How to Combine your Green Flowers
First things first. When combining different shades of green, pay attention to balance. If you would like to combine the darker Dianthus 'Green Trick' with the lighter green Hydrangea 'Mojito', make sure one colour doesn’t overpower the other, because that would be a shame…
Second, if the couple allows this of course, bring the attention to your green centrepieces by adding pops of colour using other blooms, such as neutral white Tanacetum or go crazy with an orange Ranunculus. Eyes will naturally be drawn to the green.
Finally, use a little bit of foliage throughout your arrangements. But be careful not to overdo it, foliage isn’t the main character in this green fairy tale.
How to Care for your Green Flowers
Green flowers for a wedding are, like all flowers, fragile and delicate. Before working with any kind of flower – green or otherwise – conditioning is key.
“We always say, lose as many leaves as you can. The fewer leaves, the more energy goes into the flower.”
Give your flowers (except for poppies, narcissus, and hyacinth) a sharp, clean cut. Remove the leaves. We always say, lose as many leaves as you can. The fewer leaves, the more energy goes into the flower. Put the fresh cut stems in clean water with flower food. Its important to know that for green Viburnum special flower food is used, since they need extra care. Make sure your flowers have a good drink before you start using them.
