Ideas for a Baby-Blue & Green Wedding Reception
- A baby blue and green color combination lends itself to several different themes. A tropical theme is one way to incorporate these two colors. Choose baby blue tablecloths with leafy green centerpieces to indicate bright blue skies and tropical oceans. Of course, no theme is needed to incorporate a color scheme. You can simply choose to use the colors together. An environmentally conscious bride might include the natural hues of blue and green in her eco-friendly themed wedding.
- A baby blue and green wedding reception can be used in an elegant, sophisticated wedding or can take on a more casual feel. For a casual reception, pair blue and green tropical patterned table linens with clear plates and clear vases with live fish in them for centerpieces. A more formal affair might include baby blue table linens with blue and green striped napkins. Large floral arrangements with pale blue flowers and fresh greenery make formal centerpieces. Use large arrangements of hyacinths through the reception area to emphasize the baby blue color. Yards of baby blue and green tulle can incorporate both colors together when twisted and laid across tables and swagged on walls.
- To incorporate both baby blue and green into a wedding cake, order a cake frosted in pale blue fondant with a leafy green cake topper. Alternately, use light green fondant and top your cake with hyacinths. A more traditional white cake can be piped in light blue and green or can simply have pale blue and light green silk flowers poked between layers to incorporate the two colors.
- If your baby blue and green wedding has taken on a tropical theme, give guests dolphin shaped soap wrapped in baby blue and green tulle and tied with a pretty ribbon. Truffle boxes in either baby blue or green and wrapped in the opposite color and filled with delicious chocolate truffles can make for a nice wedding favor.
