<span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">We’re often asked: “Which is your favorite beach to get married on in Kauai?”.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><div style="text-align: left;">
This is a complex question as there are many things to consider when choosing that perfect beach to tie the knot on, as location and distance to your hotel, hair appointment and your wedding reception venue. Also, what’s the look you want to go for in your wedding photos? Kauai provides many diverse beach locations offering rocks, cliffs and palm trees in addition to your normal beach setting...</div>

Out of all the different beaches we prefer Shipwreck’s beach on Kauai's South Shore. Not only does it offer great weather 99% of the time but it also has some added photo opportunities that many of the other beaches don’t have. We’re referring here to those stunning cliffs and those breathtaking pictures that you just don’t get anywhere else.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Ok, Shipwreck’s Beach doesn’t have those typical Hawaiian mountain ranges in the background that you get at Hanalei Bay or Tunnels Beach, but there is much less chance of rain interrupting your service, and chances are, there’ll be less people on the beach, which gives you more privacy. And as an added bonus, there is a fantastic restaurant right there on the beach that’s perfect for your wedding dinner. How much easier and carefree can planning your Hawaii Destination Wedding get?</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Tunnels Beach is located between Hanalei Bay and the end of the main highway at Kee Beach on Kauai’s North Shore. This is a stunning but remote location that adds vibrant colors and spectacular Hawaiian scenery to your wedding pictures. It’s also a famous snorkeling spot and has a camp ground on one part of the beach but don’t be turned off by that as you won’t see the camp ground in your wedding photos. But you may see the occasional sea monster, aka snorkeler... </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 9pt;">Tunnels Beach is the beach that has “Bali Hai” in the background, that beautiful peaked mountain made famous in the movie “South Pacific” and is a distinctive landmark of Kauai. The scenery here has a raw untamed beauty which will surely show in your wedding pictures. Kauai's North Shore is lush with plentiful tropical vegetation including palm trees and emerald green mountains. The other end of this beach is less spectacular but still offers some great</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 9pt;"> picture opportunities. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">surrounded by at least 2,600 miles of ocean in any direction, and that keeps us nicely temperate. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">put up with orchid inlaid. Others pin their hair back or choose a Haku lei which tends to control longer hair </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">for the bride who doesn't want to wear her hair up. Others still will use a Cymbidium Orchid hairpiece to </span><br />

<br />
<br />
There are a few simple ways a bride can choose the perfect bridal bouquet:<br />
<br />
Most brides like to look at color. You want to choose a bouquet that goes with the overall color scheme of your wedding: bride's maids dresses, flower girls dresses, reception decorations & colors....in addition to the general feel of your wedding. You would choose a different bouquet for a wedding at an upscale New York Hotel, rather than an outdoor organic event in a garden setting. The same is true for a destination beach wedding. Here the colors can be more summery and the flowers more tropical, while in the New York Hotel setting you may be looking at a more classic look in color and flower choice.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZm_j_M2oMWOiNMH07ppQ3VTRS3RsQjO6BRbdtuSIjV4NIznG4cu9QICSIDVrUfTev4DkuAt9mw29yRy2NBGKOdQkjTre15785KObb8wzCvmVmsFsq6FDC4zjR9mKKqKseA6IQr0ORPbQ/s1600/Roses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZm_j_M2oMWOiNMH07ppQ3VTRS3RsQjO6BRbdtuSIjV4NIznG4cu9QICSIDVrUfTev4DkuAt9mw29yRy2NBGKOdQkjTre15785KObb8wzCvmVmsFsq6FDC4zjR9mKKqKseA6IQr0ORPbQ/s320/Roses.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
A second consideration is fragrance: Do you enjoy fragrant flowers, or are you or your groom allergic? Every year we have some couples who specifically ask for non-fragrant flowers in both the bridal bouquet and table center pieces. If you're not allergic and enjoy the lovely fragrance that some of the flowers have to offer, you'll have some great choices like tuberose and gardenia, or in a tropical setting, plumerias and stephanotis.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUeD6h-zIyPNSJTi1KQFGdWnpZYOksgzJ_Wg1T8go9oITCrLZs7jjZ_Vmg0nFemg4ZOzvexYPpQ9MCPnjww5ot0e45dbMrqs3l7VfCU1tE6mA2lxCU9SklHJDr3AlRXX1nSBhe8uu5oy4/s1600/PurpleOrchidBouquet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUeD6h-zIyPNSJTi1KQFGdWnpZYOksgzJ_Wg1T8go9oITCrLZs7jjZ_Vmg0nFemg4ZOzvexYPpQ9MCPnjww5ot0e45dbMrqs3l7VfCU1tE6mA2lxCU9SklHJDr3AlRXX1nSBhe8uu5oy4/s320/PurpleOrchidBouquet.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Then there is the question of which style of bridal bouquet to choose. Would a hand tied bouquet be better or do you love the look of a more traditional cascading one? This is a very personal choice and our only advice on this issue is that a cascading bouquet can make a shorter bride look even shorter, just because it looks longer and bigger and may overwhelm your more delicate frame.<br />

