People Also Ask

What do I wear to a tropical wedding?

Tropical weddings can be formal or more relaxed. For example, a beach elopement will have a different vibe from a tropical-themed ballroom (flowy sundresses and collared shirts vs. tailored gowns and fitted tuxes). Look to the invitation and celebratory setting for guidance.

How do I have a tropical-themed wedding off the beach?

No tropical destination? No problem. You can still have a stunning tropical wedding without a palm tree in sight. Look beyond just wedding ideas to find creative tropical-themed décor and inspiration from birthdays, corporate events, and more. These tropical-theme party ideas bring paradise to you, even in the city. Make sure to work with a wedding planner and design team to create an authentic tropical aesthetic.

Where can I find a venue for my tropical wedding?

Use PartySlate’s curated venue directory to find an available event space in the tropical locale of your choice. Use the filters to narrow your search by guest count, venue type, amenities, and more.
