Food and Drink for the Hawaiian Themed Wedding

Aloha is the traditional Hawaiian greeting. Why not bring the feel and taste of Hawaii to your wedding as you welcome your guests with flower leis.

Consider a Hawaiian island inspired menu. Ask your caterer to prepare a luau menu complete with a full roast pig or whole baked mahi mahi. You can garnish the main courses with cut up pineapples and coconuts. Fresh whole pineapples and coconuts make great decorative accents, too.

Many caterers will be able to offer you a Hawaiian themed menu and some will be able to create a full luau styled event including Hawaiian decor.

For drink suggestions, serve pina coladas in half coconut shells with straws for two. Try virgin pina coladas or Hawaiian iced tea for non-alcoholic beverages.
