Green With Envy – Foliage Wedding Decoration Ideas

Modern Wedding Posted: November 16, 2016

Our natural surrounds can be a vital source of inspiration when it comes to wedding decorations for your reception or ceremony. Look to the shrubs, the trees and the lush foliage that grows in abundance in our natural landscape. Wedding stylists and florists are opting for luscious leaves and generous lashings of foliage for fresher looking wedding decorations. The nature loving and budget conscious bride will fall head over heels for these foliage styling ideas. We've put together a few of our favourite creative uses of foliage...

Food and Drink

Why not use a touch of garnish to dress up signature cocktails and decorate your wedding cake. Many delicious herbs such as rosemary, thyme and mint make for beautiful and simple drink accompaniments.

Signage and Stationery

Foliage is even making its way into stationery designs. Extend an invitation to your guests or communicate the evening menu with beautiful watercolour native Australian foliage or lush green fern illustrations.
