Going Green: Greenery Inspiration for Your Big Day

We love when brides incorporate greenery into their wedding decor. Not only is green tasteful and classic, but it also makes a huge statement! It’s so nice to bring the outdoors inside. Take a look at some of our favorite ideas that might provide a little inspiration for our future brides! 😉

The Gown

Who says brides have to wear a plain white dress? Break the rules with a garden-like gown. A beautiful patterned dress will have all of your guests green with envy!

Line Your Aisle

Adding greenery to the ends of your rows is always a beautiful touch! Or, add greenery and a sign to the backs of chairs for your reserved seats. Perfect for the mother and father of the bride and groom.

TableTop Decor

There are so many ways to dress up the reception tables. A table runner is simply stunning on long tables for guests to take a break from the dance floor. For a seated dinner there’s always the option to add a pop of green to the place setting. If you really want to make a statement go for a lemon tree in the middle of your reception table. It looks pretty and smells wonderful!
