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?

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.

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
