Main > Destination Weddings > Destination Wedding in Hawaii Destination Wedding in Hawaii Home | Submit Search Written by Global Aloha Weddings A destination wedding in Hawaii is fast becoming the choice for couples from all around the world to say "I DO." Brides see themselves in a simple Hawaiian Wedding Dress, draped in a fragrant flower lei and with a Haku (head lei) veil of white orchids to accent her bouquet. Envisioning an oceanfront gazebo adorned with tropical flowers, she can almost hear the clear falsetto voices singing the Hawaiian Wedding Song- first in English, then in Hawaiian. The Bride and Groom kiss and are whisked away in an Outrigger Canoe into the sunset. Imagine the video of this ceremony! Just a romantic notion? Too far, too costly, too complicated? Not really, the vacation location wedding/honeymoon is becoming more popular and is usually less expensive than the big family hometown wedding-reception-dinner extravaganzas of the 80's. It can also be a lot more fun for everyone. If a Hawaiian wedding is your dream, a good place to start is with one of the many wedding planners in the islands. Try the First Hawaiian Wedding and Bridal Directory, or type "Hawaiian Weddings" into the search field in Yahoo. According to Scott Tambling, a local coordinator who has planned literally thousands of Hawaiian weddings, "the best place to start is with your making your travel and room arrangements. Once you have a definite date, you can contact a reputable wedding company such as Global Aloha Weddings and make arrangements for your ceremony." Tambling suggests you shop around to compare prices and packages and says "a couple can easily arrange their dream ceremony, complete with professional photography and videography for under $1000." Tambling goes on to say "Picking an island is another question that is hard for people who have never been to Hawaii before." He suggests you have your ceremony and reception if any on Oahu (the island on which the city of Honolulu and the resort area of Waikiki is based) and then fly over to Maui, Kauai or the Big Island of Hawaii for an official honeymoon. "The prices for wedding services are generally much higher on the outer islands and it is easier to obtain a marriage license in Honolulu. It also enables the couple to visit more than one island and really have a honeymoon within a honeymoon." The most popular sites on Oahu include Diamond Head Park, at the end of Waikiki, best of all it is free of charge; The Royal Hawaiian Hotel, for a more elaborate ceremony, but on the expensive side; and Haiku Gardens, in the Tropical Forests of the Windward Side of the Island. Another option is to have your ceremony onboard one of the many pleasure boats based in Waikiki. A wedding at sea with the Hawaiian sunset as a backdrop can make wedding photos appear as if out of a Fairy tale. To begin planning, answer the following: How many will attend? What is your budget? Where will you stay, hotel or condo? How does the wedding look in your dreams? On the beach, in a Gazebo or Church, by a waterfall or a rain forest, at sunset or on a bright Hawaiian morning? What type of amenities do you desire, photography, videography, florals, entertainment and transportation? These are the questions a wedding planner will need to get your "vision" and put together a proposal just for you. Want to be notified when new articles are added?

Goemetry and Quilts Lesson Quilt Blocks: Geometry with a Cultural Warmth Subjects :Geometry, Social Sciences, Clothing and Textiles, Art Patty Winkler Michael E. DeBakey High School for Health Professions Houston, TX email address: pwinkler@houstonisd.org All rights reserved. Any use of these materials is prohibited without the expressed written permission of the author. Overview This lesson can be taught at any grade level but is recommended for middle or high school. It is meant to be a fun lesson to generate interest in geometrical patterns and the world around us. Objectives Develop an appreciation of geometry as a means of describing the physical world Recognize and appreciate the geometric patterns found in quilts Describe the symmetry and other geometric aspects of quilt block patterns Create scale drawing of life objects. Discuss the history and cultural influence of some of the quilt blocks found Find and view information from the WWW Materials Needed squares of paper or cloth for Hawaiian quilts (see procedures for details)quad rule graph papercolored pencils, markers or crayonsresource materials listed below Procedures Quilting is a wonderful pastime which has lost its luster and interest in todays generations. Quilting has many wonderful traditions which can be explored in may different ways. I have outlined some ideas below and included just a few of the cultural resources I have found. Try to find a guest speaker to discuss quilting and some of the new and old patterns. Hawaiian quilting: Hawaiian quilting differs from that which evolved in other parts of the world. Its unique method of design leaves a striking impression on anyone who has the opportunity to view a finished product. The actual emergence of this style of quilting is pure speculation, as to date, no information has been found to substantiate any one theory. A set of instructions and steps for making a quilt are included with the lesson. Take some time to read the Introduction to gain a better understanding of the emergence of this type of quilting. After the history has been discussed, have the students create a design of their own by following the steps for folding and creating the design. If square are not available in the suggested 16 and 20 size, use 6 and 8.5 squares. Once they have created a design in one color from a 6 square have them choose another color to paste it on. Once they have created their quilt block have them fake the echo stitching by lightly demonstrating the technique in pencil throughout their block. Once all blocks are completed by the students, put them together on a bulletin board or tape their backs together to create your own Hawaiian quilt. Have students discuss how they got the design they had and if they were using anything from their life or nature to create the design. Early American/European patchwork quilting This type of quilting involves cutting pieces of cloth in specific shapes and sizes to create a desired pattern. There are hundreds of patchwork patterns and variations with new ones being developed regularly. I have included the initial page from an Internet site on Amish quilts. The Amish are famous for their quilting techniques. The midwestern Amish do more intricate patchwork designs where the Pennsylvania Amish have very simple patchwork with very intricate and detailed quilting lines. The quilts with the detailed stitching are desired worldwide and can be very expensive. Students should do some research on patchwork quilting. There are a number of sites on the Internet as well as a numerous magazines and books available on the market. Once they have seen some of the patterns which are already in existence, show them the two that are included here. One is called Kaleidoscope and the other is called Fractal. They can see a very direct relationship to mathematics through these quilts. They are both brand new designs. African American quilting The influence of the African textile techniques and practices are evident in the quilts with this distinct style. African style quilting shows two major influences. First is the African preference for strip textiles and strips of cloth developed on hand looms. Second are the religious symbols of their cultures. These both appear in many of the quilts of African-American quilting. Some of the most famous quilt designs include: Lazy Gal; Spider Leg; Twin Sisters; Spider Web; and Wild Goose Chase. Whether consisting of a single piece or many small scraps of cloth, strips are a dominant design element as well as a chief construction technique in both West African textiles and Afro-American quilts. I have included a copy of the article African Symbolism in Afro-American Quilts from African Arts magazine. The reference is included in the reference list at the end of this group of lessons. Once the students have had a chance to explore patchwork quilting, have them use graph paper to design (in scale) and color their own patchwork quilt. Quad rule graph paper works best here. Have them share these designs either in small groups or by placing them on a bulletin board or empty wall. Evaluation The creation of the designs discussed above. Resource Materials Quilting in America Paint a Quilt Lesson Quilt Gallery Quilts - One of my favorite things Immigration Quilt Project Hawaiian Quilting materials Aloha Quilts Helen Friend-Hawaiian Quilter Amish Quilting Materials Homepage for American Quilts Amish Art African-American quilting article General quilting information Yahoo search - Quilting Teacher Comments Growing up in a small, rural, farming community gave me a deep appreciation for the art and craft of quilting. I am not very skillful, unlike my sister and my aunts; however, I do see and understand the geometry involved in designing an appealing quilt. There are hundreds (maybe thousands) of quilt block designs all around the world. Each of them was created by someone who wanted to tell a story, make a point, or stir an emotion. This is an art that is dying and needs to be rekindled in the younger generations.
