The origins of the wedding veil date back many centuries and are deep rooted in many cultures across the world. One of the first dates back many centuries when it is said the groom would ‘capture’ his bride by throwing a blanket over her. Other origins have the veil covering the bride’s face so that she couldn’t be seen before the wedding ceremony and was common in arranged marriages. Probably the most popular and familiar story relating to wedding veils is they were worn to protect the bride from evil spirits.

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.

When you get engaged, there will be lots of parties and events in your honor. The first of these is typically the engagement party. This fun bash is a party hosted by the bride’s parents to celebrate the news of the engagement.
The engagement party should take place fairly soon after he pops the question. Usually somewhere between one and four months. If you hold it fairly soon after the engagement becomes official, this gala can be when the announcement is officially made to your extended circle of family and friends. Keep in mind, though, that just as with a bridal shower, anyone invited to the engagement party should also be invited to the wedding.
