A Plumeria tropical themed wedding is a great idea on many levels.
Say you are eloping to the tropics or you are having a small intimate destination wedding in Hawaii. When you get back home, you could then invite your friends and family to a local reception with that same tropical theme. You can also set up a projection system to show your guests photos or videos of your ceremony. The island décor at your reception will give just the right context to make your reception guests feel as if they were there.
Or, perhaps you really want a tropical Hawaiian style wedding but can’t afford the time or money to make the long-distance arrangements.
Here are some ideas to bring the tropics home:
Whether your reception is indoors or in an outdoor garden setting, there are many decorative accessories that can be rented or purchased to give that Hawaiian feel. Consider bringing in potted real or artificial palm trees, old surf boards, bamboo screens, Hawaiian tikis (statues) or tiki torches. Get some bouncy dashboard hula girls (the original bobble heads) for table décor and weave palm fronds through chair backs.
Have your florist outfit the wedding party with bouquets and boutonnières in tropical flora such as hibiscus, plumeria, orchids or birds of paradise. You can also give flower leis or lace bags of macadamia nuts as party favors.
