Tropical Wedding Reception Themes - What You Need

Tropical Wedding Reception Themes - Save the Dates and Invitations

Your save the dates or invitations are going to be your first real contact with your wedding guests, so why not let them in on the theme you have chosen for your wedding by sending out tropical/beach themed ones.

Shop the Tropical/Beach Themed Save the Dates category of my online suppliers store to easily get the best selection of these kinds of save the dates.

And don't forget, you don't have to stick with an ordinary paper save the date! I found a really cute beach ball one with your save the date info printed custom on it. Send it to your guests and they have to blow it up to read your "card".

And then later on they can play with it, or bring it later on to your wedding reception for fun!



If you don't plan on sending out save the dates, then your invitation should definitely let your guests know of your intention for a tropical themed wedding.

Many of these Tropical/Beach Themed Wedding Invitations have the characteristics of "tropical" in them such as palm trees, starfish and shells, tropical flowers, the colors of sand, sun and ocean.

You get the idea! (and your guests will too)

Tropical Wedding Reception Themes - Apparel

Now on to some of the funner items for your tropical themed wedding. If you are having a beach or summer wedding, you should stick with a Beach or Destination Wedding Dress.

These are specially designed for hot, sticky summers and weddings on the beach where you will need something not as full with a shorter train that won't drag in the sand.

To go further with your tropical themed wedding, you should also look into Tropical Wedding Themed Footwear such as flip flops or sandals. These also have the benefit of not being quite as expensive as a regular shoe you might purchase for your wedding (as well as being much, much, much more comfortable).

You might want to even to add something to your updo such as Tropical Themed Hair Accesories. Some of these are just breathtaking and a real bonus to your tropic theme such as silk floral hairpieces and combs, freshwater pearl tiaras, and many more.

And finally last for the bride, but certainly not the least, you want to wear some Tropical/Beach Themed Wedding Jewelry such as pearls and starfish.

Guys, we're not forgetting about you! Add some Beach Themed Formal Attire for Men such as tropical styled bow ties, cummerbunds and vests.

For your flower girl, there are many Tropical/Beach Themed Flower Girl Baskets for you to choose from with shell and starfish tropical accents.

Tropical Wedding Reception Themes - Ceremony

Now for the ceremony, you can always use a Sand Ceremony Kit instead of the traditional unity candle. This is especially true if you are going to be having your wedding ceremony on the beach where it could be windy.

Later you can move the sand container to your reception site and perhaps proudly display it on your head table or even cake table.

Tropical Wedding Reception Themes - Reception Accesories

As your guests enter the reception venue, one of the first things they will look for are the Tropical/Beach Themed Wedding Favors you have chosen for your wedding.

There are so many to choose from such as seashell soaps, beach towels, seashells gel candle wedding favors and so much more so take your time and pick the one that just rings true to you.

Place either one at each place setting or one for each pair of guests to save you some money and they will certainly let your guests remember your tropical themed wedding.

The next thing your guests will be looking at is your wedding cake, so make sure to carry on your tropical theme with Tropical/Beach Themed Wedding Cake Toppers

These range from romantic and cute to elegant and refined, so whatever mood your are trying to go for with your wedding cake, you will be sure to find it with such a wide selection available.

Tropical Wedding Reception Themes - Decorations

You have quite a few options with regard to Decorations For a Tropical/Beach Themed Wedding Reception.

Think of all the things that scream beach and tropical to you.

Instead of having floral centerpieces, what about having beta fish in bowls with sea netting and shells?

Or what about piles of sand for centerpieces with beach/tropical themed candles firmly placed in the sand and then seashells strewn about the table. I think that you can have a lot of fun with this...just let your imagination go!
