Definitely design your own. I did a tropical wedding--my brides wore turquoise. The tablecloths were lime green or turquoise. The napkins were fushia and sand. I used tiki torches to decorate. My cake was tropical but I did it on the inside instead. It was 3 tiers and the top tier was almond with chocolate ganache, middle tier was coconut cake with pineapple in the middle, and the bottom tier was vanilla with mango filling. We did a coconut icing which was great b/c it looked just like a regular white cake (i'm traditional for the most part). And she used almond (so it would stand out on the cake) for the squiggly decorations. Email me and I'll send you a pic but like I said--mine was simple on the outside. You could easily have them do just the decoration squigglies or monogram in whatever bright color you are using for the wedding colors.
I found a lot of cakes that had stargazer lilies on it, but very few with a more tropical arrangement. Best to go to a bridal show and flip through their book of what they have done in the past. You'll see more than you'll see on a website b/c the majority of brides don't want bright decorative colors.
The easiest way is to just wrap a ribbon of whatever bright color you want around it. Having them make the sugar flowers are very expensive. Real flowers are the easiest--you just pick some of the flowers out of your bouquet and have on the top. But my bakery said that is arranged with your florist. The florist brings the flowers and arranges them on the cake.
I put my tossing bouquet on the top and just a few bright flowers around it on each tier.
Many of the "Bright decorative colors" are called mad hatter cakes--but I'm not sure if that was what you had in mind at all but do an image search for it and you can see what I mean.
Tropical is a rather new thing and so most companies don't put that on the website. My cake was the first time my baker had ever done pineapple or mango filling. Just talk with your florist about what flowers you are using in the bouquet.
Suggestions
stargazer lilly
glads
ginger
birds of paradise (so big that one or 2 of those would be the topper)
bear grass (to accent not as a main piece)
colored cala lillies
