As far as the actual colors are concerned there are many different shades of green which actually provides the backbone for many different themes and seasons if you can be creative enough and pull it off.  For a summer wedding of any theme a lime green can be easily incorporated for an elegant and fun splash of color.  This can be accented throughout your affair within centerpieces, favors, tableware, floral arrangements, and just about anything else you can think of.  During warmer months of the year this bright and vivid color an be complimented by just about any other for a rich touch of uniqueness to your special wedding day.  We also recommend mixing very earthy accents in along with this.  For example, if you are planning out a garden wedding, then some elegant topiary place card holders would be a wonderful touch to your tabletops and add a splash of green all around as well as a very wholesome and earthy feel.  Maybe for a beach wedding you can have beautifully designed wicker baskets set out filled with colorful green flip flops for your guests to have. Being that the color green can be an over stimulating color, having this balance of more toned down earthy colors and touches to go along with it will make everything flow very nicely.  Your guests will also be very impressed and surprised at how much detail has gone into this colorful affair!Topiary Place Card Holders

For an eco wedding we strongly believe that the color green ironically goes easily hand in hand although this does not always have to be the case.  As previously mentioned, many earthy and warm accents can be added to the color green, so this is very well a good way to look at planning an eco wedding as well.  For n authentic eco wedding you will want to add as many natural touches as possible.  These types of weddings tend to lack the crystal centerpieces and instead opt for more creative natural ones.  A great example of this is using finding many different shapes and sizes of candles that accent your theme and combining them along with flowers or any type of foliage to create your own beautiful one of a kind centerpiece.  This does not have to be something that you would buy from a florist.  This can be anything found in nature that is beautiful and goes along well with your wedding theme.  We have seen some very magnificent centerpieces done this way and can tell you that sometimes nature makes things that can be more beautiful and unique than what you can buy at a store.  We might also like to add in that many couples are opting for this type of option, not only because they appreciate natural beauty and all it symbolizes on their special day, but because it also helps to keep costs down without sacrificing quality.
