An abundance of bright colors does not always benefit the overall picture. Remember to have a sense of proportion! It is better to choose 2-3 similar shades or the same number of pure colors. This is enough to make the wedding bright and at the same time elegant.

Combination with other colors

The celebration involves not only the use of green, but also its combination with other shades.

Pink

Delicate pink and emerald complement each other. Combinations of olive and pink, grassy and fuchsia look stylish. This combination is suitable for summer.

Blue

The combination of blue and lime gives a wedding a fresh and elegant look. The combination of these shades looks solemn and bright. It's a healthy balance between a fun and strict atmosphere. This duet will be perfect in winter.

Yellow

A positive summer duet of yellow and emerald fills a wedding celebration with lightness, cheerfulness and energy. The combination of “sun and greenery” represents prosperity and development. Suitable for warm seasons.

White

The combination of mint and white will give the celebration a romantic, delicate shade. The holiday acquires the energy of peace and tranquility. Just right for a wedding in a classic style. You can learn how to arrange it in our other article. It gives advice on choosing a procession, decor, cake, invitations, and creating wedding images.

Table setting

Orange

Orange is associated with orange trees, pumpkins in the garden and bright gerberas. The wedding gets an energetic atmosphere thanks to the combination of orange and apple color. This is a great option for a wedding in Russian folk style. You will see this for yourself by reading our other article about the design of such a celebration. It contains interesting ideas for decorating the motorcade, choosing a registration location, outfits, cake, etc.

Subjects

Creative newlyweds take it a step further and, in addition to bright splashes of color, often add other unusual features to the traditional ceremony, such as a theme. It could be Ireland, a pirate ship, Ancient Rus', cartoon characters and much more.

Non-standard weddings are rapidly becoming fashionable, because this is an opportunity for a couple to show individuality , surprise guests and get the perfect holiday for themselves. Green color is an excellent assistant for solving the task, because it is associated with so many images, from unity with nature to delicate vintage.

Irish fun

If you want to celebrate the creation of your family on a special scale, you should take a closer look at a fun Irish wedding. Quatrefoil, harp, fairies and leprechauns, a combination of green, orange and white will transport your guests to an exotic country during the celebration.

Idea! The venue is usually chosen outdoors, in summer or spring, but moving the ceremony to an ancient castle or national pub is no less advantageous.

Traditionally, the Irish bride would wear a sky blue dress, braid her hair, and carry a bouquet of wildflowers. Nowadays bright green is used much more often, often with cheerful orange accents, but the hairstyle and modest bouquet are worth adopting! National wedding rings, the so-called Claddagh rings, look like two palms holding a crowned heart. They are considered a symbol of love, friendship and fidelity.

Irish national rituals are also interesting. For example, the hands of the bride and groom are tied with a green ribbon, and they swear allegiance to each other. It is believed that this ritual seals their destinies for a year and one day. Afterwards, you must repeat the oath, and then you will be united forever.

An ensemble specializing in Celtic music, with bagpipes and harp, will wonderfully complement the holiday , immersing you in a fairy tale.

Scottish flavor

Scottish-style weddings are no less popular. The groom, or even all male guests, can wear a national costume - a kilt. A Scottish skirt is a bold and definitely memorable decision. A less radical option would be to add the traditional red and green check as an element of costumes or decor , such as tablecloths or invitation paper.

A musician with bagpipes accompanying the couple to the altar will add solemnity and pomp. And such fiery Scottish dances as jigs will make everyone have fun until they drop. Professional dancers will be able to not only quickly conduct a master class among the guests (after all, not everyone can dance a jig), but also perform the famous national dance with swords - a truly extraordinary spectacle.

Thistle is a symbol of Scotland; it will look good as a boutonniere and will fit organically into the bride’s green bouquet!

Eco style

This type of wedding allows the newlyweds to be as close to nature as possible. The main highlight of the style is organic natural materials: wooden parts, wicker baskets, clay and stones, and, of course, a lot of plants.

The bride's dress is usually made from natural fabric - linen, cotton, wool. It is better if the cut is loose, flowing, A-line. Knitted details and lace are possible as decoration. A wreath of wildflowers and an equally modest bouquet will wonderfully complement the bride’s image. As for the hairstyle, naturalness and slight negligence come to the fore.

The groom should also prefer a suit made of natural fabric in a neutral shade. You can emphasize the color theme with the help of a boutonniere in the form of a succulent or other simple flower.

