Pristine beaches with swaying palm trees and breathtaking mountain backdrops can bring your dream wedding to life, and traditional Hawaiian clothing will only enhance the picture-perfect event. Bete in Honolulu, HI, has been the top name in authentic Polynesian clothing for over six decades. From the blushing bride to the flower girl, their high-quality Hawaiian apparel is the perfect final touch for your destination wedding.

Here are a few examples of authentic Hawaiian clothing you can incorporate into your big day:

• Mu’umu’u: As the traditional dress of the Hawaiian Islands, the mu’umu’u is a loose-fitting dress with a bold, colorful pattern. From floral designs to generic Polynesian-motifs, mu’umu’us can be tailored to match any wedding theme or color scheme. They’re the preferred formal dress for weddings and festivals, and have been for hundreds of years. Mu’umu’us are appropriate for bridesmaids, honored guests, and brides, too!
• Aloha Shirts: The fun, casual design of the “aloha shirt” originated in Hawaii and has since spread to other parts of the world. First popularized by tourists in the 1930s to reflect the island’s carefree, exotic ambience, they’re now worn at both casual and formal occasions. As a symbol of the Hawaiian spirit, an aloha shirt will grant the men in your wedding party an authentic island look—no matter where they flew in from!
• Haku Lei: A haku lei, or head lei, is made from fresh flowers and designed to circle the forehead like a vibrant crown. Hawaii is known for its beautiful array of tropical flowers, and the haku lei is an ancient manifestation of that natural beauty. The making of a haku lei is an art form in itself, so round out your Hawaiian wedding with this authentic labor of love!
