements.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">They also come for the wealth of activities: snorkeling and swimming in the marine preserve known as Hulopoe Bay; hiking on 100 miles (161km) of remote trails; talking story with the friendly locals; and beachcombing and whale-watching along stretches of otherwise deserted sand. For the adventurous, there's horseback riding in the forest, scuba diving in caves, playing golf on courses with stunning ocean views, or renting a four-wheel-drive vehicle for the day and discovering wild plains where spotted deer run free.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">In a single decade, a plain red-dirt pineapple patch has become one of Hawaii's top fantasy destinations. But the real Lanai is a multifaceted place that's so much more than a luxury resort--and it's the traveler who comes to discover the island's natural wonders, local lifestyle, and other inherent joys who's bound to have the most genuine island experience.</span><br />
<br />
<hr /> <br />
<div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">MOLOKAI</span></strong></div><br />
<div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Frommer's says:</span></strong></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Born of volcanic eruptions 1 1/2 million years ago, Molokai remains a time capsule at the beginning of the 21st century. It has no deluxe resorts, no stoplights, and no buildings taller than a coconut tree. Fortunately for adventure travelers and peace seekers, Molokai is the least developed, most "Hawaiian" of all the islands.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Molokai lives up to its reputation as the most Hawaiian place chiefly through its lineage; there are more people here of Hawaiian blood than anywhere else. This slipper-shaped island was the cradle of Hawaiian dance (the hula was born here) and the ancient science of aquaculture. An aura of ancient mysticism clings to the land here, and the old ways still govern life. The residents survive by taking fish from the sea and hunting wild pigs and axis deer on the range. Some folks still catch fish in throw nets and troll the reef for squid.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Modern Hawaii's high-rise hotels, shopping centers, and other trappings of tourism haven't been able to gain a foothold here; one lone low-rise resort, Kaluakoi, built more than 25 years ago, is Molokai's token attempt at contemporary tourism. The only "new" developments since Kaluakoi are the Molokai Ranch's ecotourism project of pricey camping in semipermanent "tentalows" (a combination of a bungalow and a tent) and an upscale 22-room lodge on the 53,000-acre (21,448-hectare) ranch, now managed by Sheraton. The focus of both is on outdoor recreation and adventure, with all the comforts of home.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The slow-paced, simple life of the people and the absence of contemporary landmarks attract those in search of the "real" Hawaii. But what makes these visitors stand in awe is this little island's diverse natural wonders: Hawaii's highest waterfall and greatest collection of fish ponds, the world's tallest sea cliffs, sand dunes, coral reefs, rain forests, hidden coves, and gloriously empty beaches.</span></div>Hawaiian Island Wedding Plannershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17002847416644132963noreply@blogger.com38tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082709620489368843.post-13671133969477601712011-11-21T07:15:00.000-08:002011-11-21T07:15:45.002-08:00How to select your wedding location<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>HOW TO SELECT YOUR WEDDING LOCATION...</strong></span></div><br />

</div><div> </div><div> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">photo by Stefanie Riedel of Absolutely Loved</span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><div>If you could paint a photo of your wedding, what would it look like? Would it be outside in a garden setting with plentiful amounts of candles and flowers? Would it be on an oceanfront lawn echoing the sounds and swaying of the tall palms? How many guests will celebrate with you? Will they dress in casual wear, resort wear, Aloha wear, formal wear, or black tie? The possibilities for a location seem almost endless. The basics to consider are: indoors or outdoors (it's advisable to have an indoor backup location for outdoor weddings or use a tent), church, chapel, temple, tropical garden, gazebo, waterfall site, private estate, public beach, public park, resort/hotel, restaurant grounds, or a boat. When making your decision, definitely think about the weather conditions for your desired island, and find out what location can accommodate the size of your wedding. Other things to consider are site fees, travel fees that professionals may charge, amount of floral decoration, and accessibility. It is best to figure out where on the island you want to stay, then select a wedding location that is near your accommodations. For example, if you want to get married on Maui, and you want to stay at a resort in Wailea, it is not in your best interest to plan a wedding in Lahaina. They are approximately 1 hour apart, and anything can happen on the highway to prohibit access or delay access to your wedding site. If you want to have a reception with music and dancing, make sure your