    Hi

    My color scheme for my wedding is shades of green (its a nature themed wedding), with my bridesmaids wearing light green dresses with dark green sashes, and my flowergirls having the opposite. My reception will have green runners on the tables and leaves surrounding the candle centrepieces.

    Because of this, I'm really undecided about the colors for my bouquet! I'm planning to have a cascade, with ivy leaves trailing down, but I'm not sure what other colour(s) to have for the flowers! Should I stick to white, or add an accent color? I'd like to decide on the colors before I pick the flower types (as I love so many different flowers and need to narrow them down somehow!!). All the pictured I've found where leaves are dominant have had pink or red as the main flower color, neither of which I'm keen on!

    Any suggestions for colors, or flowers, which would look nice in a cascade, whilst still fitting in with the nature/green theme?

    Thanks! (flowers have been my biggest concern so far, as I'm certainly no expert on them!!)

    I would suggest some yellow for an accent, but a soft pastel yellow. Doesn't go to far from your colour scheme and deffinately won't stick out.

    I agree that yellow would be nice...and would go with green well.
