Today, Hawaiian brides can wear anything from a white long-sleeved gown to a floral printed spaghetti dress. If those ladies were to marry earlier, they would not have as many options because only the holoku or holokeg were allowed as a wedding dress in old Hawaii.

Holoku is a long-sleeved gown with a long train at the back. It is close-fitting around the waist and hips. It used to be a clothing exclusively worn by Hawaiian queens. But after awhile, it became an outfit worn even by commoners in Hawaii. It was so commonly used that it served as their everyday wear in the past. Holoku is traditionally made of silk because it was the Chinese people who introduced its material to Hawaiian natives.

To blend in with the latest trend of style and fashion, the holoku was altered, though at a minimal level only. A particular holoku style has a shorter hemline and no sleeves to match the weather at the Pacific. This makes the holoku a popular choice for beach weddings because it combines elegance and comfort to a tee.

A more modern and radical approach to a Hawaiian wedding is to simply go with a sarong. The breathable fabric is also ideal for a cozy wedding at the coast, while the bright floral prints matches the theme of the island. The huge cloth can be simply wrapped around the body, with the hemline reaching up to the knees, calves or ankles. Making the sarong more accessible and posh are the buttons or snaps attached to it. Simply slip it in and the wedding can get started.

Another bonus is that unlike traditional wedding clothes, these great Hawaiian outfits are very easy to get. Garment shops at every block should have a sarong or holoku in store, with the occasional discounts during inventory sales. These items can also be obtained online. These clothes are not only easy to wear, but easy to get as well.
