  Sunburst oranges, bold and bright blues and sweet hibiscus magentas are all colors that would make any Caribbean wedding pop. Making the right choice of colors for your wedding is essential to the overall theme of your big day. As your color scheme sets the tone for the most important elements in your wedding, including flowers, bridesmaid dresses and event décor, you'll want to be sure the colors complement each other and your location.
  
  

Land and Sea

• The colors of both the beach and the water make great pairs for your wedding theme.antigua caribbean beach image by Andrew Howard from Fotolia.com
  
  When you're planning your nuptials on the beach, use the natural settings as your layout for your palette. Match the cool blue hues from the ocean with the soft natural tones of the sand for your barefoot bliss wedding. Blues and browns make a great color combination. If you stick with bolder blues that pop and lighter tones of tans, sand and beige as complementary colors, you'll find your wedding will have a zen-like feel that is both serene and striking. Alternate bridesmaid dresses in a variety of blues using the sky and ocean for guidance. Items such as napkin rings, cake décor and centerpieces can all use the sand as a main inspiration.
  
  

Typical Tropical

• Match the natural colors of the islands for your scheme.tropical flower image by cyril from Fotolia.com
  
  If one of your main reasons for choosing a Caribbean wedding is to showcase the bold exotic fish and flowers native to this region, then you'll enjoy your options. Pick up shades that are natural to the area in the tropical family, such as pinks, oranges, limes and yellow tones. Most of these work best as a standalone, as opposed to grouped together in one theme. You'll want to choose the colors that mean the most to you and use lighter tints as accents. The typical tropical colors work best in floral decor as well as when you're creatively decorating your table settings or elements for your cake.
  
  

Wedding White

  You may have chosen the Caribbean for its natural beauty and prefer to let the environment speak for itself. In that case, whether you're directly on the beach or simply outside near a rain forest or botanical garden, you can base your entire wedding on the clean freshness of white. You may not be a traditionalist, believing that only the bride wears white, and choose to set your entire theme around this angelic palette. With an all white wedding, you can add depth and texture to your design by incorporating table linens, dresses and reception decor that have white-on-white stripes, patterns and emblems. This works best for a natural setting as the background where you may have lush green and floral elements of the islands as your backdrop.
