Weddings by Color {Emerald}

My all time favorite color has always been green; in fact, I'm wearing green jeans as I write this blog. I just so happen to be a May baby too, making my birthstone emerald. So, when Pantone listed Emerald green as the 2013 "color of the year", you bet I was totally on board. Even though 2013 only has a few months left, this color is sure to stay around for some time, so don't be afraid to showcase it in your 2014 wedding. 

Though any green colors are always a great fit for a wedding, this specific emerald green is the perfect match for wedding decor, not quite too dark to be hunter green and not too bright to seem lime green, it's the perfect compromise and makes a great complement to any other wedding color...except maybe red. 

Here are a few ways you can incorporate my favorite color (and hopefully yours) into your wedding day:

If you ask me, too much green can never be enough, but you also don't want to overdo it, so choose wisely!