Wedding invitations can be designed on recycled craft paper with botanical motifs. A cushion for rings made from real moss will look very unusual!

Romance of the Renaissance

If you love history and literature, or simply have a romantic and subtle nature, then you should take a closer look at a wedding in the Renaissance style. A competent toastmaster will conduct the ceremony in the form of a medieval play, where the bride and groom will be the main characters, for example, Romeo and Juliet.

Idea! An interesting option would be a celebration in the format of a masquerade.

With this theme, it is better to choose a bride's dress that is floor-length, with a high waistline and long sleeves. A mint, light green, green and pink outfit looks great.

The groom, if he wants to look completely authentic, can wear a velvet camisole and short pants. You can complement the look with a beret with a feather, high boots and even a sword.

Awnings

As more and more outdoor weddings take place around the world, interest in wedding tents and decorative lighting is growing. These two components can create romance and comfort in any place, be it a closed area of ​​a restaurant or recreation center, or an open field outside the city. The main thing is to provide the site with the electricity necessary for the celebration.

Tents are well ventilated and safer in large crowds from an epidemiological point of view. At the same time, they will protect from the scorching sun, rain and wind. Even in winter you can feel quite comfortable in a heated tent. Therefore, the triumphant return of awnings and marquees to the wedding industry is not surprising; they perfectly meet the needs of the time as a venue for special events.

Bride's image

The bride is the main person at a wedding of any theme, which means she should stand out among the guests. An all-green luxury dress will cope with this task without any problems. But even with a classic white outfit they look interesting:

• emerald satin shoes;
• contrast belt;
• herbal shades in makeup;
• jewelry made of emeralds or other green stones;
• flowers and herbs woven into the hairstyle;
• bright lace inserts;
• a wreath of real flowers;
• light green veil.

At the same time, a dress, makeup and jewelry in emerald tones will overload the image. It's better to focus on one thing.

Bouquet

Here the options are limited only by your imagination. It can be:

• green roses;
• succulents;
• hellebore;
• only blooming buds of any flowers;
• green orchids;
• tulips.

It is also possible to choose a white or any other color bouquet and decorate it with green stones, sparkles or ribbons.

Lush ball gown

A wedding dress similar to a princess dress from Walt Disney cartoons should be complemented by a larger bouquet than all the previous ones in our article. It can be with a light cascade and such large lush flowers as peonies, roses of certain varieties, lilies or exotic proteas.

To create a cascade, you can use greenery and plants with hanging inflorescences. Long ribbons and other decor that visually increase the volume of the bouquet are acceptable. All this will only play into the hands of the bride and balance her silhouette, compensating for the pomp and airiness of the lower part of the wedding dress.

Groom's outfit

Dressing up in an all-green suit is an option for very creative grooms. More often they choose black, dark blue, white or cream tones. The color of the wedding is reflected in the tie, boutonniere, and scarf.

Interesting! Emerald cufflinks that match the bride’s earrings look charming. A green shirt is also an interesting solution, which, however, requires extremely careful selection - not every shade will look appropriate.

Do not forget that the boutonniere should be harmoniously combined with the bride’s bouquet.

Table decoration for newlyweds

The floristry of the festive table depends on the room, wedding theme, and color scheme. Lighting and room temperature are taken into account when choosing flowers. The tablecloth is decorated with flower garlands, the petals are scattered in random order.

It is preferable to use low bouquets and low vases so that the flowers do not block the newlyweds. Flower balls hanging from the ceiling can liven up a space and create an atmosphere of romance. The wall behind the newlyweds is decorated with flowers depending on the overall decoration of the hall.

On a note. Modern trends involve the use of dried flowers, willow sticks, ears of wheat, and cotton, which create an original and cozy atmosphere.

Dress code for guests

A large number of guests dressed in outfits of the same color will create an overabundance and will look strange in photographs , so we advise you to specify in the dress code not a monochrome suit, but only a mandatory accessory of the shade you need.

Bridesmaids can wear matching dresses or create a gradient from light to dark or mint to olive. The bride's outfit can be either in the middle of this gradient or stand out in other ways.

As for the groomsmen, matching ties or shirts will look interesting. You can purchase the necessary accessories together so that there is no discrepancy in tones. Another option is vests, boutonnieres or even witness ribbons in emerald tones.

Let's add accessories

If this design is not enough for you, then I can suggest supplementing it with small color accessories. For example, bonbonnieres on guest tables, exquisite or, conversely, funny figures made from bright napkins.

