Armed with her stunning pastel bouquet, Meg was the picture of bridal perfection as she made her way to where her dashing groom awaited. Romondo was the portrait of regal romance as he stood by the swaying sea. Prepared for their Oahu Beach Elopement, these two lovebirds were breathtaking together and made our hearts swell with joy. Enjoying an intimate celebration, our fabulous new friends from North Carolina couldn’t have been any happier.

With the palm trees dancing overhead, and the ocean sparkling in the distance, this was the moment they had dreamt of. Blessed with beautiful skies, the darling duo were on cloud nine as they exchanged the vows that would find them declared husband and wife. Under the guidance of Pastor John, they made the promises to keep, the promises to last forever. This was a heartwarming moment filled with words from the heart, tears of joy, and prayers for a happy life. We were so honored to share in the joy of their celebration. Thank you, Meg and Romondo, for allowing Simple Oahu Wedding to be a part of this time in your lives. As you begin the next chapter, we wish you nothing but the best and hope to see you back on these again one day. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!!!

There are many shows, bridal magazines and blogs that help brides find the perfect dress for any occasion, but what about the grooms? Many find it challenging figuring out what to wear and to find just the right look at a more non-traditional Hawaii Wedding. Well, we are here to help you get just the right look for you! We want you to look amazing at your Oahu Wedding!

The great thing about a beach wedding is you can make it as casual or formal as you want! The main rule for grooms is to be at the same level of dress as your bride. If your bride is wearing a formal gown, khaki shorts and a button-down shirt are going to look underdressed next to her. Conversely, If she is wearing a simple cotton dress and you show up in a tux, you are going to look like you are trying to upstage her (maybe you are, but that’s between you two! 🙂

WHAT TO WEAR TIPS FOR THE GROOM

“Look Put Together, Not Super Formal”

Not every groom wants to wear a full suit on the beach, and we get it, it’s hot! So here are a few ideas for looking sharp without having to wear a full suit.

1. Wear a vest with slacks, you can go with or without a tie. For bonus points, you can choose a tie or shirt color that will coordinate with your bride’s flower choice.

2. Wear a suit jacket, but no tie. It’s nice to have the option to take off the jacket and no tie around your neck will keep you cooler!

3. Suspenders! A little retro charm to take your look to the next level, but not as hot as a vest or jacket.

WHAT TO WEAR TIPS FOR GROOMS THAT WANT TO LOOK MORE FORMAL

1. Layer – vest + suit jacket, that way you can take off the jacket for some photos but still look great!

If you are in the military, wear your dress uniform! It looks amazing in photos and everyone loves a man in uniform!

3. Break out the Tux! The tuxedo is the “classic” grooms attire and if you are on the more traditional side, or just love dressing up than this is the look for you! It does look quite dashing on the beach and you don’t have to stick to black!

OTHER STYLE TIPS FOR GROOMS

Hair: Be sure to get a haircut just before you leave home or just before the wedding if you live in Hawaii, you don’t want to look shaggy on your wedding day!  Some salons offer “grooming” for the groom, this can include a great shave and hairstyle so you look your very best.

Hands: Put the MAN in manicure, there will be close up photos of your hands with the rings on and you don’t want to be staring at that one hangnail for the rest of your life in photos. Be sure to have clean and well-groomed hands and nails as well.

Accessories: Accessories can be fun for guys too and can bring a little fun or personality to your wedding. Big Star Wars Fan? Maybe some Death Star cufflinks? Have a special family heirloom like a watch? Bring it! Maybe a pocket square with a fun print of the breed of dog you have at home, find ways to really show who YOU are in your attire.

Fit: Be sure to try on your clothing well in advance of the wedding and have anything tailored that does not fit perfectly, like too long pants or a jacket that is just a little too tight.

We know that weddings are usually all about the bride, but we want to make sure that you are the perfect arm candy for her and the more effort you put into your attire, the better your wedding photos will look!

If you have any questions about your wedding attire, don’t hesitate to reach out to us, we are happy to help!

See you on your wedding day!

-The Simple Oahu Wedding Team

With laughter dancing on the breeze, mingling with the sweet sounds of the ukulele, Ann and Khaled enjoyed an Oahu Destination Wedding to remember. Leaving their California home behind for a little romance in the islands, the cute couple were on cloud nine as they took the next steps in to their future together. Not wanting to see one another before the ceremony, this dashing groom was blown away by his stunning bride as she floated down the beach towards him. With loved ones flanking them, they exchanged the vows that would find them declared partners for life and sealed the moment with a kiss.

While the mysterious mountains held court in the back ground, the sea teased the shore beside them. With a soft cloud cover creating a dreamy scene, the lovebirds strolled hand in hand down the perfect beach and reveled in the romance of the moment. Ecstatic to begin the next chapter of their lives, they were all smiles and the joy was practically tangible. Thank you, Ann and Khaled, for letting our team capture the magic of this moment. What an honor it was getting to know you both and share in the happiness of this time in your lives. We wish you all the best in the years to come and hope you’ll find your way to these islands again one day.

Congratulations & Warm Aloha!!!
