With the arrival of the new year, and therefore on the eve of the new wedding season, we could not help but wonder to what color the recently fashionable rose quartz and serenity lost the palm?
Photo: Wedding assistant Nevesta.info Let’s not languish for long and say right away that according to the Pantone Color Institute, the main color of the coming year has become a shade of fresh greenery - greenery.
Location
Greenery is translated from English as “fresh greens”. Where is it most? Of course, in nature, so a country estate, a blooming garden or a park with beautiful trees will be ideal locations for a greenery wedding.
But it is better to refuse to organize a celebration in the forest. This is quite difficult to do, plus many local residents may show increased interest in you and your guests, which can spoil the impression.
If the wedding is planned in winter, then you can find a place where there is an indoor flowering greenhouse or simply pay special attention to the design of the banquet hall to create the complete impression that you are in nature.
A little about green
The word greenery is translated as “fresh greens”. Someone had an image of crispy lettuce washed under running water. Someone feels the soft spring grass under their feet. Any image that is born with greenery breathes life. As the representatives of the Color Institute themselves stated, the main color of the year, Pantone, symbolizes new beginnings in life and the unity of man with nature. This does not mean that you need to move to the countryside to be in trend. It’s much easier to add a natural touch to our daily lives: clothes, makeup, accessories. What can we say about weddings? The freshness of green, illuminated by the sun, is ideal for a wedding ceremony. See for yourself: a new family, new plans, blossoming love and fertility. Let's take green as a basis and start creating.

Wedding decor
A Greenery wedding has many possibilities in terms of decor. The main decoration should be various green plants. Decorate the ceiling and columns (if any) with different branches. Don't forget the tables. Small pots of flowers on the tables or sprigs of fern placed neatly under each dish make dramatic focal points.
Please note that your wedding is in green, which means you can safely use it. You can decorate with ribbons, chair covers, tablecloths, dishes, candles and other attributes in this shade.
Another beautiful element of wedding decor in Greenery color can be a wooden arch, entwined with ivy or vines - an ideal place for saying vows and taking photos. A living tree can be an interesting and unusual alternative to an arch. How do you like a wedding ceremony under a willow or a large spreading oak tree, decorated with ribbons fluttering in the wind? True unity with nature.
Everything has become around
The world is going crazy for “green”: a healthy lifestyle, living plants as the main decor, natural products, escaping from cities to nature, a healthy attitude towards oneself. It’s not for nothing that the Pantone Institute named one of the shades of green the color of 2021.
Have you noticed how at the end of April the trees are covered with a cloud of greenish-yellow fluff that lasts for literally several days. The first foliage is always not pure green, but slightly lime green. Pantone Institute specialists noticed this complex shade, named it Greenery and declared it the main color of 2021. Pantone has consolidated the general global trend with the help of the language of color: “green” i.e. a healthy, natural lifestyle is moving from the periphery to the cities. Now this is part of a fashion trend, but if you remove vanity and the marketing that follows it, a person’s normal need for everything real will be revealed - products, things, emotions, connections. The city, as an artificial environment hostile to us, needs a share of natural, green vitamin Greenery.
Fresh, youthful and energetic lime green will be everywhere in the coming year - in clothing showrooms, in wallpaper and fabric patterns, in accessories, in eyeshadow and eyeliner collections. Remember the same boom that the dramatic shade of Marsala caused in the fashion industry a couple of years ago? In comparison, Greenery is more democratic and youthful. In nature, it is replaced by bright green, which thickens over time and becomes an almost emerald, mature color. But the designers suggest forgetting about age for now and introducing dynamic Greenery into the interior.
If it’s difficult to decide on a total look – for example, green walls – take an example from clothing brands: they have long “admitted” green to accessories and produce bags, glasses and shoes in a lime shade. Translated into interior design language, this means that Greenery can be used in doses in detail. Order a new green cover for the sofa, change the pillows, wallpaper one of the walls with a green print, or paint a window or closet in a fashionable color.
The versatility of the main color of 2021 is that, on the one hand, it goes well with the entire natural gamut: choose all shades of brown, blue and gray as its companions. On the other hand, it contains a barely perceptible percentage of “electricity”, slightly hinting at neon. This makes it an excellent companion for respectable shades such as Ruby Wine, Treetop or Misted Yellow. Next to the mischievous Greenery, they gain a second youth and sound less dramatic. So, if your home needs a note of freshness, a breath of oxygen, add vibrating green to it.

In a broader sense, Greenery is also about the riot of life around. One of the obvious trends at the latest Maison&Objet exhibition was the “Jungle”: tropical plants with fleshy leaves and huge flowers took root on wallpaper and textiles, floor lamps with feather lampshades reminiscent of flamingos froze by the fireplaces; cockatoos, toucans, peacocks and kiwi birds are the main characters of the patterns; cacti, glossy monstera leaves, open porcelain and wood pomegranates. Take a closer look at this trend, it will last for more than one year.

Greenery color in the image of the bride and groom
The bride does not have to wear a green dress; a traditional white dress will be a suitable option. You can take the image of a forest nymph as a basis. It can be created with a wreath on the head or flowers in the hair, discreet makeup in natural colors and a dress with a simple silhouette made of light fabrics. You can wear sandals or other shoes without heels on your feet. You can use not only green plants in a bouquet, but also combine them with flowers. It is better if the bouquet is of a natural shape.
The groom can choose a suit in natural colors: green, beige, brown, white or gray. You can brighten up the look with a green tie or a mint-colored jacket. For footwear, the groom can also wear sandals or other comfortable shoes. And don’t forget that the groom’s boutonniere should match the bride’s bouquet.
Be in harmony with the world - choose Greenery
The combination of green color in clothes and shoes will complement and characteristically highlight the formed image, ideal for branded clothing. The shade is ideal for clothing used:
- on summer walks;
- in a cheerful company of friends;

- cushion for wedding rings.
Ornament and floral motifs on a white background will be a wonderful decoration for invitations and will immediately inform everyone about the theme of the upcoming event. In the same style, you can make accessories for seating guests: banquet cards, table numbers and seating plan.
You can use small succulent seedlings in pots as bonbonnieres. These plants are distinguished by their longevity and ease of care, so they will delight your guests with their beauty for a very long time and remind you of the wedding.
A cushion for wedding rings can be made in the shape of a bird's nest, from inflorescences or moss, which can be used to fill a wooden box.
Wedding cake and treats
A greenery wedding cake can be made either green or white, decorated with green plants (live or edible). Don’t forget to organize a fashionable candy bar at your wedding with various treats: cupcakes, macarons, cake pops, etc. These treats can be made using green icing and cream to complement your wedding color palette.
Suitable stylistics
Greenery color fits perfectly into the following wedding themes:
- Eco style. Wooden furniture, decorations made from natural materials, fresh flowers in abundance - all this goes perfectly with fresh herbs and pays tribute to nature.
-
- Rustic. Greenery color will organically fit into a cozy and homely wedding in a rustic style and will be a wonderful addition to natural scenery, against which you will get stunning photographs.
