It’s been a while since we did a wedding palette for our Inspiration board. And just in time; since PANTONE has announced the 17-5641 Emerald, a lively, radiant, lush green, as their Colour of the Year for 2013. So we thought of doing a Green wedding palette to inspire our couples-to-be.

Green, as we all know, has a great deal of significance: it represents all things Mother Nature like the green of the grass and trees. Green also symbolizes growth and luxury since it is the colour of emeralds (and money in the US). Science has also proved that the human eye can see green more clearly than any other colour in the spectrum.
The lively, radiant and lush green of the emeralds also has great cultural significance. It symbolizes beauty and new life in many cultures and religions. Green also means healing and unity. As far as weddings are concerned, “green is definitely in” and many couples are choosing this colour for their wedding theme. Green wedding dresses in Indian weddings are symbolic on new beginnings and prosperity; many traditions in India insist on brides wearing this colour for their main wedding ceremony.
