We’re going to HAWAII! Okay, in our minds… but still! This week in our CITYSERIES, we’re headed to the sunny islands of Hawaii. I know that encompasses a lot of cities and islands, but we’re going BIG this week. :)
And if your wedding is more local, you can still plan with these Hawaiian themed wedding ideas for a tropical twist to your big day.
So, whether you’re grabbing the next flight to Waikiki or you’re headed to your local beach and are giving away Hawaiian themed wedding favors, you’ll find it all right here.
As they say in Hawaii, “Ho’omaika’i” which means congratulations! :) Let’s get started.
Hawaiian Themed Wedding Ideas
First, let’s talk about the most important thing: your rings! Planning your wedding is first and foremost about your marriage, after all, so let’s take a look at some Hawaiian wedding rings to begin.
1. Hawaiian wedding rings
For your ultimate Hawaiian themed wedding, you’ll want to start with the prettiest Hawaiian wedding rings ever. You can get Hawaiian wedding rings from LovinHawaii, which will be a lasting memento of your special day. They are handcrafted FROM Hawaii and feature amazing engraved motifs. Check out their website for more options.
Next, let’s talk setting the stage for your tropical wedding with save the dates and invitations.
2. – 7. Hawaiian wedding invitations + save the dates
Look to themed wedding stationery featuring tropical motifs and elements like palm leaves, hibiscus flowers, beach scenes, pineapples, and more. Look for green colors, pops of orange, pink, or yellow for a fun and bold style.
Start with a save the date you love – like this one we like by Elly.
Or this pineapple “getting married in paradise” card by Fig and Cotton.
Or your ticket to paradise with this style by GeekInk Design.
Next, find invitations that suit the theme of your wedding and the tone of the venue. Here are some delightful options to choose from – and you can browse more styles at Minted here.
