Hawaii is a popular choice for those looking for the perfect beach wedding setting, with long stretches of white sand, turquoise water and black lava rocks adding decoration to an already picturesque scene. But Hawaiian weddings are not all about beaches- couples can say their vows in rocky coves, beautiful gardens and in traditional churches.
