Is anyone else out there using pink and green for their wedding colors?  I would love to see some of your details, if you have pics to share OR would love to hear how you are using the colors throughout your wedding details!  I'm really excited about using pink and green for our May wedding.  What months are other pink/green brides getting married in?  Would love to hear what you're planning!  What are you doing for your bridesmaid dresses, chair covers, flowers, etc??  Yay for fun colors! :)

Thanks KristinK!  Those are absolutely beautiful!  I really like the chocolate brown accent too, that's a great idea!  What color are you putting your wedding party in?  June 27th is  a great day!  That's my birthday :)  I know what you mean about wanting the day to be here already...I feel the same way, and still have a year to go!  Good luck with everything!  I'm sure you're wedding will be beautiful! :)

MayBee, I used pink and green in my wedding with silver/platinum in there as well. I dressed my BMs in silver and my flower girls in green. Pink was in my dress and my hubby's tux. The groomsmen were also in silver. You can view some photos here. And then you can see pics of my invites and some other things I diy'd here. I carried out the colors throughout as much of the wedding as I could. Oh, and I was married in December, so I used softer shades instead of the bright pinks and greens.

Thanks scrapsoflife!!  What beautiful pictures!  I absolutely LOVE your invitations, favors, and favor boxes!  SO, SO cute!  You and your hubby looked absolutely fantastic! I love your dress...I was thinking of maybe putting some color into my dress too, and I really like how subtle your pink was.  Where did you get your dress?  Thanks so much for sharing!! :)

Just saw your second post KristinK!  Yeah, I agree....I don't have room for Swarovski crystals in my budget either! :)  Looking for pink and green now is a great idea...thanks so much for that advice!  Didn't even think about the fact that it will all be pulled and replaced with fall colors.  Thanks so much for mentioning that!  I'm really happy to hear that you are doing pink dresses with green shoes!  I'm doing that too, but the reverse....green dresses with pink shoes....and yeah, I think finding the shoes could be a little challenging too...luckily, I'm gonna leave that one up to my girls!  :)  Thanks again for the great advice!  I would love to see pics of everything after your big day!!

I love dresses with color in them, so I would def encourage you to add some color to yours. I got my dress at Alfred Angelo. They have tons of gorgeous dresses with color options. Don't know what type of dress (or designer) you were looking into, but there are so many dresses now with punches of color thrown in. Even if you end up getting an all white dress, it's usually pretty easy to add a sash/ribbon to it to give it some color. Oh, and I don't think I had any pics up anywhere, but I actually had on some bright pink heels for my shoes, just for fun :D

I'm glad you liked the photos, too. I would have gone for a brighter pink, but it wouldn't have really gone too well in december...haha. Were you planning on doing bright pinks and greens since your wedding is in May? Oh, and I definitely echo KristinK about getting any pink and green items you may need now. Most of the spring/easter lines should be on sale now for your softer shades. Look for some bright pinks and greens during the summer though! Then make sure to buy near the end of summer when things go on sale to make room for fall lines.

Funny you should mention Alfred Angelo!  Everytime I look at dresses online, he seems to be the designer I keep sort of gravitating back to!  I am also definitely planning on wearing pink shoes too.  I would love to see a pic if you have one!  Yeah, we're going with the bright pinks and greens since our wedding is in May.  I think you totally made the right call with the softer shades since your wedding was in December.  That's the great thing about pink and green, so many different shades to choose from!  I will most definitely plan on getting my fabrics, ribbon, etc. this summer.  Thanks so much ladies! :)

Any other pink and green brides out there?!?!  We'd love to hear from you! :)

Thanks for sharing that FlipFlopBride!!  I'm planning on doing green dresses, with pink shoes too!  You looked great! :)  Did you like the pink and green??

I'm wearing pink shoes, FI is wearing a green tie. BMs will wear green dresses of their choosing and carry pink calla lillies. We are desperately searching for pink and green (only) striped ties for the groomsmen. I'm shocked how hard theyve been to find--has anyone else found this in their pink and green searching?

