One of the best things about green is its versatility. Whether you prefer a rich, dramatic emerald or a soft, ethereal sage, there’s a shade to suit every bride and wedding theme…
Emerald Green – Perfect for a glamorous, evening wedding, emerald exudes sophistication and luxury. Look for dresses with shimmering fabrics or jewel embellishments to elevate this dramatic shade.
Sage Green – For a softer, bohemian vibe, sage green is an excellent choice. It pairs beautifully with earthy tones and romantic floral details for an effortlessly chic look.
Olive or Forest Green – These deep, natural tones are ideal for rustic or outdoor weddings, blending seamlessly with lush greenery and organic decor.

A green wedding dress opens the door to endless styling possibilities too. Metallic accessories, like gold or silver, add a touch of glamour, while pearl accents provide a soft, romantic vibe. You can even lean into the Wicked theme by incorporating dramatic black or sparkly details into your look. For your bouquet, consider flowers in complementary hues like white, cream, or blush, with pops of greenery to tie the look together.
Choosing a green wedding dress is about more than making a statement it’s about celebrating your individuality and embracing a unique style that reflects your personality. These looks are perfect for brides who aren’t afraid to break the mould and bring a little magical glam to their big day. Whether you go for a soft, earthy tone or a bold, jewel-like shade, a green wedding dress is the perfect way to celebrate individuality and make your wedding day truly yours!

Styling a green wedding starts with choosing the right shade and this depends on what ambience or vibe you are wanting. Soft sage is great for a romantic outdoor affair, bold emerald for a glamorous evening event, or rich forest green for a rustic vibe, the shade you select sets the tone for your day. For a cohesive look, incorporate green into key elements like your floral arrangements, table settings, and bridal party attire. Pair it with complementary colours like gold or blush for a touch of elegance, earthy browns and neutrals for a natural feel or yellows and reds for a bold and vibrant occasion.
