The Weddings by Funjet team is the most up to date on wedding trends that are hot for this upcoming season. For 2017, we have our eyes on everything green! Even Pantone has announced their 2017 color of the year to be Greenery. The color green is known for being refreshing, renewing, and restorative -- all the things a true getaway is supposed to embrace. Green is as natural as it gets, but can be paired with a variety of other colors, or even no complimentary colors at all. Also known as a "trans-seasonal" color, this trend is completely doable anywhere, anytime. Here are 15 ways to incorporate greenery into your destination wedding to keep up with the trends!
Matching your invitation suite to your wedding theme is the perfect way to introduce your style to your wedding guests. Crank up the excitement of a tropical feel and a vibrant green theme with a water color suite like this one from Citrus Press Co. on Etsy.

Keep your ceremony decor simple and natural by lining your aisle with leaves. They will give a totally fresh feeling without taking away from the real star of the show. Looking for even more of a natural decor style? We suggest using bamboo chivari chairs to stay neutral with the greenery.

These bouquets are just as flawless as the ladies holding them! We are swooning over the simplicity and the fullness behind a more natural bouquet look that gives the ultimate pop of bright white. Put a more unique spin on this look by having your bridesmaids also dress in white. Wondering what that giant focal point flower is in the bridal bouquet? Let us introduce you to the King Protea Flower.

Pair those botanical place cards with this hand written table number. We love the idea of using white ink to make the table numbers stand out amongst other greenery decor. To make it extra easy for your guests to find the right table number, add a bright pop of color near the table numbers to make them stand out.

We love the easy blend of the natural wood and greenery with these place settings. We suggest ditching the table linens and utilizing wooden tables instead. The dark brown really brings the green hues out. The botanical twist to the classic plate charger is a great way to add subtle decor detail.
Sometimes, less is more. With this basic banana leaf napkin ring, you get just that! Many venues include basic table settings that have white linen napkins. Spruce them up by incorporating a hint of green this way.
