When it comes to wedding colour schemes, green is undoubtedly one of our favourites. It gives you the opportunity to bring nature in to your big day, with wonderful flowers and foliage. If you’re looking for green wedding ideas, you’re in the right place.
Ceremony Style
Let’s start at the very beginning and the moment you say ‘I do’. Introduce guests to your sage green wedding theme as soon as they arrive.
An outdoor wedding gives you an instant green ‘carpet’! Complete the look with delicate pew end florals with sage green foliage and ivory blooms.

For a religious ceremony, adorn the aisles with lanterns and an abundance of foliage. This greenery looks lovely against the natural stone and wooden pews of a church.

And the Bride Wore…
Moving on to those all-important outfits! Sage green is a flattering shade so easily worked in to your attire, from bridesmaid dresses to buttonholes.
A lovely choice for bridesmaids, sage green suits most skin tones and looks beautiful at a country wedding.

Venue Décor
When planning your sage green wedding theme, think of ways to bring the outside in. Green wedding ideas are an extension of the great outdoors, decorating your venue with the beautiful, rustic colours of nature.
For a more rustic look, present foliage in simple glass gars and bottles – that ‘just-picked’ look.

Bring sage green through to your stationery, from invitations to menus and place cards. The gold cutlery adds a hint of glamour here.

Of course your wedding cake gives you the opportunity to present your perfect shade and style. This design is a striking example of sage green on white.

Don’t spend money decorating areas that won’t be noticed. On the other hand, do decorate where it will be appreciated. The bar area is a good place to add greenery.

Foliage makes a wonderful table runner. Choose leaves in your perfect shade of sage.

All in the Detail
Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference, from thoughtful favours to intricate décor ideas.
Inexpensive and oh-so-pretty, we rather like these candles adorned with sage leaves.

You might even use potted herbs as your table names.
