From Cedar to Lime: Ways to Use Green

From Cedar to Lime: Ways to Use Green

Each year, when St. Patrick’s Day comes around, our thoughts turn to all manner of things green! Whether you’re thinking of emerald, mint, kelly green, forest green, chartreuse, sage, celery, cedar and lime – green in a great color to use in a wedding. It may not be the most popular, but green weddings can certainly be beautiful. It’s the perfect choice for a rustic wedding, a garden ceremony, or a way to bring the outdoors into a ballroom. Gathering inspiration from nature to design a beautiful, verdant celebration. Emerald decor is a complement to a wedding in any season. Whether you elect to incorporate green as a primary hue in your wedding floral palette, or decide to just incorporate foliage as a decor accent, you’ll love “going green” for your wedding!

There are a host of green flowers available, from green roses, thistle, hellebores, tulips, button mums, orchids, viburnum, berries, and hydrangea – even ornamental cabbage! Greenery itself comes in many shades of green from the softest sage to bright chartreuse or lime and cedar and other evergreens, as well as leaf-y greens. Eucalyptus, magnolia, lemon leaf, smilax and more. The options are nearly endless. Here are some of our favorite places to incorporate green in a wedding.

Scenes from holiday pasts and present. While December tends to be a low volume time for weddings, we love the range of things we have gotten to do, from inviting the community into our studio for wreath workshops to helping businesses and hotels decorate with garland, trees and more for the holidays. Do you have a favorite way to decorate?

We will be closing soon for a much needed holiday break. See you in the new year!

MOODY ROMANCE ✨ Daryn & Kelsey’s wedding last weekend was the definition of moody romance. A room glowing in candlelight, black linens setting the stage for elevated greenery hedges kissed 💋 with baby’s breath and dreamy hanging glass globes cradling flickering votives. Black and deep plum tapers paired with glass chimneys added a touch of drama, while the sweetheart table gave our couple the place of honor, accented with lush greenery and flowers in soft mauve and blush.

Every detail felt like it was straight out of a modern fairytale. 🖤 🤍 ✨ What’s your favorite part of this stunning set up?

Because the team makes the dream:
