When planning a luau party, make sure you have mini umbrellas for your cocktails, lays for every guest to wear, and party fans for a giveaway. Make sure to create luau themed desserts for all your guests, like shell shaped cookies and cupcakes with bright flowers. From details to centerpieces and decor, this shower theme can easily be achieved!

How would you plan a luau?

Small French Veils or Birdcage veils are a great option for brides that want a small veil.  They are more versatile than many think… you can wear them fully covering your face, or maybe just swooping over one eye.  There are many options…

Adding accessories to your net veil is another great option.  You can add feathers, jewels, flowers, etc…  The great thing about a small net veil is that it’s just subtle enough to be noticed.  Strange how that works, huh!?!

Think about placing pinwheels in your floral bouquets or giving them away as a wedding favor. You can also decorate the reception and ceremony areas with them. Even use them as the groom’s boutonnieres! No matter what you decide to do with them, your guests will love them!

If you are having trouble finalizing a wedding color palette, my suggestion is to turn your wedding into a white party. A monochromatic white wedding is very chic. White weddings tend to be more upscale and luxurious in atmosphere.  However, there are ways to make a wedding in white seem more laid back, if this is what you are looking for. That’s the wonderful thing about the color white; it goes with everything!

If you are going for a luxurious look, try white roses as the wedding flower along with white feathers. If you would like a simple, relaxed wedding, think about having white daisies and white wild flowers.

When trying to think of creative ways to make roses exciting on your wedding day, consider using roses in both the traditional ways and in new details for your wedding day. Roses can be added to your hair to add a sense of whimsy and romance. They can also be added on your shoes (as shoe clip) for an added fashion couture look. Some other lovely ways to incorporate roses on your wedding day can include having your flower girl sprinkle whole roses instead of just the rose petals, this will add a little more romance to your day.

For more ideas on using roses in your wedding day just look below:

One of the best things about being a bride is being able to pick out the shoes for the most important day of your life. This may sound funny to most, but for shoe lovers, this is a very serious and exciting task! There are so many stressful moments when planning a wedding that picking out your wedding shoes seems like a day at Disney Land.

Brides have so much freedom when picking out wedding shoes, why not pick out a pair of shoes that have a little pop? Consider adding texture and pattern to the classic white wedding shoe. Polka dots, stripes, lace, flowers, there are so many possibilities! What pattern would you choose?

If you are thinking about doing this easy DIY wedding project, all you would have to do is go to your nearest craft store for all the supplies. Pick up some sheets of moss, paper mache or wood letters and a glue gun. It’s that easy! When starting this project, think about it as if your were wrapping a gift, lay out your sheets of moss and glue it to the letter. Carefully wrap the moss around the letter, gluing when needed. Trim with scissors. (Yes, it’s that easy!)

It’s all the small details that set one wedding apart from the rest. One detail that most brides over look are her shoes! No, I do not mean buying the perfect shoes. I mean decorating the perfect shoes! Brides are personalizing their shoes by decorating the bottom of their soles with drawings, written messages… even including a little bling!

Think about putting you and partner’s initials on the soles of your shoes. You could even have your family and bridal party write sweet messages on your shoes. The best part of it all, in the years to come, your shoes will have a story to tell.  Your shoes will turn into a wonderful keepsake from your wedding day!
