A fresh and zesty yellow-green shade, often seen in foliage, that evokes the first days of Spring when nature's greens burst forth and revive.</p><p>The perfect colour for a Summer wedding? In an interview with the New York Times, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute Leatrice Eiseman said&nbsp; the choice for colour of the year was made in response to a "stressful and tense world" and after all no-one wants stress and tension at their wedding ♥</p><p><br></p><p><img style="width: 50%; float: right;" src="https://silkflowersdecoflora.co.uk/image/catalog/Blogs/wedding-invitation-with-pressed-leaf.jpg">Set the theme from the start by including pressed or <a href="https://silkflowersdecoflora.co.uk/artificial-leaves-and-foliage">artificial leaves</a> with your wedding invitations. <br></p><p>Use floral adhesive to attach leaves of your choice that reflect your wedding theme. Leaves can look particularly eyecatching set on neutral craft cards with a modern style hand calligraphy. Consider adding hessian, jute or lace and tie off with simple string.</p><p><br></p><p>Save the date, order of service, place cards and menus can all be co-ordinated with matching or co-ordinating <b>greenery</b> to give a fresh, country feel to the proceedings and give your guests a hint of things to come.</p><p><br></p><p>A novel idea for an alternative to placecards is to write the guests' names in white or metallic marker pen on an individual leaf and place it on the table, plate or napkin OR why not add a sprig of foliage to the napkin to enhance the place setting.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://silkflowersdecoflora.co.uk/image/catalog/Blogs/pastel-green-wedding-dress.jpg" style="font-size: 12px; width: 50%; float: left; margin-right: 20px;"></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>The most important decision, of course, the dress!&nbsp;Pastel green wedding gowns are simply enchanting -<br></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; romantic, elegant and ever-so-slighty bohemian a pale green<span style="font-size: 12px;"> wedding dress will be sure to set you apart from</span></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; others and will allow you to 'play' with all the other accessories<span style="font-size: 12px;"> to embody the feel of Greenery.</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you don't fancy green for yourself why not choose pretty</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; dresses in mix and match shades of green for your bridesmaids</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for some really striking photos?</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ....... and don't forget the men!
