The best Hawaii wedding flowers to include in your floral arrangement

Have you ever dreamed of getting married in a world of exotic settings, vivid colored flowers, and beach vibes, far from the stress and chaos of the metropolis? It’s almost extraordinary how Hawaii always seems to come to mind when fantasizing about a tropical beach wedding. Maybe it’s because of the white-sand beaches, the turquoise waters of the ocean, or the perfect tropical climate. Or maybe it’s because every time you think about this island, that beautiful signature flower Hibiscus pops into your head.


This tropical island offers an explosion of fresh flowers with iridescent colors: large glossy leaves, red heart-shaped anthurium, ambrosial pikake, tropical palm tree leaves, and purple orchids. While Hawaii boasts an abundance of vibrant flowers year-round, the most fragrant and distinctive ones are kept for the bride to hold.

In case you’re thinking of eloping to Maui, give your ceremony the warm, tropical, and luxuriant zest by including some of these Hawaii wedding flowers that will simply blow your mind.

 

 

Hibiscus

Let's start with this pretty flower as the most representative of the flora that represents this island. In fact, the yellow hibiscus is considered the state flower of Hawaii. It symbolizes the honor of the ancestors and the love for one's land.

When it comes to marriage unions, the hibiscus flower has a meaning of beauty, both abstract and physical. This piece of delicacy comes in many colors – from vivid pink to tender white. Undoubtedly, it will be an exceptional addition to your Hawaii wedding bouquet.


Orchids

Although not nearly as fragrant as the other sweet-scented marvels on this list, orchids are a popular choice for adding color and shape to your ceremony. These nature’s wonders come in any color on the spectrum, but white orchids, with their border-bright shine, are the most popular pick since they symbolize purity, eternity, and ever-lasting love. Brides who prefer to wear a Haku – a crown or headband made of fresh flowers – often choose pink as a reflection of femininity and sensuality. These most exotic and exquisite Maui wedding flowers bloom in blue, representing tranquility, harmony, and peace.

 

Plumeria

Another of the most enchanting Hawaii wedding flowers is the plumeria. Even though it is not native to Hawaii, it is one of the best-known flowers on the island. Its intoxicating fragrance often used to make perfumes and scented candles, makes it stand out from the rest. This velvet-leaved colorful, peculiar flower will liven up your tropical wedding bouquet and make you smell amazing.


Pikake

Pikake, as the symbol of romance, is a variety of jasmine grown in the softest white color and the sweetest smell. Although many multi-petaled pikake varieties exist, most florists use the single-flowered variety when making a Hawaii wedding bouquet, as its petals don’t fall as easily. Lei makers often string the white, ovular shoots of pikake, a look reminiscent of the clean lines and classic appeal of a string of pearls. The perfect combination of tropical spark and elegant finish for the bride’s look!


Bird of Paradise

These one-of-a-kind Maui wedding flowers, with strong stems and leaves in striking orange and blue colors, are native to Hawaii and a real work of nature’s art. Their bird shape would be a unique addition to your tropical bridal posy. For the Hawaiians, this flower is called Li'ipoe, which means a little world. Their presence commemorates nature and the beauty it protects. Let your Hawaii wedding photographers capture this exotic beauty so you can never forget the uniqueness of your bridal bouquet. 

The Lei flower garland

Lei is the Hawaiian word for a necklace or crown. This necklace can be made with natural and fresh vine and fern leaves. Among the flowers used, the best known are plumeria, orchid, maile, and lehua. You can also use other elements such as feathers, fabrics, shells, or anything that has meaning for your tropical beach wedding. The Hawaii wedding flowers are joined with a special technique - sewing with a needle through the center of each flower or making three different chains of flowers and intertwining them together. Wearing a Hawaiian lei will make you feel the aloha spirit and the island's beauty.


The most remarkable Hawaii wedding bouquet

If you are one of those brides who strive for a pop of color in the bridal bouquet, consider going with vibrant purple orchids and magenta roses with a splash of orange-hued flowers. To create the most fascinating tropical wedding bouquet, include a red-blooded anthurium in combination with the bird of paradise for a spiky-striking look.

For brides who prefer a rustic boho theme, a cascading bouquet with a slight fall will be the ultimate selection, including lush tropical leaves, soft beige roses, and white and yellow-centered plumerias. You can also use succulents, grand Hawaiian palm tree leaves, or some unique Naupaka florals.

Florals are meaningful detail that adds style to any celebration. When loaded with meaning, it adds the perfect touch not only to the floral decor but also to the look of the biggest protagonist of the special day – the bride. Including a touch of originality has become a trademark of bridal bouquets for such a special day, which requires creativity. The choice for a unique, unrepeatable tropical wedding bouquet is immense when organizing a Hawaiian ceremony.
