theme is a fun way to add a little more color without adding much cost to wedding. You could mix several bright colors or more choose a single color for the umbrellas matched to the wedding theme. Decorative umbrellas could serve dual purpose as temporary shade, too. Do it Yourself wedding planners should purchase umbrellas at Pier One, Walmart or other retail stores on Maui. Be careful of spending time shopping for wedding accessories or investing money in things youll throw away after the wedding and before departing for home or a honeymoon. If you are already renting tables, chairs or other equipment for a wedding or wedding reception with delivery fees to drop at a Maui wedding location, adding a few umbrellas will probably be more cost effective than purchasing. And, you can spend your time at the beach.
- Low Cost Lighting for Accents If your wedding reception will go past sunset youll probably want to use artificial lighting. Add a little modern flair to your wedding with Euro lights strung between palm trees. If your wedding reception dinner will be served under chuppa, low cost lighting could be strung from the cross beams or on the poles. Or, consider using Tiki Torches for lighting at outdoor wedding receptions. After the sunsets, a few strategically placed tiki torches add the perfect unmistakable tropical touch to a catered wedding reception.
