It all starts with your wedding arch! Gorgeous tropical flowers placed gracefully onto your wedding arch will set the tone for a breathtakingly beautiful tropical wedding in Maui. Using locally sourced flowers such as protea and palm leaves helps to create that modern tropical look that comes to mind when you think of a tropical island wedding in paradise!

2. Tropical Flower Lei

You know how we feel about the Hawaiian Lei Exchange! It’s such a beautiful way to incorporate a touch of Hawaiian tradition into your tropical wedding here on Maui. Adding tropical wedding lei such as white tuberose for the bride and maile lei for the groom is the perfect way to add a tropical touch to your Maui wedding.
