Veil
The bridal veil is a traditional yet stylish hair accessory. Bridal veils come in different lengths and shapes. Some shapes may fit your face better than others. One of the more common veil lengths worn today is the elbow length veil. This style allows you to have the formal look of a veil without overpowering your wedding dress. If you want to go with a dramatic, yet classy look you may want to consider a longer veil. The cathedral veil is one of the most formal veils, and extends 3.5 yards from the headpiece. Although these veils are beautiful, make sure that it does not take away for your dress or the overall appearance that you are aiming for on your wedding day.

Tiara
If you are going for more of a Princess feel with your wedding ensemble and wish to carry that over into your accessories, you may want to go with a tiara. After all, every princess needs her crown. Tiaras come in a variety of styles and sizes. Most of them are made with crystals or diamonds. They work well if you are looking for a simple yet noticeable accessory.

Halo
The bridal halo is also a great choice. They are similar to a tiara, but they go around the entire head. They can be simple, or embellished with crystals, flowers, or pearls. You can also wear the halo with a veil, if you would like to combine the two looks. A bridal halo can be worn with short hair cuts as well as an updo.

Bridal Comb
The bridal comb is another popular option. These are simpler than tiaras and halos because they do not go around the entire head. They are usually made with a decorative piece attached to a hair comb. These will work well with any hair length and style. They can also be used as the anchor for a veil. Combs give the look of elegance with the convenience of less hassle.

Head Band
The bridal head band is one of the less popular options, but is still beautiful. These work well for brides who want to wear their hair down for the ceremony. They can also be combined with a veil by attaching it to the back of the band, or using a veil with a comb in front of the head band. These, like any other hair accessory can be simple or elegant, depending on what you are looking for.

Bridal hair accessories are an important part of your wedding day look. You will want to take time to consider all of your options, and consult with your hair stylist. The ultimate goal is to find an accessory that accents your look rather than overpowers it.

The first step in planning a Hawaiian themed wedding is choosing the perfect location. When you think about Hawaii you picture lush outdoor landscapes full of tropical beauty. Depending on your location, this may seem like a big obstacle, but not if you think outside of the box. Check with local golf courses, parks, and if you are lucky enough to live in an area that has a beach, that is even better. You may not think of a golf course as being a “tropical location”, but many times they are beautifully landscaped, and with a few additions it works beautifully. Parks, the same as golf courses, usually only require the addition of a few tropical flowers to transform into an amazing Hawaiian site.

The wedding attire can be really fun with a Hawaiian themed wedding. Think floral prints, bright colors, and aloha shirts. Rather than have the traditional tuxedos for the groomsmen and ushers, why not go with something a little more relaxed like an aloha shirt. As for the bridesmaids, floral print dresses work beautifully. When deciding on the attire, do not be afraid of bright beautiful colors. With a Hawaiian theme, they work wonderfully. If you want to add even more Hawaiian accents, consider leis. Brightly colored leis will defiantly add a Hawaiian feel to the ceremony. If you have enough money in your wedding budget, you could even have a lei for all of your guests.

Planning the reception of a Hawaiian themed wedding can be extremely fun. Choosing to skip the traditional formal reception and going with a luau places everyone in party mood. To decorate the luau use a lot of fresh flowers. Orchids, anthuriums and gingers are all great choices. Luau tables can easily be decorated with loose flowers, or you may even want to cut some of the leis and tie them end to end, to create a beautiful table runner. Fresh tropical fruit such as pineapple also fits nicely with the Hawaiian theme, and are both budget friendly and available year round. Another way to decorate your reception is by using brightly colored fabric, with or without Hawaiian print, and sea shells. The possibilities are endless.

Food for the reception can also have a more relaxed feel. Many traditional luaus involve a roasted pig, along with several other dishes. If you are a little worried about what to prepare, you may want to look for a caterer who specializes in Hawaiian or tropical cuisine. Tropical drinks also add more character to your celebration.

If you really want to get into the Hawaiian feel, and are not afraid to be bold, why not hire a group of hula dancers and fire dancers. This will definitely be a hit. You could even have extra hula skirts available for your guests if they would like use them.

Choosing to go with a Hawaiian theme for your wedding day can be both fun and relaxing. The possibilities for decorating and entertaining are endless, and can be accomplished on both large and small budgets. Your wedding day is a day to celebrate with family and friends, what better way to do that, than with a huge party.

Choose something personalized.

Feed them. Not literally, but food does make a great gift. Whether it be a basket of snacks and homemade goodies or a box of gourmet chocolates, show them love and appreciation through food.
