Romantic Ideas

There is nothing more romantic than standing barefoot on the beach, hand-in-hand and hearing those magic words, "I now pronounce you to be . . . " And how sweet that kiss will be! Maui provides the perfect backdrop to make your wedding fantasy into a reality. Just by taking the step of coming to Hawaii for your special day, you are setting the tone for a marriage "made in paradise."

Your Romantic Maui Wedding -- Every month many couples arrive on Maui for a vacation with no intention of getting married. But the beauty and romantic atmosphere here overwhelms them and they are suddenly compelled to call us, wondering if it is possible to put together a romantic last minute wedding.

Whether your wedding is a last moment affair or a well-planned event, Maui Me knows what you need to tie the knot with your beloved and also those things that will make your experience something you'll remember fondly all your lives.

The more time you give us, the more likely we can get all of the things you really want. But if your wedding is last minute, don't worry, we'll still make certain that you get priority treatment.

Some last-second callers ask us, "can you give us a quick, simple wedding at a low cost?" Yes we can. We can also help you think through all those little decisions that will make your wedding ceremony so much more enjoyable for you both.

Take flowers, for example. Women cherish flowers because those fragrant blossoms tell her how her man feels about her.

Yet many bridegrooms foolishly want to eliminate flowers at their wedding. Bad idea. (If you can't afford to give your bride some flowers, you probably can't afford to come to Maui.) You don't have to be elaborate or overdo it, but you do want to make a romantic STATEMENT to your bride about how much you cherish her. And few things say that better than flowers.

We find that couples who come just by themselves (sometimes even suggesting that the family "stay home") often experience the most romantic union. Whether you are a "runaway bride and groom" or bringing along your family and friends, you deserve to have the most romantic wedding possible.

It is important to build up your relationship. Because you want this union to last the rest of your lives, you want to make certain that you "do it right", allowing lots of time for just the two of you to focus on each other.

Those Little Romantic Touches -- Just being in Maui with its beautiful beaches, tropical breezes and the sounds and sight of the magnificent ocean, provide a romantic ambiance for your wedding celebration. There are so many little things that you might want to think about to enhance that special moment when you are looking into each others eyes.

Dove Release -- Doves mate for life, hence the significance of releasing to of them and allowing them to soar away together, only to have them return to their original nesting place. It might be a beautiful and symbolic enhancement for this your special romantic occasion. Maui Me will supply your doves in beautifully decorated white wicker baskets and you can have two or two dozen if you wish.

Those Butterflies of Love -- Butterflies have long symbolized major life changes. They may be released using a variety of styles. If the wedding is outdoors each guest may hold a butterfly resting in a tiny decorative box, making a wish for the Bride and Groom and releasing them during the kiss.

For more intimate ceremonies just the Bride and Groom may wish to release them. A mass release of two or three dozen butterflies from a hanging aviary at an outdoor reception is spectacular. A butterfly release in any style is sure to delight each guest and is a perfect way to add a touch of magic to this very special day. Many times they will seek out your flowers and stay with you for a few photos as these did in the picture above.

Dinner on the Beach for Two -- If you want to be treated like a king and queen, add this spectacular dining experience to your special day. Imagine your own personal chef cooking your favorite meal, with the table setting fit for royalty. As the sun goes down and tiki torches flicker, the gentle wind blows through your hair as you savor each morsel of the deliciously prepared meal. Romance is truly in the air.
