Green Weddings – Not just for the Eco-Friendly, but for those who Love Green too!
Recently I came across some beautiful pictures of bridesmaid’s dresses in my favorite color…GREEN! The photos were gorgeous and it made me think how few people utilize green (other than for stems and leaves in the floral arrangements…) in their wedding. Yes, the light sea foam green is seen occasionally, but I mean a bright vibrant emerald green.
Not only that, but “green” is in right now. So I was thinking, why not really go full blown green for your wedding? Nowadays it’s so much more than just a color. It’s a lifestyle too. And ladies, everyone looks good in green. Blondes, brunettes, redheads… It compliments every skin tone from alabaster to dark mocha. But don’t stop there, really go green with your wedding. Why not go with environmentally friendly favors? You can give your guests plantable favors.
Rather than a plain old placecard holder, why not give them one of the “Please be Seeded” placecard holders? They come in a variety of different themes: butterfly, cherry blossom, heart, leaf and starfish. And they’re made from recycled paper. A lot more exciting then just your plain old placecard holder. These actually have a purpose.
Don’t forget to give each table at least 1 camera so everyone can capture pictures for you. Sure the photographer is great, but some of the best pictures are the candid ones. Looking for something to match your “green theme?” How about the Pastel Celadon Green Wedding Camera?
And of course we all know it is NOT cool to be throwing rice anymore! Not only that, but who wants rice to be thrown at them?? Rose petals are so much more elegant. We offer a variety of petal toss cones in green and other complimentary colors. We also have the rose petals to fill them with.
So if you’re just starting to think of colors for your wedding, why not consider green? It will make your wedding unique, your guests will appreciate your thoughtfulness when it comes to “going green,” and your bridesmaids will thank you for selecting a color that looks enchanting on all of them!