wedding location permits that. Many locations have noise restrictions, so it is wise to make sure what the rules are before making your decision. If you decide to rent a private home for your event, keep in mind that you will be responsible for the payment/rental of tables, chairs, linens, glassware, flatware, dishes, servers, a caterer, etc. If you decide to use a hotel or restaurant as your event location, keep in mind that most do not permit outside food or beverages, meaning you cannot bring in your own food, drinks, or wedding cake. By talking to one of our wedding consultants, you can be properly guided towards choosing the best location for your wedding. </div></span><div></div></strong><div></div></span><div></div></div>Hawaiian Island Wedding Plannershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17002847416644132963noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082709620489368843.post-22495939273238862802011-11-21T07:09:00.000-08:002012-01-19T00:04:15.577-08:00Hawaiian Style Ceremony<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div align="center"><em style="font-style: normal;"><strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.hawaiianweddings.net/faqs8.html"><span style="color: black;">What is a "Hawaiian style" wedding</span></a></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">?</span></strong></em><br />
</div><div align="left"><em><strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">The modern Hawaiian wedding is usually a combination of Hawaiian and Christian traditions. Part of the ceremony is in English, and part of it is in Hawaiian. In addition, the bride and groom perform the lei exchange ceremony. There are many other traditions that the officiant can explain to you when you discuss the specifics of your ceremony. We like to add a very special Hawaiian touch to our Hawaiian ceremonies, but only as much as our clients desire. We can add any of the following services to your wedding to make it a more traditional Hawaiian wedding, appreciating all elements of the culture.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span></strong></em></div><center> <span style="font-family: Arial Black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Kahu, </span><em style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(Hawaiian Minister)</span></em></span><br />

<div> <h3><span style="font-family: Arial;">Wedding Songs</span></h3><span style="font-family: Arial;">Both of the wedding songs heard most often in Hawai`i, were written by <a href="http://www.hawaiimusicmuseum.org/honorees/king.html"><span style="color: black;">Charles E. King</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The ever-popular "Hawaiian Wedding Song" is heard at weddings with a Hawai`i theme -- especially when sung as originally written in the Hawaiian language, as <a href="http://www.huapala.org/Ke_Kali_Nei_Au.html"><span style="color: black;">"Ke Kali Nei Au"</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">But at weddings in Hawai`i, you'll also hear the beautiful Hawaiian language song, <a href="http://www.huapala.org/Lei_Aloha_Lei_Makamae.html"><span style="color: black;">"Lei Aloha, Lei Makamae"</span></a> ("Forevermore"). You'll find these songs on the following CDs. Click on "SOUNDCLIP" to hear just the song; click on album title to view entire playlist:</span><br />

<span class="photocredit">photo by Dave Miyamoto</span></div><h1><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How to Hawaiianize your name:<br />
There are two ways to determine the Hawaiian equivalent of your name. The first is to determine the meaning of your name and then obtain the Hawaiian word for that meaning. The second, and the most common, is by the process of transliteration -- that is, to replace the letters in the English name with Hawaiian letters. This is not so easy since, as noted above, Hawaiian only has twelve letters.</span></h1><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So here is the formula:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Replace B, F, P with P<br />
Replace C, D, G, J, K, Q, S, T, X, Z with K<br />
Replace H with H<br />
Replace N with N<br />
Replace L, R with L<br />
Replace V, W with W<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="photocredit">photo by Tori Rogers, Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners</span></span></strong></span></div><h1><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When you see a wedding venue transition from a blank palette to a beautiful, picturesque celebration, it is easy to see the parts that make the whole. You get to see the before and after, which can be enhanced with the ease of linen. Linen changes a room into something fantastic and impressive. </span></h1><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Most of the time, banquet facilities (including hotels, resorts, reception halls, &restaurants) entice you with linen covered chairs and fancy table linens to attract you to their venue. However, keep in mind that those are usually EXTRAS. Typically the chairs are unattractive, overused, and uncovered, and the table linens are VERY basic. It is not necessary to rent new chairs for the room. In fact, you can help your photographer by creating a colorful display at your reception. Chair décor is not what it used to be. It has evolved into an industry unto itself. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>There are many styles of chair covers and many sash tying techniques. It is wedding fashion! </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>The ease and convenience of renting the covers and sashes from a company means they set it up, they take them down, and they clean the items. Some couples prefer to purchase their own (either from linen companies or from web sites where brides sell their wedding linens) and hire someone to set them up. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><br />
