If you are planning to say "I do" in a tropical paradise, here are a few helpful hints:

* Choose a hairstyle that will still look beautiful in humid conditions.
In Hawaii, we experience trade winds too, so a sturdy 'do' will lessen your stress!
* Bring heels and sandals for different photo ops.
We've found that personal "props" like a football or parasol make for a fun album with lots of variety!
* With plenty of wedding day white, ensure vibrant photos by introducing color.
This is particularly important on Hawaii's pristine, white sand beaches; many of our brides opt to line their aisles with beautiful flower petals and adorn their guests' chairs with flowing organza sashes.
* Be sure to have water available for yourself and your guests.
Nothing gets the celebration under way like a beach bar for others while you say "cheese"!
* Consider shade options nearby for the less sun-tolerant.
Our favorite location provides sand and trees against a beautiful backdrop of surf and sky. For yourself, apply an SPF 15 (at least) bronzer for a sun-kissed glow that will keep you from enjoying your honeymoon as a lobster!
