Layered shades of green for weddings in 2023/24
Throughout the last couple of years we’ve seen sage green take centre stage with many couples choosing to incorporate this neutral colour into their wedding day and styling. As we move into 2023 it’s all about the layering with complimenting shades of green working together to add depth.
When simply working with layered shades of green, this monochromatic design delivers high impact elegance and drama. We’ll see rich shades of forest green, jewel tones of emerald green and the understated but not to be underestimated, shades of olive green, making an incredible entrance into the wedding world alongside sage green! So which one will you pick?
Reasons to go green! – Benefits to choosing a green colour palette for your wedding day
-
- It doesn’t matter whether you’re planning a Mediterranean summer wedding or a cosy, atmospheric winter wedding – Shades of green work for every season of the year.
-
- This neutral colour palette sits effortlessly alongside the interior decor of the vast majority of venues.
-
- If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, enhance your setting with shades of green that offset against the natural backdrop of your ceremony or reception. With many couples choosing to host a marquee or tipi wedding, layered shades of green are the perfect combination.
-
- Do you love the foliage trend? Using a green colour palette could capture your heart as it allows you to bring in mixed varieties of foliage into your styling adding texture as well as a really organic feel. Bouquets of mixed foliage are continuing to be a popular choice and with each bouquet design taking on its own unique shape, there’s a distinct authentic look to this style that we love!
-
- Green can be teamed with a large range of other colours depending on the look you’re wanting to achieve. First, decide on whether green will be your base colour or accent colour and work from there. For example, we’re seeing earthy tones come to the forefront of styling in 2023 closely linked with the trend for pampas grass, bunny tails and wheatsheaves. In this stunning design, our talented Newcastle stylist, Jemma used water hyacinth placemats, sage green napkins and neutral-toned wedding stationery to lift the darker shades of green and elevate the look to the next level! – The textured foliage runner consisting of mixed eucalyptus and ruscus defines the centre of the table whilst the place settings provide the ideal contrast.
- Whether your wedding day is set to see a large guest list or you’re looking to achieve a smaller more intimate celebration, this colour palette won’t disappoint! Talk to your Ambience stylist about areas and features within your venue that would benefit from extra details and pops of green.
