The greenery wedding color scheme has been taking the art community by storm for the last few years. It can be done in a few different ways, but one of the easiest is to go with a dark navy and green combo.
Dusty Blue + Green
The blue and green pairing is a common one for beach weddings and many other types of weddings that include a garden or the outdoors. It is a restful and chic wedding spectrum that makes any type of color pallette feel reminiscent of springtime.
Burgundy + Green
Burgundy and green are complementary colors that can be worn separately or together to create the perfect wedding scheme. They create a lush, earthy, yet sophisticated look that is not too bold or over the top. Look below at some ideas to help you find the perfect color scheme!
Olive Green
Soft, earthy tones are a given for green weddings. If you want to try something new and fresh, an olive green wedding will provide an all-new take on the traditional hue. The color is more complex and earth-tone-esque than the standard green, and this gives it a higher level of sophistication and appeal. Guests will love the earth-inspired accents in all the designs, so consider mixing and matching with a neutral base like a cream or pale yellow dress.
Peach + Green
A modern take on a classic combination, this color scheme sets off a joyful feel. For an elegant and classic combination that speaks elegance and warmth, choose shades of peach for your flowers and green for your rustic catering table, ink blue, and Burgundy for your flower bouquet and decorations, respectively. Mint and lavender colors are also elegant and calming.
Champagne + Green
Green and champagne are a match made in the heavens. Take your wedding in this direction with an all-green color scheme and enjoy an understated and elegant vibe for your big day.
Mauve + Greenery
Mauve is a perfect contrasting color that can bring a softer and comfortable feeling. Even though there is a difference in color between the two tones, you can visually mix the two colors together in a variety of ways. Use some greenery to enhance the mood of the couple’s intimate getaway, and even the flowers shown on your tables can tie in more greenery!
Dusty Rose + Green
This green wedding color scheme is the perfect choice for couples who like a natural look with a touch of nuance. The dusty rose and sage green color is inviting and mellow enough to be both contemporary and timeless, making it a perfect color scheme for ceremony and reception decor.
