Carribean Sun
A Caribbean Treasure wedding theme sounds like a great idea, but if it's done too "over the top" it can become cartoonish. If you are looking for a way to turn your Caribbean Treasure wedding theme from a kitschy affair to the event of the season, reflect your theme in the food, decor and the music. Tone down your references to the Caribbean Treasure theme to make it more elegant. The night should be suggestive of the Caribbean, instead of a full-fledged pirate adventure. Here's make your theme elegant and beautiful.
Decor
Obviously the decor of a Caribbean Treasure wedding plays a huge role in enforcing the theme. Suggest notes of the Caribbean with bright vivid colors as accents; turquoise blue, bright pink and deep purple are reminiscent of a Caribbean sunset, and look pretty in sheer fabric swathed from the ceilings. Use centerpieces that are shaped like small trunks, filled with chocolate gold coins and beads that you've purchased from a party store and that guests can help themselves to. Keep the lighting dim and instead use accent lighting through candles and spotlights to set the mood.
Food
You can have lots of fun planning Caribbean food for your Caribbean Treasure wedding. Begin with lavish fruit that has been carved into elegant shapes, such as a melon hollowed out to hold skewers of melon balls. For a main course, choose an authentic jerk chicken recipe, or barbecued, spicy food like they would serve in the islands. Grilled pineapple will not only delight your guests, but will also scent the air. And of course, serve island-inspired drinks with notes of coconut and citrus, such as margaritas, piña coladas and daiquiris, complete with sugar rimmed glasses.
Music
Playing authentic Caribbean music can really help to set the mood for your Caribbean Dream wedding. If you can find one, hire a Caribbean band that offers traditional instruments like the steel drums. If there isn't a band available, choose a deejay and let him know that you'd like only Caribbean music played. If possible, ask the venue owner if you can bring in sand to place on the dance floor, and invite guests to shed their shoes and dance the night away on your very own beach. Guests will love the attention to detail and will be talking about your Caribbean Treasure wedding for months afterward.