Personalized menus, place cards, and gifts for guests can also add color to your table. The walls can be decorated with voluminous colored letters. For example, from foam plastic. An interesting idea would be a collage of various photographs of the bride and groom.

Decor

Elegant bright details or elegant monochrome when decorating a motorcade, banquet and outdoor ceremony, invitations and wedding accessories - the choice is yours.

Wedding procession

It is difficult to get a completely green limousine, so an easier option is to decorate the car with emerald ribbons and balls.

For a Renaissance wedding or just for horse lovers, renting a horse-drawn carriage is a charming option. Satin green ribbons or feathers can decorate both the carriage itself and the horses' manes.

Place

If you decide to have a wedding outdoors, then you have a huge choice. A tent or a country estate, a field, a river or a forest, or maybe even a beach? Green touches will brighten up any decoration.
In the room, balloons of one or two shades, white and green hearts (or four-leaf clovers), and deep green bows on white seat covers look great.

Idea! The tablecloth can be either green or white with bright accents - embroidery, lace or other interior items.

Invitations

Invitations can be more or less standard, decorated with green satin ribbon or lace, or completely unusual:

• printed on tartan or velvet quatrefoils;
• edible invitations carved into limes or apples are a fresh and tasty solution;
• A sweeter option is invitations on macarons of the desired shade.

Table

The best decoration for the festive table at a green wedding is, of course, a variety of greens. These can be cut flowers or potted plants.

Mojito, mint jelly, limes and green apples in transparent vases will also highlight the main accent of the celebration. You can arrange colored candles, choosing them a shade lighter than the main one, or lay out bright green lace napkins.

Cake

What wedding would be complete without this sweet symbol of love? Sticking to our theme, you can offer a cake:

• covered with green mastic;
• decorated with sugar figures of the desired shade;
• intersected with minty layers;
• garnished with kiwi or pistachios;
• with a completely green sponge cake.

Accessories

Glasses, fully colored or with elegant paintings, will add sophistication to the ceremony. You can put a small satin bow or lace ribbon on each glass.

A journal of wishes, depending on the theme of the wedding, can be either an old book in which you should write with a pen and emerald ink, or real leaves, apple slices, or green candies.

Succulents or other potted plants are suitable as gifts for guests. You can also consider the option of baskets with green fruits.

How to issue invitations

The role of creative invitation cards is great - this is an indisputable fact. This is where the ceremonial beginning begins, so it is important to present these meaningful cards in the best possible way.

Possible design and design options:

• The most common option is themed invitations, which are in selected colors. You can purchase ready-made postcards and sign them manually.
• You can order postcard templates on which the invitation text will be printed. The paper should be dense in structure and of good quality. White color. You can choose a matte or glossy surface. It’s better to decorate the invitation yourself. The most successful options are green satin ribbons, artificial flowers and lace.
• An invitation printed on a template in the form of a green leaf will look interesting.
• You can write out the text of the invitation for the witness and witness, relatives on white paper and roll it up, while tying it with a green ribbon.

Photo

Green can be the perfect color choice for a wedding any time of the year. It was considered a symbol of life, besides, green shades are the best way to refresh and look completely different every time.

Wedding cake in green colors

The main wedding dessert is decorated in a themed color. You can choose a light green fondant cake decorated with contrasting colored figures or floral arrangements. A multi-tiered cake in a beautiful green color with white buds and a “necklace” on each tier made of snow-white edible beads looks impressive.

An alternative solution is to decorate the cake in white or another contrasting color with green decorative elements. In good cooking, the newlyweds will be offered different options for decorating the wedding cake in accordance with the chosen color theme of the celebration.

A properly organized wedding in green with thoughtful decorative elements will impress guests and create a noble holiday atmosphere conducive to a comfortable and relaxing holiday.

Floristry of the hall

Floral arrangements for the wedding hall are in harmony with all other floral decor. When designing, the layout of the room is taken into account.

Florists adhere to basic rules:

• Form. Columns, railings, arches that are in the hall are decorated and new structures with artificial and fresh flowers are also built.
• Parallels, in which flower arrangements are arranged strictly in rows, taking into account the shade of the flowers.
• Vegetative, includes the use of trees, fruits, berries, stones.
• Decorative decor that uses round-shaped compositions with flowing elements.
• Formo-linear version using floor floral designs.

It is very important not to overload the wedding hall decor with a large number of floral decorations. The decor can be supplemented with bright details, balls, sparkles, but only in moderation
