A twist on bridal couture, the green wedding gown is both regal and striking. Now, more than ever, brides are opting for colored gowns over a traditional white dress—and one of our favorite hue options for bold brides is green.
Whether have cultural ties to the color or are having a garden wedding surrounded by nature, green is a bold statement choice for a bridal gown. It represent growth and prosperity, and it happens to come in a vast array of shades to suit any style. We love deep forest green for a dramatic bold, statement. Sage, on the other hand, is the perfect choice for whimsical, fairytale-inspired forest wedding.
Read on for the best green wedding dresses.

What to Look for in a Green Wedding Dress
The shade
When it comes to a statement color like green, the most important factor to consider is the shade. Look for a hue that's flattering to your skin tone, but also compliments your wedding color theme. Think about the statement you want to make—a soft sage green dress is going to be a more subtle look than a bright lime or vibrant jade gown.
The material
If you're going for a more muted effect, lean towards natural materials that don't reflect a lot of light. For a bolder look, go with a shiny satin or silk. Patterns (especially nature-inspired prints) can also add interest and are ideal for garden or tropical weddings.
The season
Pretty pastels in shades like sage or mint are perfect for spring and summer nuptials, while winter weddings usually work best with gowns that come in sophisticated jewel tones like emerald. If you're looking to incorporate both green and white into your celebrations, you can always wear a traditional white gown for the ceremony, then switch into a green look for the reception and after-party. It's your wedding day so you make the rules.
FAQ
What season do green wedding dresses work best for?
Since green wedding dresses vary greatly in hue (from silvery sage to deep, almost-black emerald), a green gown can work for any season. What you’ll really want to keep an eye out for, however, is the fabric and sleeve length to ensure you won’t overheat or be too chilly during your celebration.
How do I accessorize a green wedding dress?
Since green is generally bold on its own, it's good to stick to more more neutral hues and matching metals with accessories. Think simple pearl earrings, a diamond bracelet or monochromatic stacked bangles.
Is it okay to wear a green wedding dress?
There are absolutely no rules that say you have to wear a white dress to your wedding! If you want to wear green, wear green! Our only suggestion is to check with the house of worship ahead of time if you’re having a traditional ceremony—you'll want to make sure they don’t have any fashion guidelines and restrictions.
