Wedding in emerald color: combinations of shades
To create a truly bright holiday, you need to take into account the combination of all colors.
Don’t get carried away and use 5-6 different tones in your design at once, this will create a color overload. You also need to make sure that the shade diluting the emerald color scheme does not take over all the attention. Emerald goes well with azure, ocher, milky, silver, mint, lemon and orange. Do not forget about the time of year in which the celebration will take place. For example, if an emerald wedding is planned for the winter, then give preference to silver and menthol shades. And if you are getting married in the summer, then emerald will be perfectly combined with orange and lemon flowers.

The bride's bouquet
YesYes recommends:
- An elegant bouquet of yellow-green craspedia or just craspedia, framed with succulent branches
- A sophisticated bouquet of lilies of the valley or snow-white freesia
- A majestic bouquet of spray roses in light and delicate shades
A wedding bouquet can be decorated with stones - emeralds, of course, artificial ones!
- Lush, airy bouquet of hydrangea or eustoma
- A proud bouquet of orchids or roses in rich colors
- A cheerful bouquet of snow-white anemones or peonies and dahlias
- A bright bouquet of alstroemeria branches.
To decorate the bouquet, use satin ribbons or emerald velvet (to wrap the bouquet stem).
Banqueting hall
The color of Emerald is the color of nature, so the main element of the decor will, of course, be decorative greenery (ruscus, moss, fern) and all kinds of flowers.
A fashionable trend is laser illumination with emerald light of the dance floor, the floor of the banquet hall, the newlyweds’ table, and the photo zone.
The use of a large number of semi-precious and artificial stones, mirror surfaces and crystal will highlight the wedding theme very stylishly.
Stylists and decorators suggest using runners (these are tablecloths - narrow strips of fabric, up to 50 cm), which can be laid out on tables in different ways. A tablecloth runner (as they are also called) is a very successful decorative element; it is made of velvet or velor in emerald green velvet or velor. Runners can be used on their own, without tablecloths, then the dishes should be white to create the necessary contrast.
The appearance of the newlyweds for a wedding in emerald colors
A wedding banquet in emerald shades implies the presence of appropriate images for lovers. If you don’t like bright outfits, you may prefer a classic style, but you should complement it with accessories made in the main colors of the festival. And if you prefer to experiment and are bold, then choose an emerald shade for clothes.
Brides who are not ready to wear an outfit of this color are advised to choose bright accessories. For example, a white dress can be decorated with a skirt made in emerald tone. Choose a colored belt, decorate the outfit with embroidery, choose shoes, stockings and other details. All this will only decorate and complement your image.
The groom is recommended to wear a tie, bow tie or shirt in emerald color. If your beloved is brave, then let him wear a wedding suit in the holiday palette. This will be a great choice and will definitely go great with your decor and theme.
Combinations of emerald with other colors
When planning the color scheme, remember the compatibility of shades. Mix several shades to make it as natural and cozy as possible. Don’t let any one additional tone draw attention; the emerald should always remain in the center. Noble emerald looks good with the following tones:
- blue,
- golden,
- white,
- silver,
- orange,
- pink,
- mint,
- chocolate,
- yellow.
Wedding in emerald color: appearance of guests
The idea of dressing your guests in green is quite a wonderful solution, but unfortunately, it is quite difficult to implement it. After all, to realize such a desire, it will be necessary for all those invited to be inspired by the style of the wedding and, despite their preferences, go to meet the lovers. If the participants in the celebration have abandoned such an idea, then you can focus on the witnesses, who, like the newlyweds, are obliged to fully comply with all the formalities of the celebration.
Outside of Russia, there has long been a rule that implies the same style of clothing for all bridesmaids and groomsmen. It looks impressive and great.
If you have sufficient funds, you can purchase clothes for witnesses yourself. For a more modest budget, simply buy accessories in the main shade of the celebration.
Groom image
The outfit for the groom is thought out after the image of the bride is approved. If she wears white, then wear a classic suit and complement it with an emerald shirt, tie and cufflinks with stones. Color accents will transform the outfit and make it less conservative.
