The key to pulling off a coordinated event: Evoke your theme throughout the affair. Whether that theme is as general as a season or a feeling, or as specific as a special flower, it should be the subtle thread that ties everything together. Your location, invitations, flowers, menu, cake, and favors should all cleverly reflect one common concept. Then, get as creative as you can!

Planning A Hawaiian Luau?

Location:  Beach, Island, Botanical Garden, Cruise ship, Reception Hall, Ballroom or even your own Backyard.

The key to pulling off a coordinated event: Evoke your theme throughout the affair, it should be the subtle thread that ties everything together. Your location, invitations, flowers, menu, cake, and favors should all cleverly reflect one common concept. Then, get as creative as you can

A ballroom or backyard pool area can easily be transformed into a tropical paradise with tropical foliage like: tropical palms, plants, & exotic flowers (Orchids, Hibiscus, Heliconia,  Bird of Paradise, Asiatic Lilies). 

Remember the tops of the tables provide you with a very large surface area and covering them with a themed table cover or tropical linens is the easiest way to change the feel of a room.. It is also the most cost effective way to decorate. Ten tables covered with tropical tablecloths will transform your event location into a party paradise. Raffia Table Skirts  will add a festive look any table. Trim with real leis or silk flower leis for an elegant look.

Add a tropical look to your tables by setting the table with Luau Paper Goods . For a unique look use Plastic Shell Plates.

Usage of small trees, such as the 5ft. Banana Tree or a 3ft. plant (Heliconia or Bird of Paradise) have been very popular as centerpieces for a buffet table or salad bar.

Centerpieces utilizing real fruits are very popular. A pineapple placed in the center of a real or silk flower leis with Cocktail Umbrellas stuck into the pineapple is a simple arrangement. Add a coconut next to the pineapple for an additional accent.

For casual luau centerpieces use one of the following: 20" Palm Centerpiece , Coral Reef Centerpiece,  or Cabana Rio Centerpiece.

Candles are also popular centerpiece options: Try Bamboo Torch Candles, trimmed with real or silk tropical flowers.

Place several Palm Tree Candles down the length of a banquet table, scatter sea shells. sea glass, and sand around the candles.

Float Flip Flop Candles in shallow, square glass dishes filled with blue water.

Set three Pineapple Candle around a tall clear glass cylinder vase filled with lemons & limes.

Sun Mini Candles, great as a table decoration, place cards, or a favor for your guests! Other candle options might include: Tiki Candle, Toucan 8" Candle.

A self standing Luau Photo Centerpiece allows you to personalize your tropical party! It is constructed of sturdy cardboard and holds 1 photo. Makes a great centerpiece or giveaway.

Tropical Bandanas make a great napkin for your luau theme party. Use a colorful Silk Flower Bracelets for a beautiful napkin ring or place a single exotic bloom on top of a solid colored cloth napkin. For a beach bash a napkin tucked inside a pair of Neon Sunglasses is a cute accent.

Light up your Drinks!  Add to the party decor by serving your favorite drinks in Flashing Margarita Glasses , Light Up Martini Glasses , Light Up Wine Glasses , or Light Up Mugs ,fun way to light up your drinks or desserts. Use for fruit cups, shrimp cocktail or an ice cream sundae. Colorful Neon Coconut Cups or Neon Margarita Cups
will add a festive flair to your poolside drinks.

Accent your tropical drink with Tropical Flower Straws , Assorted Fruit Straws
or Cocktail Umbrellas. They are also great accent for platters too.

For upscale parties, lighted centerpieces are very popular. Try adding Light Cubes
 to glass vases and create fabulous light up centerpieces. 

Some other ideas might include: a tall glass vase lighted from below with an LED light base. Fill vases with Orchids or lemons & limes floating in water.  Set a 3" cylinder vase on an E Light Coaster , watch the lights change.

Mini spandex towers with palm leaves on top is an elegant and sophisticated look. Taller 6' or 8' towers can also be used around the room for added decor.

Try a tall lighted vase with limes & tropical florals. A lighted box with limes or oranges on top. Orchids in a lighted vase.

Tropical Lighting:

Lighting is one of the important elements of any design. For pool parties or informal events tiki torches can be used to line walkways and party areas. Accent other party areas with
Luau Lights in the shape of palm trees, flamingos, flowers & etc. Party lights also make great accents for tables. 

Gobos can be used to project photo-realistic images (pictures, line drawings, logos) of just about anything onto walls, ceilings or a stage areas. Imagine parrots in flight illuminating the sky of your event room. Used alone, or in combination with other gobos, stunning results can be achieved. Contact your local lighting company for ideas.

Scene Setters:

Scene Setters are used to fill in gaps and round out areas. Decorate for your Luau with ease with a Tropical Scene Setter ,Sunset Scene Setter , Beach Scene Setter ,Coral Reef Scene Setter ,Ocean Blue Scene Setter  ,Palm Tree Scene Setter and more!
 The perfect way to convert your party room into a Luau scene in minutes. Mix and Match with all of the great scene setter add-on decorations.

Wall Murals:

If your budget is low, but your dreams are grand, consider the depth of a giant tropical photo mural. They fill an entire wall, and better yet, they provide guests with the most realistic setting imaginable. When else will your guests have the opportunity to relax beneath a tropical sunset, or soak in the beauty of a island beach in the company of friends. They also make an excellent photo background too. Here are a few murals we would suggest:

Bring Vitality To Your Theme Concept

While decor still reigns supreme when invoking theme, an interactive element brings vitality to your theme concept.

Besides the tropical flowers, native plants and tiki torches to evoke your theme — bring in traditional native dancers to perform at your Hawaiian Event, combine with a hilarious audience participation segment where guests can interact and be part of the event, rather than just spectators. 

When you choose to go with a themed event, it should be a complete commitment. Even your catering should reflect the theme. That might mean supplying action stations that combine food flavor, presentation and decor for a total guest experience. If you're going to do a themed event, it needs to be done legitimately and to completion. It can't be a partial attempt.

Our party planners or wedding consultants will be happy to work with you on creating a memorable, & elegant tropical event. Call our party planning department at 281-373-1572 for an appointment, our initial 1 hour consultation is "free".  Serving Cypress,TX & surrounding areas.

Tropical Drinks:

Pina Colada:

1 1/4 oz Rum add a splash of Cream of Coconut & Pineapple Juice. Blend with Ice Cream, Sherbet or Yogurt for a frozen delight. Serve in Tropical Cups. Garnish with a cherry or pineapple wedge for a refreshing drink.
