Going Green

Merry Monday Modern Wedding Brides -  I hope you're all feeling fresh, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! The team at Modern Wedding are currently working on putting together our annual Luxury Weddings magazine and one of my favourite things is seeing all the beautiful images from real weddings that are submitted to us. I'm a bit of a fashionista and I love seeing what these creative couples come up with.

One of the big trends we're seeing at the moment is gorgeous green! From flowers to table decorations, jewellery and fashion, it seems that fresh, funky and fun is the direction and green is the mode. Symbolic of nature, harmony and new beginnings - really it's no wonder it's becoming a popular colour choice for weddings.

Maybe it's a little of the eco-aesthetic, perhaps it's a return to nature, whatever the reason I am loving that modern couples are going green. Think lashings of unique foliage, soft white or ivory blooms, fruit and vegetable table decorations and eco-inspired stationery. Delicious! Green goes best as either a strong feature colour against a soft white or monochrome background palette or as a beautiful background colour behind featured pastels or brights. Novel and versatile? *swoon*

  2. I decided on green for my theme because two of my bridesmaids are redheads and it really suits them. I didn't realise it was fashionable, although I like that I seem to be ahead of the curve! ;)

  3. Love Eco Folding Natural Cotton Tote & Topiary Photo/Place Card Holder! I've always always always loved green, but was thinking of steering clear of it cause it doesn't seem to 'weddingy' - but now you've changed my mind! I think a fresh apple green would be beautiful and I'M GOING TO DO IT :)
