This colour scheme is all about fun-filled brights and shimmering golds. Think sunset orange, corals, fuschia pink, lime and purple haze for the more extravagant outdoor affair. Don&#8217;t be afraid of contrasting colours and mixing prints. While if you want to opt for a more traditional style with a subtle nod to the tropics; deep greens inspired by palm tree foliage and classic gold will make your big day extra chic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-14821\" title=\"Beach Bridemaids\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2015\/07\/beach-weddings.jpg\" alt=\"Beach Bridemaids\" width=\"540\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/beach-weddings.jpg 600w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/beach-weddings-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/beach-weddings-590x800.jpg 590w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/beach-weddings-553x750.jpg 553w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14822\" title=\"Pineapple Love\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2015\/07\/etsy11.jpg\" alt=\"Pineapple Love\" width=\"570\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/etsy11.jpg 570w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/etsy11-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/etsy11-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/etsy11-315x315.jpg 315w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/etsy11-475x475.jpg 475w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2015\/07\/PicMonkey-Collage3.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14823\" title=\"A Dreamy Tropical Wedding\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2015\/07\/PicMonkey-Collage3-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"A Dreamy Tropical Wedding\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Wedding Party Attire<\/h2>\n<p>Opt for flowing and light materials to help keep everyone in your wedding party cool in the tropical climate.

Quirky accessories such as sequined fruit clutches and pineapple cuff links will make your outfits really unique. While fedora summer hats will give the boys a chilled beach vibe. \u00a0Lei garlands and sunglasses are a must for budget-friendly wedding favours.
