The tropics are a magical place that many people love to go to unwind, relax, and enjoy the array of palm trees, the sun, and sandy beaches. Tropical wedding themes are a hot trend perfect for your Summer wedding. Whether you plan to have a destination wedding or bring the tropics to you, you are sure to fall in love with this Tropical Paradise Wedding Centerpiece, inspired by our Community Member Destiny!
Let’s Get Started:

Directions:
STEP 1: Measure the opening of your vase and trim down with your X-acto knife to fit your foam disc if needed.
STEP 2: Add 12 red roses and 8 white calla lilies to your trimmed foam disc.
TIP: Add hot glue to stems prior to inserting any of your flowers and stems into your foam.
STEP 3: Trim off the stem of your 13 inch tropical leaf, exposing the wire and insert into your foam.
STEP 4: Add your 4- 6 inch tropical leaves, 1 white orchid phalaenopsis , and 1 butterfly orchid to your foam.
