The Inspiration: From trees to the ocean, Mother Nature has so much to offer in terms of wedding inspiration. Let the season inspire you, or use a setting that's sentimental -- like the oak tree where you shared your first kiss -- to unify your wedding day details.

Dress Code: Casual. Choose an ethereal wedding dress that has pretty floral or leaf embellishments as an homage to your theme. Consider a cool khaki suit for your groom.

Color Palette: Brown and green. Together, chocolate brown and mint green are earthy yet elegant.

Reception Soundtrack: Something serene that incorporates the sounds of nature, like Enya.

INSPIRATION BOARD: Naturally Green

Ideal Settings: Anywhere outdoors, be it a garden or a vast lawn overlooking a river or lake.

HOT WEDDING THEME: Old Hollywood Glamour

Key Details: Go "green" in your wedding details to show your appreciation for the environment. Choose eco-friendly stationery printed on seed paper that guests can actually plant. In lieu of chocolate or Jordan almonds, give guests mini trees as favors they can plant in their backyards. Instead of traditional floral centerpieces, use greenery like ferns or moss in polished silver vessels to decorate your reception tables.
