Here are some ideas to inspire a Jamaican themed wedding while hosting your event in South Florida:
Beverages: Red Stripe beer, rum punch signature drinks or mojitos incorporate a tropical atmosphere unique to Jamaica. In addition, consider the British tradition of tea time, since Jamaica is a Commonwealth of Great Britain. Tea service for an indoor South Florida wedding venue is a nice addition.
Entertainment: Steel drums, of course!

Décor: Focus on an islands theme with details such as palm fronds, whole coconuts, shells, palm trees illuminated with mini light strands, bamboo and tiki torches.
Perhaps, incorporate a Bob Marley quote from a song in a frame or chalkboard sign to add some Jamaican flavor without being overwhelming.
Hair: Hibiscus flowers placed in your hair is a sophisticated way to use tropical florals in your wedding. An updo with a small braid or two in the mix adds some Jamaican flair to your hair.
Invitations: Passport or airline ticket wedding invitations never get old because each couple adds their own unique details.
