Experience the Tahitian Wedding You’ve Been Dreaming Of

A Tahitian-themed wedding is no doubt in every girl’s dream. The colorful and dreamy wedding is being organized and planned by many Polynesian hotels. The couples can choose between the traditional occidental theme and the ancient royal ceremony theme. Although these wedding ceremonies that are being offered do not generally have a legal value, these would be very perfect for celebrating honeymoons or anniversaries.

In Tahiti, couples can choose between two packages. The first one which is the Intimate Tahitian Ceremony is celebrated beachside. The ceremony starts off with a Tahitian trio serenading the bride and the groom while they exchange tiare leis or flower garlands while at the same time being given a wedding blessing from a Tahitian high priest. The more traditional Tahitian Wedding Ceremony, on the other hand is more festive as this includes Tahitian dancers and musicians that will be celebrating the couple’s wedding through dancing and singing. Their flower adorned room awaits the couple in their room. Both packages are being offered by the Intercontinental Resort Tahiti.

If for some other reasons the couple can’t go to Tahiti, then they just have to bring a taste of Tahiti the place. An ideal Tahitian wedding is usually accented by bright and tropical colors like orange, yellow, pink, and green. The bride may pick gowns for her bridesmaids for uniformity but she can just let them choose themselves as long as these gowns look ornamental with tropical accents like flowers. Gown design should include ruffles, pleats and the like. If you are planning for an all-white gown for your guests, you may do so but be sure to give each of them large bouquets of flowers or leis as their headdress to evoke a bold and tropical style. Men may choose to wear their tuxedos or the tropical flowery shirts. Cute flower girls can wear grass skirts with matching flower leis. And as for the bride, she can either wear the traditional white gowns or that of the more tropical island attire.

Prepare something Tahitian to be offered to the guests. It can be a fresh flower lei for the ladies and a lei made of shells for the men. This is one of the usual Tahitian Wedding Tradition so be sure to keep this is mind. These flower leis are to be given to arriving guests as a sign of welcome. The place should be embellished with lots of lush and tropical stuffs like plants, various colored flowers and palms. These should be decorated with colorful lights as well.

The food should comprise of Tahitian delicacies. A luau or an elaborate Hawaiian feast should be considered. This will definitely set the Tahitian mood to everybody.  Foods may consist of roasted pigs, fried rice, and traditional Hawaiian foods. Entertainment should never be missed out. Find talents who know the traditional Hula dance or any other Hawaiian dance for that matter as there are numerous dances in different Polynesian cultures. The music should be lively yet romantic. Giveaways may be fresh or artificial flower leis, chocolates wrapped in colorful and bright satin or silk accented by potpourri or flesh flowers. Anything tropical and exotic will be a very good idea.
