Hawaiian Wedding Dresses and Wedding Gowns





Hawaiian Wedding Dresses and Wedding Gowns
Holoku, the native Hawaiian wedding dress
These floral prints are incorporated in the wedding dresses, together with a fusion of timeless silhouettes, and enduring, simple fabrics. Brides that want a marriage that is not traditional, but conventional enough choose these. This is where these island inspired gowns come in, while there are still a number of brides who are content with traditional, all white flowing wedding gowns, complete with train, bonnet, and all the other conventional trimmings. The holoku, which is the wedding dress for the Hawaii bride, is native to the island of Hawaii. This bridal gown looks fabulous in all colors, ranging from elegantly white, to ecstatically black. The holoku compliments most body types, and can be worn to the loose or fitted, though with the loose version, it sways in the wind for a perfect beach scene!
Wedding dress styles
Some women look flattering these gowns coupled by a ceremony held at the beach, with racy ruffles at the bottom. The other style favored by Hawaiian brides is the dress made to the mermaid style, which is made to complement the bride figure or form, featuring a bottom with a wider edge, and a figure hugging silhouette. Other varieties are made up of halter gowns, several styles of spaghetti strap styled bridal gowns, and strapless bridal dresses. A Hawaiian wedding dress must speak of the island's romantic and tropical character, such as the radiant beauty surrounding motif on a black gown or dress, utilizing such bright colors as yellow, green, and red, being highly desirable. Subtle or pale colors also work well for these gowns, with shades of pale blue, pink, green, yellow, combined with patterned leaves or delicate flowers make up a spectacular choice of a bridal dress.
Wedding dress accessories
Accessories are important to the overall wedding attire, and to that end, lei can enhance any Hawaiian marriage dress. This accessory is made from delicate shells and silk flowers, and popular versions of lei shells consist of Ni'ihau, puamana, and koa shells. Jewelry may be crafted out of mango wood, freshwater pearls, shell strands, kukui nuts, and pearls, which go hand in hand with beautiful and tropical marriage dresses. Other options for wedding dress accessories that are open to the Hawaiian bride are paper parasols, decorations for the hair using sweet smelling and island beautiful flowers, decorative air fans, hair combs that are delicately placed in the hair, and marriage veils that are in different flower motifs.
