Is it Ok to Wear Green to a Wedding?
There is a longstanding superstition held in Scotland and Ireland that wearing green to a wedding is unlucky. Which is why sales of green bridesmaids dresses are significantly lower in those two places compared to the rest of the UK, for example. Green is thought to attract fairies to the celebration, who would in turn bring bad fortune to the happy couple. Of course, this is just superstition, and if you don't believe in it, then feel free to wear green to a Scottish or Irish wedding. But maybe check how the marrying couple and their family feel about it first. Otherwise you might end up getting blamed for any problems that occur during the day!

The flowing nature of the skirt and veil makes it ideal for an outdoor or destination wedding, especially one with a scenic, adventurous backdrop like cliffs or mountains.

Sage Green Wedding Dresses
Of all the green shades, sage is really on trend right now. From chic, neutral home decor, to floral arrangements and of course, wedding dresses. Sage is everywhere, and sees no sign of slipping away anytime soon. And with good reason. This fresh pastel tone is fabulously complimentary on a wide range of skin tones, especially those with warmer colored skin. Sage also flatters pretty much every type of hair color, making it the ideal choice if your bridesmaids each have a different hair color.
This elegant light green wrap dress is a versatile and stylish choice for a casual wedding or as a bridesmaid dress. Featuring a flattering V neckline and a tie waist, the dress accentuates the figure while offering comfort and ease of movement. The three-quarter sleeves add a touch of sophistication, while the high-low hemline gives the dress a modern and flowy silhouette. Its soft green hue makes it ideal for outdoor or spring weddings, offering a fresh, nature-inspired palette. The lightweight fabric and wrap design create an effortless, chic look, perfect for brides who prefer a minimalist, laid-back style or for bridesmaids looking to complement the overall wedding theme with elegance and charm.
Sage also looks stunning on a wide range of fabrics, giving sometimes dated fabrics a more modern edge. Like satin, for example. A smooth, silky satin looks so fresh in sage and highlights natural curves fabulously well.
We love a sage green wedding dress for Spring or Summer, and really, these are the seasons this color works best in. You can, of course, rock a sage cocktail, with a coordinated jacket at a Fall celebration. But it's during the warmer months when this pastel tone will really turn heads and suit the seasonal color palette.
This stunning light green gown is a perfect blend of elegance and modern flair, ideal for a chic wedding or as a bridesmaid dress. The off-the-shoulder design features ruffled sleeves, adding a playful and romantic touch. The fitted bodice is beautifully draped, enhancing the silhouette and leading into a flowing skirt with a dramatic high slit that adds movement and sophistication. The soft green color provides a fresh, nature-inspired aesthetic, making this gown a great choice for outdoor weddings or spring celebrations. The gown strikes a perfect balance between classic romance and contemporary style, ideal for a bride or bridesmaid looking to make a statement with both grace and confidence.

Emerald Green Wedding Dresses
If you're looking for a mature pop of color, something that'll work for a sophisticated celebration, emerald green may well be the perfect choice. This classic dark green tone gives off real 1920s vibes, and looks stunning when paired with various other colors, pink and green in particular. Something to think about when shopping for accessories.
Those blessed with a cool-toned complexion will feel at their very best in emerald green, as jewel tones such as this really compliment that particular skin tone. While brunettes and red head's look extra glamorous dressed in this classic tone. Jessica Chastain, for example, is a huge fan of wearing emerald on the red carpet because she knows just how well it goes with her rich red hair.
Season-wise, we would suggest wearing emerald during Fall or Winter. But it would also look great if paired thoughtfully with lighter accessories during Springtime.
Emerald lends itself so well to luxurious, formal affairs, rather than more casual events, as it feels quite dressy. The color also lends itself to more wintry fabrics, such as velvet, which looks simply stunning in dark green.
Consider Emerald crafted into a figure hugging maxi, or maybe used on a more demure A-line. This color and fabric combination offers such a stylish vintage feel, while still feeling distinctly modern.
This breathtaking dark green gown is perfect for a beach or destination wedding, offering a blend of elegance and natural beauty. The dress features a flowing, full-length skirt made of lightweight fabric that moves effortlessly with the breeze, creating a dramatic and romantic effect. The gown has a low, open back and delicate straps, enhancing its ethereal and graceful design. The rich green color complements the natural surroundings, making it an ideal choice for a bride seeking a non-traditional yet sophisticated look. The addition of a flowing scarf-like fabric adds to the gown’s dreamlike quality, perfect for a wedding by the ocean or in a serene outdoor setting. This gown beautifully captures the essence of a free-spirited yet elegant bridal style.

