Here are some Flower Styling ideas:

  • Pair large flowers like pin cushion proteas (very trendy right now) with smaller, delicate orchids.
  • Instead of usual filler flowers like Babyā€™s Breath, look into other options such as Stephanotis, a species native to Madagascarā€™s tropical rainforests.
  • Large palm leaves such as monstera or bismarkia make for great accents and pops of lush green.
  • Contrast the bright tropical colors with white, simple tablecloths.
  • Go beyond flowers! Offer your guest some tropical treats like pineapple and mango, or get funky with dragonfruit and starfruit options.
  • Better yet, keep the tropical theme going throughout all your food! Use light, fruity flavors like passionfruit-orange-guava (POG) or mango in your drinks and desserts.
