Tropical Weddings
Whether you are flying to a beach destination or bringing the island to your backyard, take your nuptials to the tropics. Tropical-themed weddings are a perfect way to create a special day that feels like a vacation for you and your guests. There's nothing more romantic than sandy beaches, fragrant tropical flowers and endless sunsets.
Jewelry and More
Design colorful jewelry in bright tropical colors for a standout style using Crystal Passions beads, Czech glass beads and Celestial Crystal beads that will sparkle in the sun. Create a tropical vibe with shell beads, wood beads and floral beads. Paua shell beads and mother-of-pearl beads are a popular choice for beach-inspired looks. Statement necklaces, shoulder-duster earrings, charming anklets and chunky bracelets create a tropical splash.
Create lei-inspired seed bead necklaces and make memorable jewelry pieces with beach-themed charms. Personalize jewelry with initial charms and stamped metal components that can include the longitude/latitude of the wedding location and other meaningful moments.
Embellish other beach-ready items for the big day with Crystal Passions® flat back crystals and gemstone cabochons, including flip flops, headpieces and barrettes, sunhats and sunglasses.
Flowers, Food and Décor
Tropical weddings are all about the exotic flowers, refreshing cocktails and delicious food. Set the tone with colorful blooms of bird-of-paradise, hibiscus, plumeria and orchids. Use tropical fruit in the table décor and create a menu based on your favorite tropical cuisine.
Many couples are choosing a beachy signature cocktail, such as a Mai Tai or pina colada, and grilling seafood for an ocean-inspired experience. Add a tropical flower motif to wedding cakes, write the bar menu or program on banana leaves, enjoy pineapple place cards and use a ceremony arch filled with tropical blooms.
Wedding Favors
Give guests a floral lei or shell necklace to enjoy the tropical feel. Design custom fans for guests to stay cool during the ceremony. Make shell earrings for bridesmaids, special gifts or wedding favors. Brides can have a DIY jewelry-making or lei-making station at the wedding for people to make their own OOAK wedding memory.
