Green Wedding Flowers

Looking to add a fresh flavor to your wedding flowers? Try combining shades of blue and green blossoms. While not the easiest colors to find in fresh flowers, there are some lovely options for blossoms in these cool colors, and in combination the results will be nothing short of fabulous.
Without a doubt, the number one favorite blue wedding flower is the blue hydrangea. Full, vibrant, and classic, there is nothing more lovely for a summertime affair. A simple but gorgeous design for a bridal bouquet is to pair several stems of blue and several stems of green hydrangeas. Trim the stems, wrap with floral tape, and cover with a luxe wide white satin ribbon for a diy bridal bouquet that is elegant yet easy. For more texture, use smaller and larger varieties of the hydrangeas.
The same blue and green hydrangeas which make a lovely and simple bouquet can be made more formal with the addition of white roses. They look ever so pretty for bouquets, and also make marvelous centerpieces. Set a very full arrangement of hydrangeas and roses atop a footed urn shape vase for a breathtaking centerpiece. If you want to play up the femininity of the arrangement, set it on a tablecloth with a soft blue and green floral pattern in watercolor shades. The same colors will be beautiful throughout the wedding, such as in the bridesmaid dresses and jewelry, the stationery, and even the wedding cake.
