Whether you have your heart set on cool pastels or bright, bold hues for your bouquet and floral arrangements, you’ll need some good tropical bouquet ideas for your beach wedding. Choosing flowers for your wedding is a big decision and requires a lot of planning, regardless of whether or not you are having a destination beach wedding. Getting married on a beach or island does tend to require more thought, though. You not only have to choose flowers that match your overall wedding color scheme and theme, but you also have to consider which flowers will best enhance your tropical surroundings.

There are plenty of tropical flower choices that make wonderful beach wedding bouquets. Each flower brings a different touch to your bouquet and arrangement, and when a variety of those flowers are blended together, your arrangement can really stand out. When it comes to arranging tropical flowers for your bouquet, the same principle applies as it does with coordinating your gown and ensemble—balance. As long as you choose a variety of tropical flowers that will blend nicely and complement each other well, you won’t have to worry about the bouquet drawing too much attention, or worse, clashing with your gown.

Orchids are very popular flowers for beach weddings due to their soft, casual appearance. They are also very elegant when paired with almost any wedding gown style, and they blend well with other flowers without overpowering the bouquet or arrangements. You can also try heliconia, which is a fun choice for beach weddings. While it is much more colorful and far more bold than an orchid, is it wonderfully versatile and adds instant island flair to your ceremony or reception. Anthuriams are also a great choice, and are very daring. Don’t forget to check out various foliage choices to pair with your tropical flowers, such as palm leaves or Strelitzia leaves. Any of these flower choices are sure to give you great tropical bouquet ideas for your beach wedding!
