The elegant tropical wedding theme is one of those wedding styles that never left when it first arrived on the scene in 2013.
Personally, we love any theme that could possibly involve the beach, but on a note of caution, themes like these can be very risky to work with as they can easily look tacky.
Nonetheless, tropical wedding themes can be as versatile as you’d like them to be. You can go bright and colorful, which creates a fun wedding vibe, or, you can opt for a chic or boho island style which can be rather down-to-earth and relaxed.
Whatever the style you choose for your tropical wedding, here are some elegant things to throw into the mix!
Planning out your elegant tropical wedding
First off, before just diving into your elegant tropical wedding theme, you need to decide on your color scheme, style, and decor.
Because, as I mentioned just now, there are bright colors in some and more earth tones in others.
So, you need to make your checklist and decide what you want to include and where you want your style to stand out most on your wedding day.

The Wedding Club says: “If you want to make your theme more muted and natural-looking, go easy on the colors. Bright colors paired with tropical greenery will make your wedding theme pop, whereas neutral colors will make your wedding more chic and elegant. Take note that you can always add a metallic into the mix to make your style more elegant, too.”
