Every year Pinterest releases Pinterest Predicts – a trend forecasting series based on what the people of Pinterest are searching for. And in 2024, the social-media-turned-search-engine site is sensing that tropical vibes are going to be big.
Whether it’s rising global temperatures or tropical beaches and rainforest wanderlust, it seems the masses are longing to make the summery vibes last. They want to capture the exotic in the:
- drinks they mix (pineapple mocktails searches are up 70%),
- food they eat (Hawaiian traybake chicken is up 35%)
- décor they’re putting in their homes (tropical chic décor is up 110%).
At the heart of this tropical trend are plants and flowers. Of course, there are the obvious ones: pineapples, coconuts, and palms. But they’re not the only flora, fauna, and fruit you should focus on if you want to tropic like it’s hot.
Bringing the exotic to your bouquets and arrangements
If you’re gifting a bouquet this year, or looking to make a centerpiece for your home or event, add a selection of tropical cut flowers to give it that straight-out-of-paradise look.

Florist tip: Make the tropical aspects of your bouquet pop by balancing them with more traditional flowers such as carnations, dahlias, gerbera, and daisies. These flowers offer beautiful shape and fill out the arrangement, but come in more neutral tones so your tropical blooms remain the stars of the show.
Give your Vegas garden the tropical touch
Las Vegas isn’t in the tropics, so it doesn’t have a tropical climate—humid, hot, and sunny, with downpours of refreshing rain. In fact, we have the opposite—dry, hot summers, followed by dry cool winters, and super cold overnight temperatures. So making the tropical aesthetic work in a Las Vegas garden requires some creativity.
The plants you choose need to be drought-tolerant while still capturing those equatorial vibes. That may sound like a big ask, but there are plenty of plants that fit this description. And with a little extra TLC, they should withstand the tough Vegas desert conditions.

Keep ridin’ the trend wave
As a Las Vegas florist, flowers and plants are obviously our thing. But when bouquet buying or garden tending aren’t on your to-do list, how else can you ride this wave? We have a few ideas.
Pick bright pots
When your houseplants need repotting, put them in brightly colored planters inspired by the equatorial region. Or, if you’re feeling arty, breathe new life into plain pots by painting and decorating them using tropical themes. Find inspiration on Pinterest by searching for ‘decorated plant pots tropical.’
Accessorize with bright, bold, outdoor cushions
Spice up your outdoor seating with cushions that feature pineapples, tropical flowers, coconuts, and palm leaf motifs. Or for something more abstract, go for strong, colorful, bold patterns that are on-song with Latin American culture.
Get comfy amongst the bamboo
Nothing says lazy days and holidays like bamboo’s light and breezy aesthetic. More sustainable and eco-friendly than other wood, bamboo-made furniture and accessories are the go-to for homeowners who want exotic styling.
Adding tropical accents to your grazing boards
You’ll need something to go with those pineapple mocktails and margaritas. Fortunately, keeping your grazing board on trend is simple. Use banana leaves to present food, keep the crown of the pineapple for decoration, add hibiscus flowers and violets for extra flourish, and use plenty of colorful foods.
Start living the tropical trend
Bring some sunshine into your life or brighten up someone else’s day with a plant or one of these arrangements from our bouquet collection. They’ll all fit with the tropical vibe. And if you order your ray of sunshine before noon (PST) on Monday-Saturday we can do same-day delivery anywhere in Vegas.
