Flower Girl Fashion…

Make your flower girl even cuter by giving her a flower crown that matches the rest of your florals. A flower wand is another adorable idea that will have your guests doting over the adorable little ones.

Dress to Impress…

Nothing says summer more than a floral print. A fun print adds an extra dimension to your bridesmaids’ dresses. Pick a dress with an accent colour that matches your florals to really make the colours pop.

Island Paradise…

No matter where you hold your wedding ceremony, make it look like an island paradise with a beautifully decorated structure or archway to get married under. We love floral arches or beautifully decorated wooden structures.

Please Be Seated…

Bamboo chairs covered in greenery are absolutely perfect for your tropical themed wedding. Styling you aisle in theme is a subtle way to make sure it is continuous throughout the whole celebration.

Coconuts About You…

A tropical paradise is not complete without coconuts to drink from. Fill coconut shells with your favourite tropical beverage to have guests coming back for more.

Something here…

These tropical inspired place settings will match perfectly with the rest of your table decorations. Natural, wooden hues also serve to compliment the vibrant colours of tropical florals.

Pristine Palms…

Palm leaves are big and bold, making them a spectacular part of your table decorations. For couples wanting a tropical flair without being too beachy, incorporate oversized palms with gold toned and geometric shaped centrepieces.

Drink Up…

Complete the island paradise getaway feel of your wedding with a pop up cocktail bar. Stock up on two or three of your favourite tropical drinks to serve as you dance the night away.

Centre of Attention…

Add an extra wow factor to your reception with statement table centrepieces featuring all your favourite tropical florals. Make a bigger impact by creating an over the top floral table runner.

Sweet Tooth…

There are plenty of ways to add a tropical touch to your wedding cake. Add some florals that match your bouquet, a tropical inspired wedding topper or a summer coloured ombre for a cake that looks too good to eat.

Greenery Overload…

One of our favourite spring and summer wedding trends is flower walls. They are an eye catching feature for either your ceremony or reception. Fill them with greenery like this one or incorporate some tropical flowers for more vibrancy.

Pineapple Perfection…

Tropical fruits are fun, fresh and funky. Incorporate these vibes into your wedding by including them as part of your decorations. A pineapple’s bold and unique shape makes it the ideal centrepiece.

Dine Under The Stars…

One of the benefits of a tropical paradise is that the weather is perfect for an outdoor reception. Subtle lighting, lush greenery and gorgeous florals will make for a magical dining experience.
