My friend is having her wedding at a ceremony and reception hall in May. They want the ceremony to be kind of tropical. What are some good and unique ideas for the reception?

They could decorate the hall with fresh strands of orchids, loose orchids, and ti leaves (scatter on the alter area, use in floating centerpieces or punch bowl, decorate tables, accent the wedding cake, food dishes, and bar drinks, etc).
Fresh loose ti leaves can be used with food as a dish liner, table runners or arrange a bunch of them in a circle and put the wedding cake in the center.
Use tropical flowers in centerpiece arrangements. Or decorate the reception tables with centerpieces like coconut scented candles in real coconut shells, fresh Hawaiian pineapples or papaya that your guests can take home at the end of the wedding. Use tiki torches to add to the atmosphere. Here are some decorating tips: http://www.alohafriendsluau.com/decoratingtips.html
Play traditional Hawaaian music in the background while everyone eats at the reception.
Pass out leis or orchids to guests to wear around their neck or behind their ear as they enter the reception.
Give out sample size macadamia nut treats as wedding favors. You can also create more traditional wedding favor boxes or little bundles by using macadamia nuts instead of jordan almonds.
Serve authentic foods provided during Hawaiian luaus for the wedding reception.
Hire a hula or fire dancer to perform at your reception and also give a hula lesson to you and your guests.

i could use purely a splash of crimson interior the reception actual. it is so famous interior the outfits which you won't be able to pass devoid of it yet you do no longer opt to pass over the suitable. so perchance in case you had centrepieces that we specifically crimson? like roses or some thing else. then you definitely will have white table cloths and then perhaps upload silver in as your substantial colours on the reception. so crimson only as an acenting shade and then in general white and silver. yet once you needed extra shade you need to use a eco-friendly that is going nicely with crimson. using fact that's on the stems of the flora it continues to be integrated into the marriage and it fairly is a shade of nature so that's going to offer the reception an stylish earthy experience. stable luck!
