One of the hottest wedding trends over the last several years is the increased use of greenery as decor – not only as filler for your bouquets and centerpieces, but as a focal point of the ambiance. Greens bring a peaceful aura to any space, evoking a feeling of natural beauty, and can be incorporated into your wedding in a myriad of ways.

Ivy in particular makes a meaningful addition to your floral choices. As an evergreen plant, ivy symbolizes eternity, faithfulness and strong love and friendship. Because of this association, ivy is a beautiful and thoughtful embellishment for your church or outdoor ceremony.

Also hot for this season are unique bouquets that defy tradition – green bouquets look natural and organic against a white or ivory dress, with a few vibrant blooms providing a burst of color. If you are looking for a truly special floral bouquet, this striking combination of succulents and ferns is sure to make an impressive memory; it also looks gorgeous in photos.

How else can greenery be utilized in your wedding? Every place you might traditionally place flowers, greens can be a striking replacement. Create beautiful centerpieces that can be brought home for lasting reminder of the day; or a long runner of greenery with wildflowers interspersed throughout the display. Lanterns or hanging bulbs create interest in any space, and are especially rustic with draped vines and greenery creating ambiance. Here’s a tip – venues decorated in lush greenery look especially romantic by candlelight.
