Dreaming of a Dazzling Green Theme Wedding
But in weddings, green's got a feel all its own, and that feel is fresh, slightly preppy, and above all, modern.
If you're reading this, you've probably found yourself smitten with that look that's unique to the green flower families.
For example: green-tipped hydrangeas and chrysanthemum buttons, green hypericum berries and chartreuse roses, even green anthuriums and callas: they look amazing, and leave you wanting more.
Pink and green's a winning combination that grabs many brides right out of the gate. They're nearly opposites on the color wheel, which makes them deeply satisfying together.
And combined, they have a signature freshness that makes them equally at home in the fun-loving West Coast, deep Deco Miami, or the super-saturated Caribbean.
And perhaps even more so than all of the above? The preppy East. Especially when in a garden or a great airy tent near the beach, the East Coast wedding seems to be home base for this beguiling combination. Green and pink says "daytime," "cocktail length bridesmaids gowns," and an absolutely charming sense of understated fun.
Of course, brides have a wealth of choices beyond pink when it comes time to partner up green.
Purple, for example, injects a subtle sense of mystery. So does dialing back from lime green to a more Mediterranean olive. And once you've gone with olive, that invites some super-sophisticated pairings, such as bronze or copper.
Equally beautiful is any shade of green that's paired with some beautifully patterned black and white ... say, a monochromatic damask or toile design.
And deep chocolate brown makes another gorgeous showcase for green. Its groundedness takes the green theme well into fall, and — if you want it to — more formal territories. Plus, this combo's easier to adapt to indoor evening affairs.
Sage green, olive green, apple green, sour apple, lime green, hunter, chartreuse ...
... which distinctly gorgeous shade of green are you going with?
Hello,
I am getting married in September of 2010. I would really like my bridesmaids to wear short kelly green dresses with white/green bouquets and I would like to carry Fuschia colored bouquet. Now, I am also trying to come up with a theme and a third colore to tie it all together, but having a tough time. Our ceremony will be outside in a garden and then the reception will be indoors. I was thinking of maybe incorporating the garden theme indoors for the reception. Also, I know that Kelly Green is very bright, which is why I need a neutral third color, any suggestions?
Thank you - Lily
Lily, Hi,
i love the idea of carrying the garden theme indoors. you could use champagne, taupe, or ivory. i think the champagne or taupe would look fantastic especially with the kelly green.
* ideas
isnt it fabulous!! see the flowers have bright green foilage. it would tie the kelly green in very nicely. it would be easy and fun to have kelly green table linens and have an oversized champagne topper ( so just a peek of kelly green or even fuschia would shine through) use centerpieces of green, white and fuschia and it would pick up on the green from underneath in the foilage. another thing you could do for the centerpieces is add floating green apples in cylinders topped with flowers.
* more visuals
* okay, this is fun and refreshing…just fantastic!!
* i think i might have found ya something….the linens are white but more fuschia/hot pink was brought in… still pulling in your green into the room, just toned down like ya wanted. so instead of adding another color you could just use the fuschia to be the “neutralizer” and use the green more in the centerpieces
Hi
I am getting married march 2010 and having green and orange as my colour scheme. problem is that everyone things it’s not a nice combination but i really love the two colours. can you give me an idea of how to mix and match and the shades that will work best or you could just tell me they dont work well together! it’s a garden wedding and large too. xxwendy
PS Forgot to ask i have a dark skin tone and most of my brides maids too!

Ok so I just found this website and I need some help from all. Ive always loved sunflowers so thats what I want to use as the main flowers in my wedding april 24 2010. Here is the question my fiance thinks that sage green dresses and vest would look good only thing is the church carpet and seats are a dark green will that clash? I like a the berry color dresses that davids bridal has or either a yellow I need some help I dont really want to mix alot of differant flowers, any help would be nice.
amy,
actually pairing sage green with this would work. it would be monochromatic ( shades of one color ranging from light to dark). also the leaves will be darker in the bouquets that will also bring in deeper green and give balance. the only thing that i would find out to confirm my color is having the bm try on the sage. some skintones have a difficult time wearing this color. it tends to wash out and the bridal party wont feel confident and it wont look good in pictures. i am a pale olive skintone and i cant wear sage at all. it makes me look very unhealthy. yellow does my skintone that same. i would go to a bridal store and try on different colors. you are in luck cause most everything goes perfect with green. if you are going with something simple and very pleasing to the eye, you might find berry and the sunflowers may not look as well as the green or the yellow.
hi stacey,i am confused.my favourite colors are olive and white and dats what i wanted to use for my wedding but my fiance says i should think of another color because most of our friends who got married recently used olive.
i want to use other colors but would love to add olive to the combinations.can u suggest some colors for me.
jeanie,
could you tell me what your wedding date is and the type of wedding you want? what colors isyour venue so i can find another color to compliment.
I getting married next year in May. I am thinking to use sage and silver or sage and gray. what do you think?