Below are some links to companies from which you can purchase your own items, companies in Hawaii from which you can rent the items, and some information regarding the various ways to tie your sashes. </strong></span><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Purchase:</strong></span><a href="http://www.chaircoverfactory.com/"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>http://www.chaircoverfactory.com</strong></span></a><br />

</div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every bride should be pampered on her wedding day...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hair: (remember to have clean, dry hair from the night before and to wear a button down shirt or robe)<br />
It helps to bring a photo of how you’d like to wear your hair. It is also a good idea to schedule a trial session with your stylist on a celebratory day before your wedding day to ensure a seamless beauty session on your wedding day. Many brides like to have this done on the day of their rehearsal dinner. Brides with short hair can still have updos and fancy styles using hair extensions. And, WE know who can make your hair look fabulous on your wedding day!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Makeup Application: Whether it be traditional makeup, airbrush makeup, or a combination of both, we know all of the right people who can provide this special service for you. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Manicure: Your hands will be visible in almost every wedding photo, so make sure your nails look beautiful. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pedicure (remember to wear your flip-flops </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Massage: We can arrange for this to take place in a spa, salon, or in your own hotel room/condo! We know massage therapists who specialize in a variety of techniques, including Lomi Lomi massage, a healting stone massage, or a de-stressing deep tissue massage. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Facial: You will want to have smooth skin for your wedding makeup session. The best way to get that smooth skin is to exfoliate every week. Get facials regularly starting 6 months before your wedding. Papaya Enzyme Masks are great for exfoliation. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">When people think of Hawaii, they think of beautiful beaches. Many wedding magazines display beautiful photos of beach weddings that inspire brides and grooms to follow the beach wedding trend. Beaches in Hawaii are handled a bit differently from beaches elsewhere. Most beaches are government property, even those fronting Hawaii's hotels and resorts. They are not private and people will be frolicking on the beach, even during your wedding. Most people are respectful, but they cannot be forced away from your site. However, rules and restrictions apply, so be sure to learn about those before planning your wedding on a public beach. Although beach weddings present special issues that you would not normally consider at a traditional wedding venue, careful preparation and planning will help to eliminate any unpleasant surprises that may occur otherwise. We hope this proves to be a helpful resource to create a beautiful and joyous beach wedding experience..</span> </b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">COSTS: </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Sometimes a beach wedding can be less expensive than a traditional wedding. Be sure to collect estimates for both scenarios and compare. It may be necessary to pay additional delivery fees, permit fees, and set up fees. It is best to select a beach that offers a pavilion or similar structure that will shelter your food and guests at your wedding. Most rental companies will not set up tents on the sand. However, they will set up tents at beach parks on the grassy area, if the government permits it. Keep in mind that you will need to provide lighting, which may require the rental of generators for electricity. You can use tiki torches, but the tropical winds may keep them from staying lit. Battery operated lighting works wonders at a beach setting. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">TONE OF YOUR WEDDING:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> A beach wedding can be a casual affair. It allows everyone to relax. Your guests can dress comfortably and affordably. A beach wedding allows you to involve everyone in the activities. Guests are not restricted to sitting quietly in their seats. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">CONVENIENCE:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">The ceremony and reception can all be held right there on the beach. No need to travel to different locations. This is very convenient for everyone. If you decide to have children at your wedding, Check to see if parking and bathroom facilities are available. Note how accessible they are from your wedding location.