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.
