How green does your wedding grow? Lush foliage is a hot wedding look these days, for many great reasons. Not only is it fresh and natural, it can be budget-friendly. It also helps meld indoor and outdoor venues, seamlessly creating gorgeous hybrid wedding settings.
Look to plants such as ferns, palms, succulents and even fragrant herbs to fill in the foliage. Topiaries, living walls, terrariums, hanging elements and centerpieces are perfect places for vibrant greenery to step in as your wedding decor. We suspect this post will have you green with envy.
