For 2015 wedding decor, greenery is moving into the spotlight. No longer just a filler, brides are utilizing green leaves and vines as a major part of their floral themes. Adding abundant greens to your venue and bouquets results in a verdant arrangement sure to luxuriously enhance your event, without looking too perfect or manicured.

While many brides are choosing to have bouquets and décor completely comprised of greenery, you can also combine floral elements for a look that comes straight from nature. Cover your trellis, gazebo or arch in ivy or mint leaves, and choose floral blooms to accent – rather than dominate – the scene. An added bonus? Your white or ivory dress will spectacularly contrast against the green backdrop.

Once you head for the reception, there are so many creatively subtle ways to infuse the décor with greenery. Borrow a long fern frond from the bridal bouquet to adorn a place setting; use delicate vines to tie around a scroll thanking your guests for being there; or decorate the back of guest chairs. Bouquets of aromatic herbs make for a centerpiece that is not only lovely, it can actually complement you menu! If you are committed to a color palette but love the idea of a more natural look, consider a centerpiece with generous greens and a few well placed, vivid splashes of color. Not only is it beautiful, but it looks fresh gathered and organic.
