For anyone who loves the sensation of warm salty air blowing over the ocean or the feeling of sand between your toes will most certainly adore the idea of a tropical wedding day. A relaxed, casual affair, where flip-flops replace high-heels and cool linen blends replace satin and lace. There is for sure no better symbol for a day like this than that of the Frangipani flower. Also known as the Plumeria in other parts of the world, this simple tropical bloom is renowned for it’s intense fragrance and vibrant Yellow hue.
The beauty of this flower lies in it’s simplicity, making it perfect to use as the key element for this Wedding theme. Not only is it ideal for a summer bouquet or to pop into your tousled hair-do, but is available for use in a myriad of other ways. Consider Frangipani themed invitations to set the tone for your Wedding day and excite guests for what is to follow. Bridesmaids can take a page from this tropical blooms-book and wear gowns inspired by it’s vivid Yellow centre, such as these Shantung halterneck dresses by Jenny Yoo.
Of course no tropical Wedding would be complete without a piece of Frangipani topped wedding cake to nibble on. All you need now is a glass of wine and a breath of the warm summer breeze to remind you that the beach Wedding you dreamt of can now be a reality all thanks to the humble Frangipani. ♥
