Some Useful Tips To Make A Tropical Wedding Bouquet Yourself

A tropical theme wedding and a desire for tropical flowers require a tropical wedding bouquet to match. Matching bouquets are also required for the maid of honour and the bridesmaids. Here are a few ideas to make tropical wedding bouquets yourself.



Selecting The Right Flowers

Tropical look depends on the flowers you pick for your tropical wedding bouquet. First and the biggest concern is about the life of its freshness. The next concern is the colour and shape of flowers.You have to import flowers if you don’t have a good florist in your locality. In their absence you have to use silk flowers. Anthurium, which comes in purple, dark red, pink, salmon and light red and lasts long is a popular choice. It has a yellow centre with a single petal that covers around the centre in a heart shape.

The orchid, with many types, is another tropical and popular flower. The dancing lady is a yellow orchid with the shape of a dancing lady. The wild cat orchid smells like chocolate and is of mottled yellow and burgundy. Another orchid with large white blooms and a purple centre is the winter wonderland.

Lava plants can be an interesting addition to a tropical wedding bouquet. The plants have thick leaves and red fluffy shoots. You may also add ginger flowers, Bird of paradise, Costus French Kiss or Heliconia. For greenery or foliage you can select many types of plants depending on the look you want.

For a feathery look of ferns Sago or Areca fern will be suitable. For a fatter leaf use Sansivera, Hawaiian heart or Crinum. Bamboo leaves would also be an interesting choice.

The Finishing Touch

For an original tropical wedding bouquet, try adding some special touches. Substitute premade leis for ribbons at the end of the bouquet and use them as streamers. You can even replace streamers with natural raffia found in craft stores with the dried flowers or packing materials. You can also use a piece of bamboo instead of a premade bouquet handle from a craft store.

Whatever you like is the best choice for tropical wedding bouquets. Whatever you like can be incorporated into it. If you like crystals, add on, though they are not tropical exactly.
