Flowers make a wedding

The most popular flowers in Hawaii are Plumerias, Orchids, Gardenias, Tuberose and Pikake. The colors and fragrance engage our senses and carry us into a time beyond past and future. A bouquet for the bride, a boutonniere for the groom's jacket, and floral arrangements set the mood for your wedding photography and video production. Flower bouquets should be ordered on-line in advance to have them ready for your ceremony for your Maui Wedding day! A lei exchange is a Hawaiian tradition. We include two leis in all of our Wedding Packages. Add the Hawaiian touch with long, rich green Maile leis, optionally entwined with flowers. Or perhaps, a Haku?

The Haku is a hand-woven headpiece of greens and flowers, worn like a crown. If you decide to wear a hair flower, it should be placed over the left ear. In Hawaii, this means you are spoken for. Let us know your color theme if you wish and we will pass it on to the best florist on Maui. You will not be disappointed. Don't forget to have flowers for your attendants and leis make great gifts for your guests.

When considering our choice for a florist

We use a professional. A professional florist provides so many services: the behind the scenes work that we never see, conditioning and storage of the flowers so that they will look their best throughout your special day, careful transportation to your ceremony and reception sites, and professional set up. Your florist will design a bouquet that matches your personality, and which also suits your figure and coloring. She/he will also instruct you how to hold your bouquet so that you and the flowers your best.

Our choice of a florist will affect your photos

Our photographer also has an interest in your engaging a good florist (who arrives well before the photographs are scheduled to start). I have seen beautiful light and settings lost because of floral delays: the florist, a friend of the family, was late, perhaps because he/she hadn't realized how long it would takes to prepare that many bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and centerpieces. Or the boutonnieres arrive without labels, or without pins. Or, the volunteer florist puts the boutonnieres on the wrong lapel, or upside down!

Consider how floral design and placement will affect your guests and photos

For example, tall centerpieces can create problems for guests and photographers. The arrangements may look gorgeous when you enter the reception, but once the guests are seated, tall centerpieces get in the way of people seated around the table, affect speeches, group dynamics, and interfere in any candid or formal photographs done at the table.
