There’s something so sophisticated and timeless about the rich, deep tone of emerald green, and when it’s added to a wedding’s fashion, decor and details, I’m hooked! After running across the incredible photo series from Michael Eastman of the interiors of buildings in Cuba (above) I’ve been day dreaming about a wedding as warm, romantic and magical as those rooms looks to be, so here are a few emerald green wedding ideas that have made their way into my imagination…

What three adjectives best describe your wedding? Fun, loving, fiesta

What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day? I like things clean and simple. I didnt want an overly fussy wedding; I just wanted everyone to have fun. I think that mindset translated throughout the day.

Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding? The best decision we made was hiring a wedding planner. Sayulita Dream Weddings went above and beyond our expectations. One of the moments I love the most from our wedding was when we released the wish lanterns. It was an idea that I wanted to try out but wasnt sure if it would be very cool or very cheesy. The lanterns turned out to be one of the most magical and still talked about moments from our wedding.

Wedding color palette: Grey and Orange

There’s something extraordinarily classic about braids and braided wedding details – in hair styles, in fashion, on tabletops, anywhere! That Grecian aesthetic they impart, and their sculptural beauty that’s deceptively simple to create, make braids an elegant choice for adding interest to any kind of wedding style!
