The Flower Fields & Wedding Inspiration, Part II: Shades of Green

We will get back to the brilliant blooms and pops of color in the next flower inspiration post. Right now, I am going to stick with the color green. Why? Because I think this is a good opportunity to talk about color scheme. Traditionally, weddings have two main colors in addition to black and white. Notice I said traditionally. I don't believe in doing anything in your wedding just because it is tradition, and I don't believe in doing anything that doesn't ring true to the bride and groom's personalities, interests, and tastes. That being said, don't ever feel that you have to stick to two colors.

Using the whole rainbow as your pallet can be tricky and must be done carefully and tastefully. However, if your tastes are simple you may want to consider using just one color. I love monochromatic weddings. The utilization of varying shades of color can be elegant and unique. Here's a green pallet I created from my pictures of The Flower Fields. Notice how well each shade goes with the other:

Another bonus with monochromatic based color schemes, you don't have to worry about constantly matching a color. The ribbon you want your florist to use doesn't have to perfectly match the swatch from your bridesmaid dresses. You don't have to shell out extra to get the napkins exactly matched to your invitations.
Instead of focusing on more colors, you can think about shapes and textures. Varying these elements can have a huge impact on the appearance of your final product - an absolutely stunning and chic wedding.

Consider using various blooms in your chosen color to create depth and height differences. This will keep the eye entertained, and it's a free consideration in terms of upping your decor.
