Tropical Wedding Decor For Ceremony

While it is not limited to one season alone, tropical wedding décor is more suited to a summer wedding with this theme. As your wedding invitations often set the tone for your big day, consider making this theme consistent in all your wedding stationery. Colorful flowers, bright colors, bamboo, and palm leaves should feature also at your wedding ceremony venue, tying the theme together perfectly.

Wedding Arches Decor


Portray your wedding theme in the best way with a tropical-inspired wedding arch. You could rent an arch and customize it or create one yourself with bamboo and totally deck it out in tropical wedding décor. The wedding arch is a piece of the wedding that can make a bold statement, so it is a great idea to have it scream your theme. Consider draping the arch in billowy aqua or white fabric and/or decorate with palm branches, ferns, and seasonal blooms.

Tropical Reception Decor

Your decor becomes easy if you consider going with flowers to create that tropical vibe, then everything is easy. Choosing to use bright colored flowers in your décor means that you can tone down the color with everything else. Big palm leaves and island flowers like Lilies, Protea, Alpinia, Hibiscus, Magnolias and more, will ensure that every color is represented.

Tropical Table Decorations


One of our tropical wedding decor ideas to consider for such a colorful celebration is to have a crisp and clear base to start with. So, if you decide to use tablecloths, think white. Dishware can be white as well, with gold or copper accents and bamboo plates or big leaves for chargers. Use seashells for table numbers, and glass vases with colorful flowers for centerpieces.

Tropical Wedding Decor Ideas – Setting Place


Your table setting can give off that tropical vibe without that much effort. To fully represent your tropical wedding reception theme, you can replace glass cups with vessels of hollowed-out coconuts. This would even make the simplest cocktail taste better and more fun drinking from straws. Add origami napkins and leaf place cards, centerpieces of ferns, orchids, and roses adorning fruits such as bananas and pears, and you have a winner.
