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?

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!