Hi, my fiance and I will be getting married in October of this year and we are trying to keep are buget the lowest we can! I am doing all the color cordinating and I need some help! I my bridesmaids will be wearing a clover (green) color and grooms men chocolate brown tuxs. The hall we rented for our receptions is all hard wood walls and floors. I feel that if I pick a chocolate brown for my linens it will really darken the room and if I choose clover it may be a little bright. What about ivory? My center pieces will be a plain vases with white gladiolus. Im so confuse and frustrated on what to choose for the linens. Thanks in advance!
Damaris,
you could choose mocha, cream, white, or champagne. but to keep it in simple and the budget low, white can be the least expensive. i would talk to the rental store about the linens to see if there is any price difference. if not, then you could go with any of the colors above and btw, i LOVE your centerpieces.
oh yeah, you couls also have the white or lighter linen and have runners in mocha or even brown. it would be a mix not being to dark.
*green and brown wedding reception
*green and brown wedding board
*wedding reception pics
(it would look a lot like the last pic on this site, isnt it absolutely breathtaking!) i saved this pic cause i think it is sooo pretty, and simply done, which stands out even more. mocha runners, and brown napkins, on white linens. beautiful! consider adding inexpensive white twinkle lights too. it makes it magical.
Thanks! I really like the ideas of having a mocha overlay with ivory linens and brown napkins with the twinkle lights too!! I’m so excited! Thanks! I will send you a picture!!
damaris,
have a beautiful wedding!!
I would go with the ivory and put more color in the center pieces.

Hi there,
My Husband and I married in on May 30th this year and we used green as the main colour for our wedding. We had teal for the bridesmaids and this is where the green came from, we mixed this with white to keep it really clean and simple, although I did have some pale purple sweet peas in bouquet.
We use very dark green and very crisp white to make a contrast.
Hello,
Your wedding sounds beautiful and is exactly the colors i’m considering. Would you mind sending some photos?
Congratulations!!
Cherise
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. I will post pictures as soon as I find the data disc. My husband has misplaced it.

Hi… I am getting married in September. My bridesmaids dresses are an eggplant color. For the reception I would like to you use plum, sage and taupe colors. I am not sure how to put this together for the table setting. Suggestions?
cynthia,
first start with the taupe linens and sage overlays or runners or just sage linens with taupe napkins, the green and taupe backdrop will be perfect to pull in shades of purple and green centerpieces ( i would use purples and green hydrangea with roses optional) you will have a table that is pulled together and elegant. if you let me know the style of your wedding or waht the venue looks like i canhelp more if youlike!!
Hello,
I need some serious help and advise with the colors for my wedding. I have chosen teal dresses and want to have yellow bouquets. The problem is I can’t evision the reception room at all with these colors? Any pictures would be greatly appreciated!!
cherise,
here is loads of pics, just search thru the google images.

