Mission: Color Scheme Green

September 29th, 2010 | Author: Sarah

Green Wedding Color Scheme There are many colors that seem to get used more than others for weddings. Reds are very popular, along with black, pink, and blue. But people seem to overlook the simple, natural choice of green. It's a mystery why, however, because there are so many ways to make green the most magnificent color scheme out there.

Green Wedding Flowers

Simple white roses, daisies, or any color really, if you wish the flowers to pop, you can always go with bold and vibrant bouquets to really accent your bridesmaids.

For reception decorations, opt for white flowers and green tablecloths. These look beautiful together and when you look around the room from your bridal party table, you'll love the way everything looks so unique and coordinated.

Green Wedding Favors

Decide why you wanted to use green as your wedding color scheme. Was it because you wanted to 'go green' and be eco-friendly? If so, then choose eco friendly wedding favors. These are great to go with your theme. Maybe you chose green because you love the way it's nature inspired and you love the way flowers complement it so naturally with every petal. If that's the case, then opt for items that would revert to your original inspiration. Favors involving flowers, nature, or something of the sort, would be sure to incorporate your original ideas.

Green Reception Sites

Choose a reception site that will accent your color choice. A place that would work wonderfully might just be a garden or an outdoor reception site in the Spring, Summer or Fall. The grass will undoubtedly coordinate with your decor, dresses, flowers, and everything else that you'd prepared for the big day!

You could even swing this the other way, where you produce an elegant reception hall with white and green draped from the ceiling. Use crisp green, white or even yellow linens to make the color scheme carry through the whole reception site.

Black, White & Green Wedding Cakes

March 17th, 2010 | Author: DessertLover

Black and white is truly a classic wedding color scheme that has been used again and again by brides over the years. That said, a recent trend amongst brides is to add a great accent color such as green or yellow to the mix. And why not? A timeless classic spiced up with a punch of color is a great way to modernize a wedding.

Planning a Spring Wedding? Nothing symbolizes spring more than the emergence of green foliage so why not tie a fresh Springtime green into your wedding color scheme! One of my favorite things about green is the wide range of hues to choose from....lime, a yellow-green chartreuse, or a bright grass green are my favorite shades to pair with black and white.

If you are looking for some inspiration, check out the collage of wedding cake photos below. I've pulled together some of my favorite black and white cakes that feature green accents. Whether you are going for a fun whimsical look or an elegant more traditional look, you can utilize green to achieve amazing results. Patterns such as polka dots, stripes or tilted layers can be used to create more laid-back cake designs while patterns such as damask, quilting, and flourish can be used for traditional cakes. Accenting with green bows or flowers such as calla lilies or orchids can also add a bit of pop to a beautiful wedding cake.
