Yah, you’re seeing “our” green with other floral greens, and it’s OKAY! Where were you, With This Ring, a few days ago, when I was stupidly stressing about greens?!

Scrolling through her wedding, I see so many similarities to mine - bold green, black and white damask, etc. But I also noticed that there are different shades of green represented throughout the wedding, and not just in the flowers.
The flower girl dresses, pashminas for the bridesmaids, etc., are all different shades of green.

If I hadn’t been having a “green crisis” when I was reading through these posts, I honestly don’t think I would have even acknowledged that the greens were different… I would have just enjoyed looking at her wedding and seeing how fabulous all of the little details were. And I know (or at least hope) that everyone will think the same about our wedding, whether we showcase 1 or 10 different shades of green.
All of you have given me great feedback as I was wavering on such a silly little detail - the color/flower of the groomsmen’s boutonnieres. I’m vowing to not think about it again, to take examples of the green with me when I meet with our florist in July and let her help me make a decision that not only will look great, but will hold up well throughout the day. Because I’m going to guess that as a floral designer, her intentions are the same as mine - a beautiful end result!
What has given you perspective on planning “dilemmas”, whether big or small?

Wasn’t she a Bee? I think she disappeared!
You are right - it’s Mrs. Sundae!

I thought this seemed REALLY familiar but couldn’t put a finger on it 
Yeah, Mrs. Sundae decided not to recap on WB. but she had an adorable wedding!
I’m glad you have some clarity on the ‘green’ front Miss Stiletto!
mine’s pink! lol… my sash and the JBM match but the BM’s dresses are different… as are the flowers… but I’ve decided I don’t care. At least it’s all pink!
I love mixing all different greens. Plus it’s so much less stressful to not have to worry about color matching!
I think I’m just spending too much time on the little details. Our colors are black and white- so we don’t need to worry about shades of colors. Hopefully, it will help us in the long run!
But, I do LOVE the different shades of green. It works so well, not-too-matchy-matchy.
@meghawkins:
Those are actually pictures I pulled from Mrs. Sundae’s blog, With This Ring. I think she said she got them at Banana Republic. They’re so bold and fun - I bet it would be easy for you to create/find something similar!
It’s Miss (now Mrs.!) Sundae! I so wished she had recapped on the Bee…
It’s so funny because I was reading through her blog last night going “this has to be a Bee.” But it just didn’t click! Her wedding was gorgeous, I’m so glad I stumbled upon her recaps…seeing the color scheme I’ve chosen execute so well was really helpful
I had the same crisis w/ aqua and turquoise so I decided to use both
P.S. What helped me was looking at pictures of home decor.
There was a post (from who I forget) about all the work that went into programs only to see so many left behind. It definitely gave me perspective with not stressing over mine!
This is too funny. One of our colors is kelly green, and I’ve totally thrown that color by the wayside for florals. For our RSVP envies, we went with a different, lighter green with kelly green writing. Our save-the-date envie liners were in a pattern with a different green. While I LOVE the kelly green we chose, I just know that it’d be too hard to find that exact shade of everything. I think it’s a nice touch because they’re all in the same family anyway.
@AbbieOinCO:
Love it! I so just “blog stalked” you and there’s so much great inspiration on your blog I’m not trying to think of different ways we can add in shades of green…hmm!
good to hear that you’ve sorted out yr dillemma. i think it takes a lot of stress off
so, are you staying with the berries then??
@mrspaetz:
The berries are still in the running! I think I will take options to my florist and have her help me make the final decision…I need to stop being such a spazzy control freak worrier 
It’s great that you can overlook the dilemma and not be too stressed about it. Making the decision is the hardest part, and sticking with it is a good idea.
