Tropical Elegance: A Caribbean Destination Wedding at Jamaica Beaches Ocho Rios
Welcome to another beautiful love story — this one with a tropical twist! Lydia and Tom tied the knot at the breathtaking Beaches Ocho Rios resort in Jamaica, surrounded by eight of their closest loved ones. Their vision was simple: to celebrate their love with colour, texture, and tropical charm that felt perfectly at home in paradise. 🌴💛

Designing Their Tropical Dream
From the start, Lydia and Tom were drawn to the vibrancy of island life. They wanted their wedding flowers to reflect the natural beauty of Jamaica — full of tropical personality, but still soft and romantic.
To capture that, I blended oranges and yellows to complement Lydia’s stunning veil and dress, paired with palm leaves and darker green foliage for an authentic island look. And since eucalyptus wasn’t their vibe, we focused on lush, tropical greens instead.
A Bouquet Made for Adventure
For Lydia’s bridal bouquet, I created a flat-back design — perfect for packing and travelling safely overseas. It featured Caribbean-inspired silk blooms and was finished with a delicate fan attached to the back (a little secret touch to keep cool in the Jamaican heat!). The design was tied with long, floaty ribbons to mirror the soft movement of Lydia’s dress and veil.
Tropical Touches for the Whole Family
Tom’s buttonhole carried the same sun-kissed palette, tying in beautifully with his pale green shirt and white linen suit. Their daughter Gracie looked adorable in her flower crown, crafted from matching blooms to bring the family’s look together perfectly.
Every element was designed to travel easily and look flawless in the Caribbean sunshine — a vibrant reflection of their relaxed, intimate celebration. ☀️🌸