Most brides will spend a lot of time online searching everything from Google to Pinterest to find that perfect bridal bouquet. Rest assured, any professional florist should be able to recreate whatever catches your eye and will be able to make suggestions as to which flowers may suit your occasion best.<br />
<br />
Tropical flowers will stand up to a tropical climate better than more temperate choices and vice versa. <br />
<br />
Some brides planning a tropical destination wedding like to choose interesting tropical flowers that they could not easily get back home. A lot of brides choose a simple bouquet of roses, be it in white, pink or brilliant red, but if you're traveling to the tropics why not try something tropical and fragrant instead?<br />
<br />
Whatever you choose in the end, one thing is clear: A colorful bridal bouquet will greatly enhance your professional wedding photography.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">At <a href="http://www.kauaiislandweddings.com/Pages-New/PhotoVideo.html" target="_blank">Kauai Island Weddings</a> we offer 300 Photos with our standard photography package, and sometimes we are asked: 300 Photos for a Wedding sounds like a lot. Aren't 36-100 pictures more normal?<br /><br />Well, yes, it’s true that most photographers shoot 36 to 100 images for the same price we shoot 300. It’s also true that 36-100 shots can’t possibly capture the beauty and elegance of a beach wedding on Kauai. We will shoot those 100 pictures in the ceremony alone, the most emotional part of your event. We have the bride walking onto the beach, the groom waiting in anticipation, the couple holding hands, the Hawaiian lei exchange, the blessing of the rings, the exchange of vows, the exchange of the rings, the kiss, the Hawaiian wedding song; and that's just the wedding ceremony taking only 20 minutes. After the ceremony we will spend about an hour and a half with the couple taking a variety of romantic beautiful shots on the beach. We simply can not shoot your complete event in 60 photographs, it's not possible...<br /><br />The original reason behind 36 photos was that that’s how film was sold in rolls of 24 or 36 shots, and when the change over to digital came along, many photographers just kept everything the same; although they did shoot more images, they would only tell you about them later and offer them to you at an extra cost. Every photographer we know will shoot more than the 36-100 pictures you have commissioned from them, and will try to up-sell you after you've received your pictures, letting you know that he has additional photographs that are gorgeous and you can purchase them at an additional cost. So when hiring your wedding photographer interview them well, find out about how they handle additional pictures and also inquire about copyright issues to your images.<br /><br />Even though your wedding photos are of you, the bride and groom, and you have paid for them; copyright law dictates that the photographer owns the images. Most companies charge extra for a copyright release, and this is generally for a specific image, and not the whole lot. At Kauai Island Weddings all customers get a free joint copyright to all of their images - that's a great added bonus, and it's free.<br /></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03110470971147796084noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427981710507147924.post-5861651028527897262013-01-21T23:57:00.002-08:002013-01-26T12:45:04.023-08:00How much does the average wedding in Kauai cost?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There are many wedding planners and packages to choose from, and having been on the Board of the Kauai Wedding Professionals Association for many years now, we found that the average cost of getting married will be between $900 and $1,200 for a couple eloping. This includes photography, the wedding ceremony, usually 2 complimentary fresh flower leis, and assistance with the wedding license & location.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />There are many companies that'll offer low-end packages of $900 or just below, but you'll only get a few wedding photos included in these packages, with the option of buying additional ones at a later time after the wedding. This is a good trick to get you to book at a low cost and then up-sell you after your wedding if you want the really pretty pictures that aren't included in your wedding photography package, so look out for this. We've seen packages with just 24, 36, 40, 50, or 70 pictures that seem to save you a few dollars, but by the time you'll add the extra photos being offered to you after you're wedding, you're paying more than you've originally budgeted for.<br /><br />Some couples opt for a more fancy affair, including site fees for a waterfall or other private venue, or maybe a wedding video that will be cherished for all time. Couples have many choices to customize their wedding packages to get exactly what they desire.<br /><br />Larger groups mean larger costs for photography, coordination, and the big one: the reception dinner.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03110470971147796084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427981710507147924.post-46345346465071929012013-01-16T14:53:00.001-08:002013-01-16T14:53:08.626-08:00Why you should get married in Kauai rather than any other Hawaiian Island...<br />
<span style="color: #405da0; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Kauai is the most romantic of the Hawaiian Islands and is referred to as the Wedding Island of Kauai. It's oldest island, offering the most lush scenery & beauty and it distinguishes itself by having the most beaches of all of the Hawaiian Islands - a total of 90 miles. While the Big Island refers to lava rock as "the beach", and Maui's coastline is quite narrow, Kauai has it all: tropical beaches, white sandy beaches, a black sand beach, and beaches that are mostly deserted and empty. It's approximately the same size as Oahu, but while Oahu has over 1 Million residents, Kauai has only 60,000. This is where you'll find the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, and a breathtaking stretch of coastline called the Na Pali Coast.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />

Now, some people will pay more than that and some less, however on AVERAGE that's the cost of getting married in America nowadays...except in Hawaii!<br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">At Kauai Island Weddings, we don't think you should have to spend that kind of money just for the wedding, and remember that's not including the Honeymoon or the Flights there and back. We believe we can offer you an alternative that will give you more for your money. </span><br />
