In many ancient cultures, green was worn by brides to symbolise fertility, prosperity, and a fresh start in married life. During the Middle Ages, green gowns were popular in Europe for weddings, often chosen to represent growth and harmony.
Over time, green became more prominent in wedding décor rather than attire—used in garlands, foliage, and floral arrangements to create an atmosphere of abundance and renewal.

How We’d Use Green
Green is one of those colours that can take centre stage or work quietly in the background. Here’s how we’d incorporate it into your wedding styling:
Florals
Foliage-forward arrangements with olive, eucalyptus, ruscus, or ferns bring texture and freshness to any celebration. Green can be the base or the hero—both feel timeless and organic.
Setting
Choose a venue where greenery is part of the experience—an Italian villa surrounded by vineyards, a serene garden, or a forest glade. Green comes alive when it’s mirrored by the natural world.
Decor
Think textured linens in muted greens, ceramic vessels, and soft candlelight. Green ribbons or velvet accents can add subtle luxury while keeping the palette calm and cohesive.
Stationery & Website
Green envelopes, botanical watercolour illustrations, and textured papers bring elegance and personality to your stationery suite. Our Giona Collection captures this perfectly with its nature-inspired design and romantic detailing. Green also translates beautifully to your wedding website, creating a fresh, calming experience for your guests.
Green is the colour of life, connection, and timeless beauty. It has the rare ability to work across all seasons, adapt to any setting, and blend seamlessly with almost any other hue. Whether you choose it as a leading colour or a subtle accent, it will always bring a sense of balance and sophistication to your celebration.
