Summer Themes

Life’s a Beach…

Summer is the perfect time for beach-lovers to express themselves with a tropical theme. Celebrate your spring or summer wedding with a Luau or beach theme! These themes are great for receptions and rehearsal dinners alike.

Hawaiian Luau

• Use the colors of hibiscus: Bright pink, yellow and orange, with accents of deep green


• Surround your guests with tiki torches

• Decorate buffet tables with tropical flowers and baskets of tropical fruit


• Use palm branches and brightly colored rose petals as accents


• Centerpieces of hibiscus, ginger, orchids, and birds of paradise


• Table-top tiki torches give the table a nice glow


• A starry night projected onto the ceiling


• Greet each guest with a fresh or silk flower Lei


• For escort cards, split coconuts, fill them with a tropical drink (like a mai tai or pina colada), and install a small flag with the guest’s name and table number.


• Instead of typical tables, create low tables (folded tables supported by cinderblocks) and provide cushions for guest seating


• Cover the table-top in green Ti leaves


• Use raffia or grass skirts in lieu of table skirts
