Hello! I am having a hawiian themed wedding, a little different i know, but i too am having a hard time finding decorations. I figure that I will end up using colored table cloths and possibly having centerpieces that are either a pineapple in the center, or sand, with plumerias, and tea lights. I have also thought of making table numbers with bamboo matts, and using hawaiian words instead of numbers. You may want to try to contact a local tiki shop, maybe they can rent to you some full tikis. Also you may think about asking a your bartender, some will do themed weddings. Or a local hawiian resturant may be of some help, finding authentic merchandise. You may even look into getting posters from the 50`s, Allposters.com has them, and if you sign up for emails, you get discount coupons and they notify you of promotions. I think they are running a 25% off promo now. I am ordering my invites from http://www.islandpaperie.com/index.html. They have hawiian invites, and also ofter smaller versions called minis for less money. I am also giving plumeria candles, I`ve seen tiki versions as well, but I don`t recall where. I think that I will have to resort to making my own things, just so it isnt so cheesy! I`ll let you know if i find anything good! Other search words that may help you are polynesian, hawiian, and tropical. As we get closer to summer these things will be easier to find.

Thank you for your input... It has been so difficult trying to find tiki themed decorations that aren`t paper or plastic...i am rotating mini tiki lamps with hibscus flowers and these mini pineapple looking things(im not sure what they are called) around the bottom... And glass vases with ginger flowers and bear grass for centerpices...thats about as far as i have come :)