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">CREATIVITY:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">A beach wedding provides an opportunity to be creative with your wedding theme and setting. Some of our clients have incorporated a very casual beach theme involving flip flops for all of the guests as favors, beach balls, a volleyball game, and a clambake. Others have created a simple elegance of flowing fabric and lighting. Your budget will determine just how far you can go with your creative visions. Your wedding coordinator will help you adjust your budget to accommodate your beach wedding dreams. </span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="paraheaders"><b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Timing</span></b></div><br />
<div class="normaltext"><b><span style="font-family: Arial;">The beaches and beach parks are very popular venues, so make sure that other events are not taking place at your wedding location. It is best to have your wedding on a Hawaiian beach on a weekday, when locals are not using it for their family picnics, barbecues, and fishing adventures. A little tip: when vacationing in Hawaii, every day is a weekend day for you. Also, many wedding professionals charge less for their services on a weekday. Be sure to check the tide chart so that you set up at an appropriate distance. You certainly do not want the unanticipated waves to wash away your wedding. Lighting will affect your photography and your guests' comfort. Check where the sun will be at the time of your wedding. It is in your best interest to make sure there is shade to protect your guests and food by providing beach umbrellas, parasols, canopies, tents, and/or hold the event in the beach's pavilion. Perhaps there is a cluster of shady trees under which you can have the ceremony. We discourage receptions under the trees due to the amount of uninvited creatures that will be using them, as well. </span></b></div><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">WEATHER/BACK UP PLAN:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Hawaii is a wondrous tropical paradise, complete with lush green mountains, an abundance of flowers and plant growth, and tall swaying palms. This is part of what attracts us to the islands to get married. Unfortunately, the rain that is required to maintain this beauty may cause some disappointment on your wedding day if you are not adequately prepared. The most important thing to remember when planning a beach wedding is that you have a PLAN B. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">OTHER PRODUCTS OF NATURE:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Be prepared for the wind to blow sand around, so protect your guests and your food. The wind and crashing waves may also make it difficult for the guests to hear the most important element of your wedding---the ceremony. Be sure to ask your coordinator and involved wedding professionals for advice regarding sound for the guests and for your video. The seagulls and other uninvited creatures might be interested in your wedding events, as well, so be prepared. Perhaps some citronella torches and candles to keep away the mosquitoes?? You may also want to supply sunscreen and bug repellant for your guests. Keep garbage cans on the outside perimeter of the wedding site so that the creatures stay away from the actual festivities. </span></b> <br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">RULES TO FOLLOW:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Make sure you check with the parks and recreation department regarding the rules and regulations of the beach location of your wedding. Ask about the following: Can you have candles on the beach? Can you play music into the night? How late can you stay? Is there an area nearby for open fires should you choose to barbeque? Can you set up a tent and rentals (tables, chairs, etc.)? Are you permitted to section off an area? What type of beverages can be served? Is glass permitted, or is plastic required?</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Chairs may sink in the sand if you do not rent flooring to place under them. However, if you are planning a "beach blanket" reception, you will not need chairs. It is also important to consider the needs of your guests with special needs. Plan for their safety and comfort. You will need to provide them with chairs and beach umbrellas to protect them from the elements. They will also need assistance accessing the wedding site and facilities. Be sure to keep an abundant supply of water and beverages to keep hydrated. Keep a first aid kit on hand to assist the adventurers and explorers at your wedding. There are many shells and pieces of coral and lava that can easily cause injury.</span></b> <br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">The most important item to consider is that you should go with the flow of the day. Regardless of the extensive preparations you consider and put into effect, unexpected things will take place. Just treat these wedding imperfections as memories instead of mistakes. Enjoy and cherish every moment of this very special day! After all, the most important part of your wedding is you, so celebrate each other. Everyone will follow your lead.</span></b><br />
