The groom’s team can opt for emerald suits. The pop of jewel tone around the bride and groom would create a symphony of the theme.

The color combination of jade and metallic gold works parallel to the essence of bridal beauty. As an option in the latest trends, brides can opt for jade and gold to create a contrasting effect and maintain the status quo.

However, you can also go for an emerald green bridal gown to stand out. Similarly, the groom can also bring on the regal vibe through a white suit with green accessories.

The Whimsical Wedding Floral Arrangement

Flowers are the most integral part of your wedding décor. Whether it’s the bridal bouquet or wedding décor –flowers play a big role in the storytelling of your big day. They have certain symbolic meanings ascribed and bring the perfect color addition to your wedding theme. 

Floral décor with white and yellow roses mixed up with green leaves and gold pine cones gives an enchanted look to your wedding. You can also opt for daisies, baby breath, wildflowers, and olive leaves to create a royal floral enchant.

The deep, jewel-tone of emerald excels the seasons. Whether you’re eloping in a high-rise modern state or marrying alongside an evergreen forest, or even going for a hillside vineyard wedding, the sparkles of emerald and gold complement almost every setting, season, and ambiance. 

For the table settings, opting for white table covers with emerald green runners and napkins give the dining area a more captivated and fascinating look.

Gold-hued centerpieces in minimal geometric design would give an oomph to your table décor. Go for metallic gold tableware and cutlery to bring in regal perfection.

The right proportion of emerald green and gold gives your wedding stationery a stunning and rare outlook.

We loved the elegant gold foil swirls in the text on sheer cards enveloped in emerald cover, adding a healthy dose of romance to your sophisticated emerald and gold wedding invitations. A customized gold seal will complete the look with elegance.

The welcome sign at your wedding reception can be a larger version of your wedding invitations. The impeccable setting of lights and floral décor around the themed welcome sign can make a stunning setup.

For a couple that knows the style and is mindful, the stationery in these organic and metallic hues can make a minted, formal, yet bold and elegant statement.
