Green has always been a popular choice for new beginnings, symbolizing growth, harmony, and freshness...all perfect ingredients for a wedding or baby shower!
For 2013, however, one specific shade of green is set to make waves on the wedding scene: Mint. Soft and feminine, but with a cool crispness, mint also has the slightest tinge of nostalgia, making it the perfect choice for an entrance into a life full of happy memories.
The color mint is gaining attention on Pinterest, with pinners gushing over mint in everything from soft green wedding dresses to crisp table linens. Here are a few of our top picks!
Dresses + Baubles
We love this soft, flowing, yet angular dress by Vera Wang! The vertical bow in the back adds the perfect touch.
The Contessa Jade necklace by Stella & Dot adds a dose of elegance to any ensemble.
Linens + Tablescapes
Use the color mint in a pattern form as a backdrop. This lets the lets flowers shine and radiate, like in the set-up below.
Don’t want mint to dominate the table? You can also opt for a simple runner.
To go for an even subtler approach, keep mint out of the linens altogether and select chairs or chair covers to incorporate the color that way.
Tasty Cakes
These sweet macaroons are just asking for a nibble.
This cake is very reminiscent of Wedgwood china. We love the ceramic sugar bowl cup on top.
It’s all in the details
Succulents add a textural flourish to this minty fresh bouquet.
This sweet custom embroidered pillow makes a wonderful keepsake. It matches the party decor, but afterwards the newlyweds can take it home as a personalized reminder of their happy day.
Bottles of green lemonade stand at the ready to help dancing guests cool off.
Where have you seen the color mint used especially well?
