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 Baby’s Breath, look into other options such as Stephanotis, a species native to Madagascar’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.