you will find aqua is a similar palette. loads of pics here too…

Hi, I wanna get married in light blue and white. Is this fine?
sarah, it is perfect! also google image blue and white weddings also blue and white wedidng board for decor ideas too!! i hope i understood the post right.
and you meant wedding gown. actually blue WAS the traditional color for brides long before white( before white became popular around 1840, blue was the symbol of purity) so your pulling from a piece of history!
Renewing vows on Feb. 6, 2010 at Ouisie’s Table.
Ceremony: outside garden
Reception: indoor porch. natural room, mossy green walls.
At a loss for colors that will work with the restaraunts wall color and chairs (rattan style chairs in varying shades of green/taupe).
layla,
what are the colors you like/dislike? you could have a shades of green wedding which would be beautiful. another color is a shade of purple. google image purple and green wedding then green wedding board.
are you wanting a winter theme or will it be cold there? i do love the peach in the picture. blue and green would work(google image blue and green wedding board) i google imaged brown and green wedding board (love this!!) with creamy white flowers and peachy centers would set this room alive in a romantic way with lots of candlelight!!
there are MANY colors that would work in this room, depends on the mood your trying to set. go to theknot.com click wedding photos and it will bring you to a color gallery. see what pops out. you can even do a mix of colors (you and your fh faves along with colors sentimental to you). looking forward to your post.
We’re planning an intimate lunch for 70.
It’s going to be Feb. 6 (it may be cold, may not be… I’m in Texas so we never know) so a winter theme is what I’m thinking. I don’t care for light pastels. With the muted wall color, I want a punch of color.
I like the idea of flowering plants for centerpieces (possibly azaleas or hibiscus).
More pics of the “Lucy’s Porch”.
layla,
love the idea of flowering plants. i would check the availability of these as azaleas. i live in louisiana and our weather being so crazy, you never know what will be in season!! lol. beautiful venue btw. you know i think fuschia or a deep pink would be gorgeous against this backdrop. or maybe a tangerine or dreamsicle orange. gogole image green and orange wedding. but personally i think the hot pink azalea color will punch it up. however it may not keep it with the intimate look your after, oh wow!! i think i found something!! heh what about using coral? its punchy and elegant at the same time!! wow this would make the room look amazing!! i just looked at coral azaleas and they are gorgeous!! this color is like pink it will give a happy glow to skintones and the room. yet will suit february really nice!!
*Jessica & Danny’s Inspiration Board

*Real Wedding: A Colorful Desert Wedding ( this is pretty and its a bold color winter wedding!!) azaleas or hibiscus in tangerine would be gorgeous!! i just think this would look soooo good against the muted walls. tangerine might be easier to find.

Thank you so much for your help and guidance! I’m happy to announce we have chosen our colors: brown and apple green with fuschia accents!!!

Hello
wondering if anyone can help?
I am getting married in November and have chosen a stone coloured dress for myself and am thinking olive green bridesmaid dresses. Have no idea about flower colours for boquets or table setting??
Can anyone help?
Nicky
nicky,
i would go with something like yellow or peach/or shade of orange and cream or white. though you could pretty much do anything with the green and stone. google image olive green wedding board.
i have some sites here to look at…
*wedding flowers …. yellow
*wedding flowers … orange
(just look at everthing at this website)
also waht is your fave colors? fh? i would like to see if that works too.
I am getting married in July and I have chosen the colors of hunter green and champagne and my dress is an ivory with a champagne sash. It is outdoors, and I cannot for the life of me figure out any flowers that seem to fit. It is going to be an evening wedding at 7:00 p.m. I also need help with flower girl dresses, bridesmaids dresses, table settings, and centerpieces. The reception is being held at a VFW and it is a fairly large wedding with 200 people. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Krystin, there is nothing more beautiful than a green and white or ivory/champagne wedding. and these are the colors i would keep without adding an ounce of 3rd flower color, unless you use creamy white flowers that have a very slight blush to them or a pale yellow. tie off the wedding bouquets in a deeper shade of mocha-ish champagne. you can have girls in champagne or hunter green, both would look great with the lighter green florals, as im champagne and green wedding board.
put flower girl in champagne dress with hunter green or mocha sash.
i would use champagne as my primary color in the reception hall. as in pic. tie in hunter green in simple touches ( favor bags, etc.) consider deep,clear green for centerpiece containers or green wine goblets)

Hi I am geeting married in June of this year. My colors are lime green and a blue (like the indianapolis colts blue) was wondering if you guys could offer some advice and tips for me. It is going to be a small wedding maybe 50 people. The wedding and reception will be at the same place.
erin,
could you tell me a little more about the formality? i didn’t know if it was simple cake and punch or intimate elegant, or casual fun. where is your venue? house of worship? restaurant?

