Tropicana, drinks are freeeeeee.
Okay, so you might not be opting for an open bar at your wedding, and you may not be having it poolside somewhere hot and exotic, but that doesn't mean you can't go all out tropical popical with your decor.
Pineapples, flamingos, mai tais and palm trees are all big motifs in fashion, interiors and of course, weddings at the moment, and given our penchant for holiday vibes, we couldn't be happier that the trend for tropicana looks here to stay.

Seeing as I'm in the Caribbean this week, I thought it was the perfect time to seek out the coolest tropicana wedding inspiration.
From sixties surfer Hawaiian vibes and Tahitian touches to Floridian brights and Havana nights, this look has it all; tiki cocktails, colourful hues, fun fruity touches, and lush exotic blooms. You can go all out with pink and orange hues and South Pacific attire, or you can add little tiki touches in your stationery and menu choices.
If you're looking to inject a little personality into your wedding, pops of tropical are the way to do it. So stick on your lei, sit back in your peacock chair, and be inspired with 20 bright ideas for a tropicana wedding.

It's all so cool! I love these ideas for a fun summer wedding (maybe with a BBQ or hog-roast) but they'd also be great for a bridal shower or themed rehearsal dinner too.