I just love the color combo--so fresh, fun. We are getting married in July too  

Thanks FlipFlopBride!  I'm glad you liked the pink/green combo as a bridemaid...I really want my girls to feel comfortable.  As far as I know, everyone's into it....except for maybe the guys, who I'm planning on putting in pink ties :)  We'll see about that one!  BeachBride09, that sounds absolutely beautiful!! Please, please post pictures after!  KatrinaB, I have been on the lookout for pink and green striped ties, too.  If I find anything good, I'll definitely let you know!  Let me know if you find anything!  And I agree...I think the color combo is fresh and fun too!  I feel like as a guest, I would LOVE to go to a pink and green wedding...it's just fun :)  Mariahjane20, thanks so so so much for posting your link!  Those inspirations pictures are gorgeous!!  I LOVE the pink lanterns...absolutely beautiful!! They totally reinforce how beautiful pink and green weddings are!! Yay!  You girls are great :)

I knew I wasn't alone in the pink and green!!!  We're still a year out (thanks for the "shop now" tip, KristinK!) but I plan on having my bridesmaids wear a dress from the Ann Taylor collection in the pistachio color ... or finding something very similar.  I'd like them to carry a bouquet of soft pink flowers (don't know what flower yet).  As much as I'd love to go all out on huge centerpieces of peonies and garden roses, I think I'll probably end up with something a little less expensive.  Again, not sure what yet.  Our invitations will be ivory with accents of green and pink.  I want to make pomanders of pale pink flowers and green ribbon for the ceremony aisle; if they have the right color green, our chair sashes and centerpeice fabric/runners will be green.  And there will be green and pink accents incorporated into everything else! 

Can't wait to see more pictures of your green and pink!

I got my inspiration for my raspberry, blush, and celadon (pink and green) wedding from Martha Stewart Weddings magazine last summer.  Our centerpieces are green apples with pink peony roses.  Our signature drink is pink.  Our plated appetizer is a berry filled crepe drizzled in a raspberry coulis.  The bridesmaids are wearing raspberry colored dresses with blush sashes and carrying pale pink flowers of their choice (one 'maid is carrying gerbera; another, hydrangea; etc.).  Our wedding is the beginning of August, and it's an afternoon affair (so not too formal).

I'm so excited that there are so many pink and green weddings being planned! :)  What is everyone having for their pink/green details??  Here's what I have planned so far:

Me: Pink Shoes/Pink and White Gerberas (don't worry, I'll have a dress on too! :))

Girls: Green Dresses/Pink Gerberas/maybe pink shoes??  What do you think??

Guys: Pink ties/Green Dendronium Orchids for Boutennieres (except my FI will have a white tie/white bout)

Ceremony Decor: Pink flower petal aisle, pink petals for my niece (our flower girl), and pink and green programs...oh, and two pink and white gerbera arrangements for the arbor at the ceremony site

Recpetion Stuff:  Pink and Green Candy Buffet, pink and green table name cards (not sure what to call them!), pink flower petals on all of the tables, and our centerpieces are going to be pink and green cupcakes in DIY cupcake stands that we'll be serving for desert instead of a cake (we are gonna have a little pink and green cake for us to cut), ivory organza sashes with pink trim for the chair covers, and pink couples trivia cards for ice breakers for the guest tables

 Oh, and our invitations were pink and white too.  I think that's it...but I'm sure I'm forgetting something!

How about you ladies??  What are your pink and green details?? 

Oh, and are any of you putting pink and green details into your bridal gear??  Shoes, jewlery, sashes, etc??  Just curious :)

That's really cute!  All of my girls are picking their own dresses (same color green/same length), but I wanted to find some kind of cute way for them to all having something in common....like maybe a cute, chunky, pink necklace or something.  The green eye shadow idea is a really cute little touch too :)

I'm still on the lookout for bolder striped ties for the groomsmen, but these are our backups: http://www.tiedup.com.au/candypinkgreenstripestie-p-136.html

Those favors are BEAUTIFUL!  Where are they from???  Thanks LinLin99!  Please let me know :)
