Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago) Carnival Themed Wedding

In the quest to broaden our services to the destination weddings market, one of our packages will offer a Carnival themed wedding. Why? Carnival is a festival very indigenous to Trinidad and Tobago, and is highlighted as one you must experience. Therefore, if you cannot make it to carnival why not bring carnival to you and your close family and friends without the negatives and all of the positives. Highlighting beauty, creativity and color that is synonymous with the Caribbean.

Here are some ideas for the couple wanting to create their own Caribbean Carnival Themed wedding.

THE DRESSES
Ladies, I know the first thing you will want to think about is what are you going to wear? Here are options for your bridal gown and the reception gown.

 This wedding dress gives all the flair that our costuming is about the birdcage head piece is ideal to complete your Caribbean Carnival look as it lends intrigue to the personality of the bride.
If you are stepping out Caribbean you must have that second dress that brings out "the sexy", I love the pica-boo effect of the blue in the skirt of this dress still tying you into the color scheme of your wedding.

THE DECOR

 Another major focal point will be your decor. Your guests will come expecting to see how you incorporate this festival into your wedding while maintaining the elegance required for a wedding. Yes you want to maintain an elegant wedding and it can be achieved with this theme.

Many critics have dubbed our modern day carnival costumes as bikini, beads and feathers. We cant have the bikini but why not incorporate the beads and the feathers into the decor. This feathered centerpiece is very trendy in the overall wedding decor market. As seen in the photo the ambiance created with the right lighting is phenomenal. 

To give an additional touch the table numbers can be held by tall stands adorned with masks such as the picture below.

iridescent beads can be used to drape along the vase of the centerpiece to add a beaded effect.

On the tables as both your favor and the place card holder we can use these picture framed, chair favors to complete the Caribbean look.

 THE CAKE

Your cake will bring in the Caribbean flavor of your wedding, without the carnival.

This option is very detailed with the working on the design, and will provide a very elegant touch to the wedding.

This design can be traditional Caribbean with sea shells such as the cake on the right or can be representative of exotic flowers easily found in our flora and fauna as the cake on the left.

THE PHOTO BOOTH

We absolutely cannot have a carnival theme without the masquerader.

Why not incorporate it into a photo booth. Your guests will love the idea of having the opportunity to take pictures one on one with a beautiful costume. As an added touch these pictures can be printed and sent to you guests in their thank you card so they can have an additional souvenir reminding them of your unique wedding and the unique experience they had in Trinidad and Tobago. Who knows, they may also want to experience what the festival is about and come back to visit our Islands.

There is a world of ideas out there, waiting to be found and explored.
