Cabana Style Weddings
If you are looking for a great theme for your wedding, consider creating the relaxed feeling of a cabana. For starters, think about having a striped tent that you set up and have live musicians to provide the music. You will find that there are many different ways for you to take advantage of the use of a tent, whether it comes from leaving it open on two sides in a lovely natural setting or when it comes to draping it with lovely light fabric to give it a wonderfully romantic feel. In terms of colors, no matter what colors you are thinking about, choose bright, light shades of them. Yellows, blues, greens and reds are perfect.
You can also let your guests know that you are going for a cabana feel at the reception and encourage them to wear their most festive tropical attire. You can go for some fun Hawaiian shirts, or linen sheaths are always quite popular for female guests. Let everyone enjoy the warm weather- or the very well heated venue!- and start things off with a blast.
When it comes to decorating for a cabana style wedding, you will find that flowers, flowers, and more flowers are the key. Try getting a lot of orchids, which are big, bright and colorful, or anthuriums which are practically explosions of colors. To even out the bright colors, choose lots of ferns, or look into getting tropical potted plants to use throughout the reception.
There are lots of ways to get a cabana style wedding reception, so take some time and think about what your options are!
