Going green: The perfect summer wedding shade
Besides being popular with brides wanting a more sustainable wedding, green has become a fashionable colour too.
Olive shades in particular were big on the spring/summer catwalks this year with designers such as Victoria Beckham and Alberta Ferretti using the shade to create elegant and directional looks.
At first glance, you may not think that green is a versatile shade, but it goes well with lots of other colours – from neutrals to blush pink, burgundy and gold. It also injects a touch of freshness to wedding décor, thanks to associations with the great outdoors.
If you’re after a green big day, here are some ideas to get you started…
