Green Wedding Inspiration

Green ... a fresh and very popular colour for summer.

Below clockwise: (1) There are no rules when it comes to the colour of the bridesmaids bouquets, even if their dresses are green (2) Some green shoes ... great prop for some funky photos (3) Who said you don't get flowers for that green bouquet?! (4) The same apply for this handbag as for the shoes ... just gorgeous!

Below clockwise: (1) Something different for the groom than that same old rose idea (2) Some decoration for the ceremony chairs (3) For those brides who wants to go big on their flowers (4) An almost non-floral centrepiece if you are not to keen on to many flowers for you wedding.

Below left: That green cocktail for the thirsty guests after the ceremony. Below right: A great idea doing the rounds when the reception is held on a not-so-smooth-surface ie. grass. It also serves as gifts for your guests.

Below left: The more modern turn on a wedding cake. Below right: Also a great trend if you have some money extra in your budget to spend ... create a lounge at the bar area where your guests can have a chat and relax.

Below left: Gift idea for your guests ... A fan for those hot South African summers, also serving as the order of service, boxed and ribboned. Below right: Another great gift idea is a goodie box ... you can stock it with whatever you have in mind to treat your guests with. Think out of the box! 8)

Colour Palette - Aqua Inspiration

One usually are a bit sceptic when it comes to this bright aqua colour scheme for a wedding. Although it works best for a beach wedding, there is really no rule stating that it can't be used for a summer garden wedding, or whatever type of wedding you have in mind.

Coloured wedding shoes are really nothing new. They make memorable shoe shots! (I am addicted to great shoe shots ...) Personalized items like a fan for those hot garden ceremonies, the church program with a hint of colour and bottled lemonade (or whatever you guests would like) as table placements, make great wedding favours. A cocktail to get the party started ... need I say more?! Out with the plain white marzipan covered wedding cakes and in with something colourful. And do serve your wedding cake as dessert to your guests. It can't be stored forever. Blue hydrangea ball bouquets for the bridesmaids, or if you prefer, for yourself.