i love, love, love this wedding! so simple and in your colors! if you wanted to go a more budget friendly route on centerpieces, simple green apples or limes in beautiful glass vases or bowls.i saw this and said to myself, i bet this is the one with the ideas your looking for!! i would use lighter blue or soft lime green dresses withthe royal blue and lime bouquets though. to me, it compliments so much better.
*Joy & Robbie at Gibbet Hill Farm , Groton Mass. June 3, 2006
Its is actually going to be in a room called the Dolphin room at the Texas State Aquarium. Its a room where one whole wall is glass and you can see the dolphins right up to the glass. Its going to be causual but not like flips flops and shorts. I want cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake and I will have like shrimp and chicken pasta for the food. I want it to be very intimate thats why I am only having the 50 people.
erin, wow this is gonna be so fab!! i just looked at the website, (WOW!) i love this!!heh i live in louisiana, can i crash the party!! no i am just joking!!
i wish i could see this!! post pics after!
okay, seriously, i agree with the way you are going with this. i would go with orchids, hydrangeas or a tropical flower, with green amaranthus.( i would use this for sure because it will give a ocean feel to your flowers,)
here is an idea: consider white or beige linens, have small square vases fill with blue food dyed water(in the indianapolis colts blue) and floating candle. i would count each place setting and put a floating candle(out of the way so it cant be knocked over) in center have centerpieces of green and white flowers, you can keep these as low or high as you want. keep this simple. thin about adding simple seashells in your centerpiece, just a few though. or as placecards set in a box of sand. not so much ocean theme, just enough.
i think the centerpiece pic with the branches etc is very nice. it would set this room off, but not to much in the centerpieces cause the aquarium should make an impact. if orchids or hydrangeas is too pricey, then think of a flower you think you would see at the ocean. roses fit, but many websites, i have read roses are not really ocean like. its more orchids, greenery(which you will need to use), lilies, bougainvillea, etc. if the table linens are blue just keep the decor the same. the blue tined water will be gorgeous against them!! here is a link that shows the tinted water and submerged orchids(this would work too, not with the dyed water though)
*Centerpiece Idea 1: Change the container shape
Wow I have been trying to figure out my 2nd color for the past 3 months and this has helped so much. However, i’m still stuck! To all you ladys who actually has a sense of color PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
elizabeth, first i want to ask you some questions.
What color is your venue?
What is your theme, if any?
What is your wedding formality?
What colors are in your home and closet? Most of these colors are already a part of what you are drawn too.
What is your fave color? His?
Are there any colors that have special meaning to you and/or your fh, that you would like to incorporate?
What are colors you and/or your fh dislike, that is not an option?
These questions should help you narrow down some colors. When you have a chance, look at these questions and see what you come up with. Usually you already know what you love or at least drawn too. Please let me know and i will find some ideas for you to post!! Good Luck!
Wow! I love this page - you are absolutely fabulous! I am getting married in October and am concentrating on an olive green and light pink color scheme. My fiance and I both have green eyes and love the color. My dress will be ivory - which I also love with olive green. I am thinking about having a light pink gerbera daisies in the bouquets?? BUT… I am having a VERY hard time finding olive green bridesmaid dresses - anyone seen any anywhere or know of a company/designer that carries a nice olive green color?
Thanks so much ladies!
Hi jamie,
I know i love this site too! Im getting married in July and having Olive Green as my colour scheme! I too have been having MASSIVE dramas finding nice b’maids dresses. Finally i have found nice ones on the Dessy.com website. While the colour is not actually called Olive, its called Moss, but i have actually got a fabric swatch, and its as close as im gonna get i think!!! The other option is to have them made, there seems to be a greater choice of fabric colours available. Im going to keep the rest of the colour scheme real fresh and crisp so all ivory and whites and greens to complement the olive of course (and maybe a hint of pink in the b’maids bouquets!). Good luck :)
why don’t you try bridalonlinestore.com or bestbridalprices.com I have found so much on these sites
Hi Jamie,
Try these place DAVIDS BRIDAL, ANN TAYLOR, and ALFRED ANGELO

