When it comes to wedding trends, sticking to the color of the year is a fail-safe technique in styling. Pantone describes this year’s color as “nature’s neutral”.
Although this basic greenery shade lies somewhere between green and yellow, wedding stylists have taken greenery across the massive green spectrum. Greenery draws attention effortlessly because it is Mother Nature’s essential.
With leaves as its main material, greenery can be infused in almost any aspect of a wedding, and because it is abundant and accessible, this wedding trend is friendly to the pockets.
Take a look at how greenery dominated this year and the past years’ wedding scene.
Wedding Bouquet

Maximize your wedding bouquet’s potential by framing a few big blooms with lots of deep-hued leaves. Instead of a cascading bouquet that's dominated by flowers, use leaves instead. It’s more cost-effective that way.

Speaking of cost-effective, do not underestimate the humble fern. Bunch them together and you have a simple wedding bouquet that’s not lacking in elegance. Make it the perfect unexpected twist to the bridal ensemble.

Just because you choose greenery as your focal color doesn’t mean you should nix the deep hues altogether. The versatile green complements almost any other color of Mother Nature. This rich-colored bunch of flowers and berries benefit from the neutralizing leaves around it. It almost looks like they were plucked out shortly before the wedding.
Wedding Head Pieces

If you want to get on board the flower crown craze but have a few hesitations, the greenery crown is a good compromise. The single white flower doesn’t overpower the bride’s face because the greenery provides the balance.

Succulents and berries on the flower girls’ heads? Why not? This luscious crown is definitely a standout. Don’t forget to trim the poking ends before you put the crowns on delicate heads.

It doesn’t have to be a flower crown. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t have to be with flowers at all.
This all-green headpiece is for brides who shy away from flamboyance but want a little something extra for the big day.

As you can see above, green and glass go well together. Make a leaf garland, put it on the center of a long table, light up some candles, and put them in glass containers. How difficult can that be? Elegant isn’t always expensive.

Count on green to blend in even in a contemporary industrial setting. Copper, floral, and green harmonize unexpectedly in this table styling. The single leaf on the plate set doesn’t need company, aside from the standard menu.

This generation’s wedding stylists are adventurous and bold. In table settings, the décor doesn’t just happen on the table. The hanging piece of greens and whites turns the normal long table into a stately wedding presidential table.
Aisle and Ceremony Area

By now, you must have noticed how white and green go well together. The combination is inarguably immaculate and understated. You can be fun without turning comical on the wedding aisle with white balloons supported by leafy garlands around the strings.

The arrangement above evokes a lot of Midsummer Night’s Dream vibes. Twinkling lights interspersed among the leaves bring pure magic to the plain indoor venue.

Sometimes, all you really need is one focal point for the entire venue. The metallic You + Me backdrop framed by willowy greens makes for an unforgettable wedding ceremony. The candlelit aisle and potted plants at the bottom are strong supporting elements in the big picture.
Wedding Cake

Green and white bring the somber gray to life in this 3-tiered cake. This is a suitable cake for couples who want to experiment with greenery but still want to stick to the clean and classic lines.

If the grey and green cake is a classic, this 3-tiered chocolate cake is everything that’s unexpected. The log and moss base and the touches of succulent brings fertile gardens straight to the wedding reception.

Botanical is all the rage right now but that doesn’t mean you can let go of vintage. This wedding cake is simply a work of art. It melds leaves, florals, and vintage touches in one piece. If you can’t decide between two themes, don’t be afraid to integrate greenery with your other theme.
