WELCOME PARTY: “Aloha Friday”
Aloha Friday is more than just a day to dress down and relax. It's a celebration of Hawaiian culture, values, and the spirit of togetherness. Over time, Aloha Friday became a symbol of Hawaii’s laid-back lifestyle and “Aloha spirit,” emphasizing love, compassion, and a connection to the natural world.
We would like to invite everyone to our Welcome Party in their best “Aloha Friday” attire. Think Hawaiian shirts, sundresses, and sandals!
CEREMONY/RECEPTION: “ISLAND FORMAL”
*Our wedding will be in the early evening, so think a formal occasion, but island style! When in doubt, err on the side of elevated!*
For men, the most common outfit includes a button-down shirt, slacks or chinos, and a suit jacket or blazer. Any suit would do, but ties are not required! You’re welcome to wear black, but we’d also encourage any other colors, and breathable fabrics like linen. A button down shirt would also be appropriate. No shorts or flip flops, please!
For women, think dresses of any length, dressy jumpsuits, or dressy separates! Feel free to break out the floral prints and fun colors! Wedges, block heels or dressier sandals are encouraged. Please note you will be mostly on grass and walking on concrete for a short distance. If you want to bring a wrap for the later evening, it might be safe to pack one!
*CEREMONY WILL NOW BE ON GRASS ONLY, NO SAND!*
FAREWELL BRUNCH: Casual
To conclude our wedding weekend, we are inviting our guests to stop by Kumukea Beach for a small, casual continental breakfast. Think of stopping by to share a cup of coffee, mimosa, pastries, fruit, etc. with the bride and groom! No specific attire required!
