Fourth of July


It's the Fourth of July! Happy Independence Day! Time to pause and remember the historical significance of this holiday...time for barbecues...and time for weddings?

July happens to be a fantastic month for weddings in Hawai'i. With longer days (= more time for outdoor, day-lit photos), great chances for ideal weather, and vacation time for guests with kids, July weddings are naturally desirable.

The Fourth of July holiday also makes the perfect time for fireworks! Choosing a July 4th wedding date naturally means evening skies aglow with spectacular fireworks displays - for free - if the location affords a view. Brides and grooms wanting sparklers for their weddings may also purchase them at this time, as their availability is limited to the period leading up to Independence Day and New Year's. (Sparklers may not be shipped in to Hawai'i, so be sure to plan ahead.)

One thing to bear in mind: weddings on holidays such as Independence Day will almost certainly mean increased costs. Check with your vendors and venue regarding higher holiday rates or labor fees for choosing a holiday.
