Green is a beautiful color, and although it may not be a traditional wedding color, it can easily be added to your wedding palette. There are several options for making your colors flow. You may want to add small subtle touches, or go big and bold.

Your wedding invitation is the first look into your magical day that your guests will receive. If you would like to give them a glimpse of your colors, a white invitation with an elegant green trim is a wonderful option. If you are looking for something a little more daring, you can choose to have a green and white design added to your invitations.

One of the most noticeable ways to incorporate green into your wedding is to make it the color of your bridesmaid’s dresses. You could also add an elegant green sash to a white wedding dress. If you do not want to go with something that drastic, you have the option of incorporating the color into your jewelry. The Groom and groomsmen have the option of wearing white vests with a green tie.

Flowers are another great way to incorporate green and white into your wedding. Green is such a natural color, and flowers are one of the easiest places to add it. A bridal bouquet of white roses with green berries and foliage added throughout with the green stems exposed is a beautiful and elegant look. Boutonnieres can also be made from a white flower with green accents. If you are planning to decorate your venue with flowers, there are several ways to incorporate the green and white theme there as well.

The reception area is one of the easiest places to add your colors, simply because it is usually larger. A great way to add the green and white theme to your tables is to have white chair covers with green tie backs on them. You can also go with green place cards on top of a beautiful white table top. The floral centerpieces at your reception are yet another way to elegantly incorporate green and white. A series of simple green vases filled with white flowers is an enchanting vision. If you would like a center piece that is a little more involved you could go with a beautiful white table setting with a large arrangement of green flowers.

In the process of planning do not forget about your wedding favors. This is also a wonderful way to add your colors. With so many different options to choose from, it would be impossible to list them all here, but as an example you could have your favors placed in a small white box with a green satin ribbon wrapped around it.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to incorporating colors into your wedding, and you are only limited by your imagination. Your wedding can be both elegant and unique, so do not be afraid to think “outside of the box” as you are planning one of the most magical days of your life.