danielle,
i also thought about purple.. an eggplant purple.. look up a picture of an eggplant for inspiration. the green leaves on the dark purple are so beautiful together. have you seen david’s bridal purple bridesmaid dresses? they make some nice deep shaded ones.. you can incorporate green with the flower arrangements too.. anyways.. i love the idea of the deep purple and pear green together.. good choice. i would just google “purple and green wedding” and see what you get!!
I am getting married Aug 08/09. I was thinking about having purple in my wedding, but I also like green. Does anyone have ideas on how to put them together? Pictures??? I am really not very good at this sort of thing…lol
You and I are getting married 1 month apart. Me 9/26/09..I was loving Purple/Lavendar with Chocolate…Or some family of Greens…I could probably use your help.
Sarah,
The article didn’t mention a hunter green probably because of the reason you already stated: it’s not trendy. The article is giving ideas for the colors that people are picking a lot these days.. Fresh greens.. not forest greens. I like hunter green, but I’m just giving a reason for why they probably didn’t mention it…… I’m choosing fresh happy green!
I’m going with the very un-trendy hunter green, (think a dark green, like an evergreen tree), for my winter wedding. I’ve been able to find what I need, but it can be difficult at times. I notice that this article didn’t mention using a dark green once. I’m using evergreen seedlings for the centerpieces which the guests can take home and plant. My accent colors are gold and white.
Our wedding, two Septebers ago, was full of hunter green, with white and silver accents. Trendy or not, we were delighted with the results, and had many wonderful compliments on the look.
im getting married in november, my theme colour is apple green and my changing dress i royal blue and silver, will they match? can royal
blue blend with apple green? pleas advise, dont want to clash.
My step sister is getting married and has chosen the colors: orange, purple and lime green. I am having difficulties finding decorations in that combination. Any suggestions? I am trying to find a guest book in these colors. The lime green is for accent.
I am doing decorations for a quinceanera and her colors are lime green and turquoise. Are turquoise blue and turquoise two different colors? I ordered some tulle online and its close to an island or a royal blue but it is turqouise. and her balloons that i will be ordering soon are nowhere near that color? Help!!!
I am also using Turquoise and lime green for my wedding, with small parts robinsegg. I am having a hell of a bother finding decorations to go with it!
There are oodles of colors that look good with coral that isn’t brown! Here are some ideas:
1. coral and apple green
2. coral and ocean blue
3. coral and red
4. coral and fuschia
5. coral with creams and whites would also be really pretty!
is there any color that looks good with coral that isn’t brown?
britt,
My friend is getting married October of this year, and her colors are green, black, and white. I think these colors are beautiful anytime of the year. Just use whatever color(s) make you happy.
i’m getting married in september!
but i’m stuck..i wanted a summer themed wedding, in the summer. but we pushed it back to september; would it be dumb to still have summer themes when its autumn?
i want my main color to be green–with black and white.
& i want my bridesmaids to wear short summer like dresses.
will this work without the summer sun?
note: this is in alaska.
i love lime green and purple together right now. Will that work for a sept/oct wedding?
Im Getting Married Aug 16th 2008, My Fiance is in AIT at the moment he will be deployed in Sept. I Need Help On The Colors. We are Haveing The Arche Of Swords. But Im Stuck On What Colors To Have The Flowers And The BridesMaides Dresses PLEASEE HELPPP!!
hi everyone..can i have ur suggestions? just thinkin if lime green and silver are good together..
We have chosen olive green and copper with copper being more of an accent color. Problem is when we went to look at the bridesmaid dresses the green color is not good but the copper color is gorgeous. My question is how do I bring the green back in. I really don’t want my groom wearing a copper tie for example. The venue requires you to use there linens which are white, so cannot do an olive chair tie back like above, which is beautiful.
The flowers are green & white hydranges, large white calla lillies, green orchids and the rose petals for the aisle and after the ceromony are rust, bringing in the copper. The men will have green orchids on their jackets with the groom having a double orchid. Center pieces are large callas, with green orchids with copper stones at the bottom of the large vase
Please help, racking my brain and getting more & more confused
I am getting married in august and my colours are green, ivory with bits of gold. I want my bridsemaid to wear green dresses and my sister who is the maid of honour wants to wear a gold dress.I am confused on how to accessorize them but i don’t want them to look very different yet still individual. Should the style of the bridesmaid dressed be different from the maid of honour and the same colour, or the same style and different colours.There is a green tie in the picture above what shade of green is it, and any suggestions where i can find them.thanks
i got married last mth and my colours were olive green ivory with a touch of gold and my maid of honour was gold. i hope the photo helps u out
Wow! This website is a thumbs up! I have imagined my wedding exactly like this. I will definitaly be using this website for more ideas for my wedding.
Hi Paula, if you just print that out & take it to a florist they can replicate it for you; if I misunderstood just let me know!
Lacey, what other colors are you thinking of pairing with green? Green & chocolate brown is perfect for fall … a lot of people think “spring” with green and pink wedding, but I think you could still pull it off with some planning or just confidence.
Lots of unusual choices you could pick, too. For example, kelley green and navy blue are super-preppy and great for summer or fall.
Thanks Elaine for that i’ll put that in mind for my last option.
Hi Blake@FavorIdeas, could you please tell me where i can get the buttonhole on the guy above in ‘green weddings - 2′.
Paula, I have got a lime green and ivory theme but my bridesmaids wouldn’t be seen dead in green dresses! I have found the most fab dresses in Debenhams - champagne gold with green stripes running down, including lime green. My bridesmaids love them!
Can I have a wedding in autumn and have green as my main color or will it look too “springy”?

