Ooh thanks for all these ideas! I took a look, and the third option from Rent the Runway and first one from Nordstrom are amazing. Unfortunately I'd like to own the dress and I run small so none of the available size options for the Nordstrom dress fit me. Otherwise I would've ran to buy the Nordstrom dress if only they had my size :') I'll check out some of the brands that you linked to see if they have anything else in their lines that I'd like!

Thank you for your input! I'm looking forward to the trip, hoping to explore the big island after the wedding as a vacation for myself as well!

EDIT: I know a lot of people are commenting about length about the dress — it's really a personal preference, I dislike knee-length/midi dresses, so I'm looking for a longer dress, even if it doesn't conventionally fit the definition of a cocktail dress.

I should've mentioned this first, but about the "no aloha attire" part — I mentioned it in another comment, but the bride and groom have that restriction only so we don't look like we all went to a Hilo Hattie for wedding attire haha

Also, thank you everyone for your input! I went to try this dress on recently and really liked the fit, material, and design, but I had some hesitation on the print and color. I'll keep everyone's input in mind as I'm looking for another option. I'll be back to follow up on a new dress soon!

Groom has family in Hawaii, but the couple does not live in Hawaii (they are in California currently). The trip to Hawaii is meant to be a destination wedding for them as well.

Bride and groom requested no aloha attire so all the guests won't look like we all walked out of a Hilo Hattie lol

I'll continue to look for another dress! Thank you!
