A Taste for the Tropics, An Island Inspired Bridal Shoot in Tobago

There’s something about an island wedding …it calls to you!

Whether you’re a legit island girl, or an island girl at heart, if you’ve got a “Taste for the Tropics” we’re serving up some sweet “Island Chic” Inspiration!

This styled shoot is set in the romantic Caribbean island of Tobago, against the Balinese inspired Luxury Ohana Villa. The invitation suite by Red Carpet Invitations is “Caribbean Cool” with watercolor foliage and laser cut filigree mimicking the fretwork of island dwellings. Set in the lush garden of Ohana Villa amidst the majestic travelers palm, the tablescape is complete with a tropical glam centerpiece of pink ginger lilies and blush roses.

The bride’s sun-kissed sophistication, was created by Jodi Balfour with the use of a golden color palette allowing her natural beauty to dominate. Coordinated with coiffed soft curls by Mariposa Butterfly, she personified island beauty.

The coconut and vanilla cream filled 2 tier wedding cake was covered in a marbled fondant with gold touches and tropical orchid blooms. The bridal bouquet, accented with white anthuriums, and fountain grass added just the right pop of the tropics. An ideal dress to keep you cool, this signature Jaye Applewaite gown turns up the heat -featuring a plunging neckline and intricate lace work providing ample Island style!

For the second look an elegant white jumpsuit was paired with a stunning cape which elevated this look to “swoon worthy” levels. For the unconventional bride looking for a wow factor, this could very well be “the only look” for her Big Day celebrations. Styled with a vintage white trike you’ll be ready to ride into the sunset…. Paradise Found!
