Garden Formal · Aloha Elegance
Garden Formal
Think old-school Hawaiian elegance — not beach casual.
FOR THE LADIES
Floral or tropical-print dresses, elegant sundresses, linen or silk dresses, dressy sandals, wedges, vintage-inspired Hawaiian prints.
FOR THE GENTLEMEN
Vintage Hawaiian shirts, linen or lightweight button-downs, tailored trousers, linen pants, loafers, woven dress shoes, or a lightweight linen suit. Classic Hawaiian prints are encouraged.
THE VIBE
Think 1950s–1970s Hawaii resort elegance — beautiful tropical prints, linen, natural fabrics, and vintage aloha style.
Please do not wear board shorts, tank tops, graphic tees, or beach cover-ups. When in doubt, dress like you're going to an old exquisite Hawaiian hotel for dinner at sunset.

Best Days to Book Flights
Book flights on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon, or on Saturday — these tend to have the lowest fares.
Use Incognito Mode or a VPN
Your location can affect the prices you see. Browse in incognito mode or use a VPN to avoid location-based prices.
Best Times to Book
Search for flights early morning (6am) or overnight (2–4am) for the best deals — prices are often lower during off-peak hours.
Monitor Your Flight for Price Drops
Plug your booked flight into flightcheatcode.com or JetBack — these websites automatically monitor your flight for price drops and file claim requests with the airline on your behalf.
Use Credit Cards for Travel Points
We recommend paying with a travel credit card so you can maximize your travel points and rewards on flights and accommodations.
Bring These
Real ID or passport · Sandals · Swimsuit · Reef-safe sunscreen · Sunglasses · Aloe for after sun · Small amount of cash for tips · Portable phone charger · Film camera (if that's your thing) · Wedding attire + comfortable shoes · A tote bag or backpack for activities
🌊 Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Avoid sunscreen containing oxybenzone and octinoxate — Hawaii restricts these chemicals to protect coral reefs. Look for mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
🐚 Leave Nature as You Found It
Do not take coral, rocks, shells, sand, or other natural items home. Leave the beaches and natural areas exactly as you found them.
🐢 Respect Marine Wildlife
Do not touch or chase marine life. Give sea turtles, seals, dolphins, and other wildlife plenty of space. Observe from a distance and let them be.
🧳 Please Don't Overpack!
Bring something for the wedding, something comfortable, and something to jump in the water. That's really all you need.
