How to Have the Perfect Green and White Wedding
Have a Color Themed Wedding
This article will cover how any couple can have a fantastic green and white wedding.
Wedding Stationery
Use a vibrant green colored background with white lettering and horizontal stripes at the top and bottom of the invitations. For the envelopes, use white envelopes that are lined on the inside with vertical green stripes of different sizes. These invitations will have a preppy, summer feel to them. The guests will know that they are in for a treat on the wedding day when they get their invitations in the mail.
Attire and Ceremony
The bride could wear a summery wedding dress with a green sash tied around her waist to accentuate her figure. The bridesmaids could wear sage green dresses with white sashes and the groomsmen could wear matching sage green ties. The groom and groomsmen should wear green and white cuff links.
Have the ring bearer also wear a sage green tie and send him down the aisle with a matching ring pillow. A white linen ring pillow with sage green accents would be the perfect accessory for the ring bearer.
Décor and Table Settings
The bride’s bouquet is one of the important features that most wedding guests notice. Make sure that it fits with the theme. Carry a bouquet of green and white flowers tied with a green and white striped, thick ribbon.
Think about using bright white table cloths on each table. To make a table runner simply use different colors of green ribbon. Put a few ribbons running one way and then weave ribbons going the other way. Use long, rectangular white vases for the centerpieces and fill them with hydrangeas and viburnums.
Food and Favors
Start with a lively cocktail hour where guests are served two specialty drinks, mint juleps and green apple martinis. Have each drink served with green and white napkins. Also, during the cocktail hour the couple could serve appetizers. The perfect appetizer for this theme is mini cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches. While the couple is off taking pictures together, the guests will be refreshed and entertained.
Favors are one of the last impressions that the couple can make on their guests, so make sure they fit in with the green and white theme. Get small, green boxes, white ribbon, a few sheets of white cardstock, and a horseshoe stamp at the local craft store. Buy a bulk container of white and green Jordan almonds or M&Ms to place in the green boxes. Then tie them up with the white ribbon and add a tag made from the white cardstock that has a green horseshoe stamp on it.
Guests will not forget such a memorable green and white themed wedding. When a couple chooses to revolve their wedding around a color palette, they should consider stationery, attire, table settings, food, and the favors.
