There are so many easy ways to set the mood—from the tiki island décor, to the food, the music and of course the tiki tropical drinks.
Hawaiian or Caribbean island Luau Décor
The decor and them is very important to create the ambience. The decoration could be Polynesian/ Hawaiian or Caribbean they are basically have the same theme. Is all about real flowers and bamboo. Tropical/island themed fabric (I prefer swatches. tropical scented candles, large tropical leaves like monstera orchids. Colorful plates. Turn off bright outdoor lights and use tiki torches, paper lanterns, string lights or small bon fires and candles to create a relaxing ambience.
What should I wear?
A luau isn’t a luau without the famous aloha shirt. You should wear a floral Hawaiian shirt or a Tommy Bahama Shirt to get into the tropical island spirit. Hawaiian or Aloha shirts with khaki slacks or shorts are considered to be more resort dress wear. Women can wear short or long dresses with flower print or sarongs with a flower tucked behind your ear – right if you’re single, left if you’re taken. You can wear comfortable shoes or flip-flops.
