When it comes to wedding table decorations, we’re rather fond of going green. With so many shades to choose from, it’s remarkably versatile!
You’ll be spoilt for choice if you’re planning on using green table decorations on your big day! You might, for example, bring the outside in with fresh, natural or sage greens. Alternatively, be bold with vibrant lime, or autumnal with bottle green. Let’s take a look at some inspirational green wedding ideas, from elegant table linen to fabulous favours.
Flowers & Foliage
Nature lends a helpful hand when it comes to green table decorations, offering beautiful foliage in abundance.
Candles adorned with greenery are simple to create and suit a rustic or contemporary theme.

For boho style, a Lyle’s Golden Syrup tin filled with ‘just picked’ blooms is a quirky, inexpensive vase. Just think of all those syrup filled pancakes you’ll just have to enjoy before the wedding!

Linen & Glassware
From colourful linen to vibrant green glassware, or even a hint of pastel on a napkin, linen and glassware make the basis of your wedding tables.
Simple but effective, green wine bottles make excellent ‘candlesticks’ for a more rustic wedding.

If you’d prefer to stick to white linen, add a hint of green in the form of ribbon. These napkin ties are easy to create and oh-so-elegant.

Sage is a lovely hue of green for a country wedding, bringing the outside in. If you’re choosing a coloured base linen, opt for white napkins and candles.

Glassware is a great way to introduce green to your tables. Choose perhaps just one glass in green with the others more plain in style.

Favours & Stationery
If your table design is relatively simple, you can always add colour in the detail. Pretty favours and beautiful stationery offer the finishing touches to your table.
Nature gives you free place cards in the form of leaves! Allocate some of your budget to calligraphy which transforms these leaves in to a stylish table accessory.

Don’t forget to co-ordinate your stationery, carrying the green theme through from the invitation to menus sitting on your tables.
