Turn your garden into an island
A few clever touches and everyone feels like they are in the tropics. These classics cannot be missing.
Tiki torches
Nothing says luau like a row of burning tiki torches at dusk. Place them safely, along the path or around the table.
Bamboo & leaves
Large monstera and palm leaves as placemats or backdrop, bamboo as fencing or bar. Green makes it real.
Flower leis
Leis and hibiscus everywhere: on the door, on the table, around the neck. Go for bright pink, yellow and orange.
Mood lighting
Fairy lights, pastel lanterns and tea lights in coconut shells. Warm light finishes the evening.
The tiki bar
A bamboo table or a reed front becomes your bar. Pineapple, coconuts and colourful straws do the rest.
Music & sound
Ukulele, surf rock and soft Hawaiian tunes in the background. A good playlist instantly sets the mood.
A sunset on a plate
Keep it warm and tropical: the palette of a Hawaiian sunset. Deep night blue as a resting point, coral and flamingo pink for the flowers, and a glow of sun orange and gold.
