While flowers are an integral part of wedding decor, probably even its backbone, there's something about the presence of greenery that amplifies the entire function's look. It's like the presence of green in wedding decor brings the outdoors inside and the natural shade creates a classic, crisp and clean look. 

Irrespective of whether you’re hosting a glam, boho, tropical, or modern wedding; lush greens are a gorgeous addition to any theme. Plus, there's plenty of room for creativity when it comes to selecting the greenery you want to include. You can keep it simple with a few branches or make it lavish with suspended green installations. Furthermore, seasonal greenery can be used to modify your decor according to the time of the year, like fragrant pine for the cold weather or eye-catching monstera leaves for balmy temperatures. 

Not only are green leaves a stunning decoration, but it’s also a budget-friendly option. So,  if you’re looking for ways to make every head turn without breaking the bank, these fresh greenery ideas will not disappoint.
