Hi Loves,
I’m excited because it’s Friday and this means I get to share my thoughts and wedding design experiences with you. This week will be my first design and décor feature from one of my signature real Tobago Weddings which featured a tropical theme. The couple knew exactly what they desired and it was my pleasure to curate the perfect tropical romantic celebration here in Tobago with lush florals, coconuts and blush pink highlights.
The couple opted to host both the ceremony and reception at a breathtaking ocean view villa and quite fitting for this idyllic venue was a tropical theme which was brought to life by simply sophisticated elements. It was our desire to tell the story of the destination and evoke feelings of romance in a tropical paradise and we set out to do this through every detail in the design and décor.
CEREMONY
A majestic wooden arch decorated with arrangements of local tropical blooms of palms, ginger lilies, heliconias, anthuriums, bird of paradise and ferns stood atop the wooden deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean where the couple exchanged their vows. Guests were seated on wooden benches and the bride walked down an aisle decorated with wooden boxes overflowing with a variety of bold, bright and blush pink tropical blooms and complimented the quintessential drift wood. While the stairways of the wooden deck featured ivory and gold vintage lanterns with tropical bloom arrangements inside.
RECEPTION
Overhead bistro lights created an intimate atmosphere and a combination of round and rectangular tables were used to ensure the perfect layout around the pool. The tables were draped in white floor length linen tablecloths and adorned with ivory decorative charger plates, blush linen napkins and gold cutlery. The stunning tablescape featured coconuts on wooden stands, mini candles in gold holders and lush arrangements of palms and ferns with anthuriums and heliconias in white and hues of pink.
The selected photos will grant you a glimpse into the gorgeous and romantic tropical escape that was created and I hope they inspire you to find beautiful ideas for your own destination Tobago wedding… enjoy!!!
