Why Choose DIY Greenery Kits for Your Spring Wedding  

There's a reason tropical greenery is trending in weddings. Not only is it versatile and stunning, but its vibrant leaves contrast beautifully with soft, pastel flowers, creating an unforgettable visual impact. DIY greenery kits, like our Lush Green Amazon, include popular tropical greens such as:  

  • Monstera Leaves: Known for their distinctive oversized shape, they’re perfect for creating lush backdrops.

  • Dieffenbachia: Adds pops of bright green with elegant variegated patterns.

  • Phi Xantal and Pandanus Palms: Their elongated leaves bring depth and texture to any arrangement.

  • Cordyline: A striking option with a hint of bold, tropical flair. Paired with tropical blooms such as white anthuriums, pink ginger, and orchids, your arrangements will appear curated and professional. 

How to Use Tropical Greenery for Bouquets and Decor  

Tropical greenery is both versatile and timeless, making it the perfect base for crafting wedding florals. Follow these guides to create breathtaking arrangements for your big day.  

Bridesmaids’ Bouquets  

For your bridesmaids, infuse a tropical vibe with a combination of pink ginger and lush greenery. Here’s how to assemble the perfect bouquet:  

  1. Start with a few phi xantal as the base to create structure.

  2. Add 1-2  monstera leaves or dieffenbachia for volume and texture.

  3. Incorporate 2-3 pink ginger blooms in varying heights to draw attention.

  4. Finish by wrapping white or blush ribbon around the stems for a polished look.

These bouquets radiate a relaxed yet refined tropical charm, perfectly balancing sophistication with a touch of whimsy.

The Bridal Bouquet  

Your bouquet should stand out and highlight your style. Pair tropical greenery with elegant flowers like orchids and anthuriums for a timelessly chic effect.  

  1. Begin with a strong base of monstera leaves, palm leaves, and phi xantal from your kit to create volume.

  2. Add white orchids (phalaenopsis and/or dendrobium) for a soft, elegant touch.

  3. Include white anthuriums for their unique textures and heart shapes.

  4. Arrange the flowers asymmetrically for a modern aesthetic, allowing the greenery to peek through.

  5. Secure the stems with an ivory silk ribbon for a bridal finish.

This combination of tropical greens and delicate whites will beautifully complement your wedding dress while making a bold statement.

Table Centerpieces  

Elevate your wedding tables with cohesive, tropical-themed centerpieces. DIY arrangements allow you to get creative while tying all your decor elements together.  

Instructions for Tropical Centerpieces  

  1. Use glass bud vases to hold tropical greenery like phi xantal and dieffenbachia. The contrasting shades of green create light and depth.

  2. Add small clusters of pink ginger, light pink anthuriums, or white dendrobium orchids to each vase for elegant pops of color. Consider designing these in a mono-botanical fashion! 

  3. For added ambiance, include cylinder vases with floating candles to bring a warm, inviting glow to your tablescape.

  4. Scatter smaller leaves like cordyline around the bases of the vases for a cohesive look.

Submerged Greenery Centerpieces

For a creative twist, use submerged tropical leaves with floating candles. It’s an easy-to-create, modern design that amplifies elegance while letting the lush greenery shine. 

How to create this look:

1. Select tall, clear glass cylinders and fill them with water.

2. Submerge wide monstera or pandanus palm leaves inside each cylinder, ensuring the leaves are visibly layered for added texture.

3. Place floating candles on top of the water to add warmth and create a dreamy ambiance when lit.

Pair these centerpieces with white linens and rattan chargers to complete the look! Minimal effort, maximum impact. These arrangements are perfectly Instagram-worthy and will have your guests admiring your attention to detail!