Olive Green Wedidng Dresses
You won't find a more timeless tone than olive. A versatile, earthy hue that looks super sophisticated no matter the season, and can be styled up or down to suit any type of celebration.
If you have an Autumnal wedding event on the horizon, you should certainly consider shopping for something in olive. Whether it's a fun midi style from Nordstrom, or more of a slinky satin number picked up at your local thrift - olive won't let you down in the Fall. Its warm, muted tones suit the changing season perfectly, and will help you find that tricky balance between blending with the background, and popping against the scenery. If you are looking to wear olive outside the Autumn period, opt for lighter shades of it during Spring, and go deeper in Winter.
When it comes to hair color, olive is supremely versatile, looking great on almost any tone. We love it especially on brunettes as the contrast between their dark flowing locks and that soft earthy tone creates such a stunning overall look. Those with naturally, or unnaturally, warm undertones in their skin will look simply fabulous in olive. As the color harmonizes wonderfully with their radiant tone.
Olive looks great on almost any outfit style, or length of guest dress. But if you want our suggestion, go for a light colored floaty chiffon style for a spring or summer wedding. Then maybe something long and tailored with sleeves for a chic Autumnal event.
This light green satin wrap dress is an elegant yet casual option, perfect for a garden or intimate wedding. The dress features a flattering wrap design with a tie at the waist, creating a fitted silhouette that is both comfortable and stylish. The high-low hemline adds a modern touch, while the short sleeves offer a relaxed yet refined look. Made of soft, flowing satin, the fabric catches the light beautifully, adding a luxurious feel to the overall design. The playful slit in the skirt gives the dress a flirty vibe, ideal for brides who want a laid-back but chic outfit for their big day or for bridesmaids in a nature-inspired wedding. The fresh green color makes it a perfect choice for outdoor or springtime celebrations, combining sophistication with ease.

Mint Green Wedding Dresses
Bring a fresh, vibrant burst of color to any celebration with mint green. A really undervalued color of wedding dress for women.
For those searching online ahead of a Spring or Summer event, you should certainly explore the idea of wearing mint. This bright, eye-catching tone looks fabulous set against golden skies, and blends flawlessly with summertime florals. Perfect if celebrations are being held outdoors.
Continuing the sunny theme, mint looks stunning on floaty, flowing gowns in light fabrics such as chiffon and tulle. Ideal for effortless A-lines that highlight your curves up top, while also gracefully catching the breeze. Mint looks equally striking as a base for floral print, especially designs with soft pinks, as that color combination really pops.
Mint is great for those with a fair or medium skin tone, as the coolness of the green will really illuminate your natural coloring. Blondes should opt for lighter shades of mint, as that end of the color spectrum will gift you a soft, romantic look. While those with darker hair should embrace deeper mint greens to bring out your innate vibrancy.
This light mint green dress is an understated yet elegant option for a wedding, particularly suitable for the mother of the bride or groom. The sleeveless design and fitted silhouette offer a sophisticated, classic look, while the subtle pleated detail on the bodice adds a touch of visual interest. The dress’s soft pastel tone is refreshing and versatile, making it ideal for spring or summer weddings. Its knee-length hemline keeps it modest yet stylish, perfect for semi-formal to formal occasions. The minimalistic design is both graceful and timeless, allowing the wearer to feel comfortable while exuding refined elegance.