Hi, this website gave me an inspiration for my wedding colour. We have chosen green & ivory. now we’ve gone far with the colour theme but i can’t seem to find green bridesmaid dress. CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE. Our wedding is next month.
Aug bride, think coordinate, not match — your wedding will look MUCH more designed, put together and visually interesting if you bring together different threads of an overall color scheme instead of sweating over matching. :D>-
Or not to name names, but if you look at the two-page spreads of a certain major dress store where the BMs, flower girls, groomsmen’s vests and bride’s sash are all the EXACT same color, you can easily pick up on a monotonous quality … right?
I’m getting married in August and my colors are chocolate brown and green. Would it be ok if I have my bridesmaids in brown dresses and groomsmen with green ties or do they typically all need to wear the same colors?
Sal, maybe checkout this ivory, brown and royal purple mood board, it might spark some ideas:

… with little touches of chartreuse, it’s fresh while still being grounded by the chocolate brown and neutral base.
By daisies were you thinking gerber, or the white and yellow shastas?
Hello,
I’m getting married on August 31st and have realized that I do not have a creative bone in my body…lol. I’m trying to set a theme/colours, an need a little direction. I like the idea of brown and Ivory, but I would like an accent colour. Having said that, I don’t really want a pastel colour. Any suggestions? P.S. I also love daisies.
I want to have a wedding at the end of April, and i am thinking about going with the color schemes of aqua and chartreuese. That is like a lime green. It is very different, but very beautiful. If anyone has any sugessitions on were i may be able to find accessorries, etc for the wedding. I have not planned anything yet, but i want my wedding to be very unique. Thanks!
How can I find out how to order the wedding dress above…two piece, bride is leaning against a wall, just the picture of her waist to her knees and holding a palm leaf ball w/pearls. Thanks!

I’m preparing for my wedding in December… I’m still undecided on the colour… i like green, lime and lemon. plz help
Hi there!
I am getting married in July this year and we have chosen sage and seamist for our colours….the bridesmaid dresses are different combinations of the same colours…need advice on what colours and types of flowers?
And here’s another for you … green and orange. :D>-
Kylee, if you’re not into green and pink, what about green and red? I think this sort of strange-sounding combo looks summery and fresh while still being on the classic side. (pic attached)
Me and my fiance wanted to do a brown with green but our wedding is in the summer so were trying to think of something that would be more summery but we dont know what? do you have any ideas?
Hi Kathy, I just added some favors (above) that people have recently saved that might work for green color schemes. And here’s more green favors (just added!)
As for decorating, do you have a theme? Is your feel more casual or formal?
HELP!!! I need help with a theme!!! Im getting married in March 2008. I have my wedding colors already which is peridot and champagne!!!! Please help!!!
I’m getting married in April and I have also chosen sage for my color. Well, sage and ivory to be exact. For favors we are doing evergreen seedlings. They are about $2.00 each and we are planning on doing one per couple with a little note asking our guests to plant the tree.
Hope that helps.
Congratulations.
Hello,
I am getting Married in May. I have chosen the color Sage for my color. My problem is trying to find favors and decorating ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions????

Hi Ashley,
Im thinking of a mediterranean themed wedding as well..planning on marquee in back garden, so blank canvas! Initial thoughts are olives/mexe plate for started followed by a spit roast - slow roasted lamb (very greek/med!) and then dunno what desserts yet..oh and with ouzo shots on the table to get people in the mood!!! And, really good med wines…colour wise and decorations…how about terracotta pots with big candles in, on the floor to act as uplighters, um…..fairy lights, as the centrepieces, you could have vine leaves and twine all done artistically!!!…..before i thought of the medditerranean idea i was liking the gun metal grey and pink colour scheme for the bridesmaide, but not sure that will work with a med theme..so will have to rethink a few things……
I just cant decided…there are soo many options and all are lovely!!! One minute i want something elegant and refined and then the next minute something fun like the med idea!!! Aghghgh! Let me know what u think..have u come up with any other ideas????
We are trying to pull of a mediterranean theme wedding by having greek food and wines from spain, greece, france etc. But we are having trouble choosin colors and finding decorations that will make this look work. We love the shades of blue, which reminded us of the water in Greece. Any suggestions?? Thanks
Ashley
