4. Rattan Chairs

From peacock chairs to use at your sweetheart table to smaller rattan chairs to use during your ceremony, there are lots of options when it comes to seating. The best part is that if you choose to buy some for your wedding, you can reuse them as home decor once the day is over.

5. Tropical Fruit Accents

Fruits like pineapples, watermelon, strawberries, and orange just scream summer. Incorporate them in your tablescapes for a more subtle tropical element. If you’re having a destination wedding, you may even consider local fruits.

Is there anything more beachy than sipping a cocktail–or mocktail–out of a coconut? To take the favor to the next level, create a wedding logo and have it painted or branded into the coconut.