For a themed celebration, the image of the groom is determined by the chosen scenario. This could be a stylized Goodwin or Irish newlywed costume.
Idea! For an Irish wedding, the groom does not have to wear a kilt. All you need to do is choose a sports suit and add a cap and trousers with suspenders.
Brave men who are not afraid to be the center of attention can wear a suit in the main shade of the celebration. A white shirt is added to it, as well as a neckerchief, bow tie or vest. The boutonniere should match the bride's bouquet and consist of the same flowers.
Wedding in emerald colors: decoration
In order to organize a wedding celebration in emerald colors, you need to carefully approach all the details of the celebration, because as a result, everything should look like one. Start with invitation cards, place cards and other small items. Once you have roughly decided on the design, you can move on to other aspects: table setting and decoration, decorative components and the general interior of the room.
Emerald wedding: invitations
When creating invitations, many designers recommend giving preference to the style of Bazhov’s fairy tale “The Malachite Box”. You can also choose another theme, for example, Volkov’s work, which tells about the emerald city.
Use scrapbooking elements to decorate your invitations. At the same time, it is not entirely necessary to create them yourself; you can place an order from a handmade specialist.
Decoration of the banquet hall for an emerald wedding
A wedding in emerald colors implies special rules for interior decoration. That is, the decoration of the room should include mainly green color. Brown, yellow and milky shades go well with the presented tone. You should not decorate the walls with an emerald tone, this will cause an overload of colors. It is enough that you take care of the design of the main elements.
The dance floor, area for video filming, tables for desserts and other similar areas can be decorated with LED strips in emerald colors. A great idea for decoration is peacock feathers, which will perfectly highlight the wedding theme.
Shade combinations
To avoid color overload, you need to settle on a palette of two or three shades. The main color is emerald. The rest only complement and shade it. An unsuccessful combination will ruin the design, so you need to carefully consider the possible options.
A wedding in emerald decoration looks harmonious at any time of the year if you choose the right palette:
- The combination of silver or white with emerald is advantageous for a winter wedding. You can also use shades of ivory, champagne, ivory and cream;
- Green with bright yellow and orange is appropriate in the spring and summer. You can also try combinations with plum, mint, azure;
- Warm ocher combined with emerald is suitable for an autumn wedding. Combinations with pink, brick, gold or chocolate would be appropriate here.
As the main one, you can use various shades of emerald : dark green, malachite, deep pistachio, jade.
Wedding in emerald color: festive table decoration
Ask your chef to decorate your dishes with emerald hues. With a wide range of products to choose from, you can create truly stunning designs. For this you will need pesto sauce and grape salads.
Don't forget about table setting. For example, tablecloths can be white, and napkins and dishes can be green. At the same time, even small treats can serve as excellent decorations. Ideal living decorating elements would be grapes, kiwi, apples, limes and flowers.

Is it possible to get married in a green wedding dress?
Why not? Neither Russian legislation nor church canons regulate the color of the bride’s wedding dress; for the church it is only important that the fabric of the dress is not transparent, and that the style leaves the girl’s shoulders, elbows and legs covered. The desire to be original and unique on this happy day allows the bride to choose the color of the dress that she desires and which makes her the most charming in the eyes of her future husband.
Often, even without being superstitious, girls getting married pay attention to folk signs and symbols: in Russia, green has always been considered a symbol of young spring , nature reborn after hibernation, lightness and confidence in oneself and in the future.
It is believed that a green wedding dress is a symbol of a harmonious and joyful family life.
This color is chosen for their wedding attire by purposeful individuals with a strong will and incredible intelligence. These are proud and persistent (but not stubborn) women, as they say, “with character”, striving for inner harmony and peace, responsible to others. The man he loves will carry such a lady in his arms, endlessly love and respect her.
Often green wedding dresses are chosen by women who are getting married not for the first time. In addition, in the future the green dress can be used as a spectacular evening outfit .
