Oahu Dream Weddings

Floral Set-Ups

There's really nothing better than the natural beauty of Hawaii's beaches and ocean as your background. But, it is nice to create a "sense of place" for their ceremony and uniquely Hawaiian feel.

You can order just the Tiki flower set-up, just the Orchid circle lei, just the Orchid flowers individually, or all combined for the set-up shown above.

Unfortunately, we can do the Tiki set-up at Waialae/Kahala or Magic Island. The circle lei and/or spot flowers cannot be used on all locations.

Note: As per our DLNR permit, outside non-ODWS ceremony site decorations are not allowed.
 

Archs and Chairs
 

We do not suggest spending money on this. Why? They won't make your photos any more special and it's overly costly. Your money is better spent on things that create lasting value like, more photos, video, musician, flowers, cake and toast service and pretty much everything else we offer.

Consider these points:

1). Chairs and arches are prohibited on all Hawaii beaches as per beach permit regulations. They are available at Magic Island and fronting Waialae Beach Park.

2). The ceremony is only 12-15 minutes long. We just don't think the cost is worth it.

3). It transforms and complicates a simple beach wedding into something thats, costly and complicated.

4). A set-up limits your location options to specific spots at those beach parks which may not be the best for scenery or lighting.

5). You have no control of public areas. Simply, any set-up you see on other websites, may or may not be "open" on wedding day. Worse, if there's maintenance trucks, coconut tree trimmers, sunbathers, fishermen, swimmers, or people just hanging out in your background, you can't simply move the whole set-up or face in another direction.

6). If there's a big unforseen event or rain at your locations it's impossible to divert to another location.

7). On anything other than a flat beach, arches, gazebos, and chairs just look crooked. Plus, chairs in the sand are not the firmest of things to sit on.

8). Half of your guests will prefer to stand anyway or under shade if available! LOL.

9). Why have your guests sitting in the hot sun and take a chance of all of the above being possible.

We've done our ceremonies with 30+ guests without any set-up or chairs and it works really well. Spend your money on something of real lasting value!

Finally, if your dream is to have a ceremony set-up, chairs, arch, etc. our best advice is to pay a hotel or private estate to do your ceremony and have it on their lawn. They're grounds are set-up for that sort of thing, they can make changes in the event of inclement weather, and of course, they will charge you significantly more!
