green dress

A green wedding dress can be so fresh and gorgeous — we love ’em emerald, chartreuse, and especially bright green! We’ve got tons of real pictures of real brides wearing really green wedding dresses. Oh, and if you can’t get enough of this color, we’ve also got a whole bunch of posts about green wedding shoes.

Morgan & Jon’s multi-location trifecta wedding

Four locations, four weddings, and four times the reason to see what the hell it’s all about! And that includes a hand-spray-painted dress, a surprise wedding tattoo, and a really awesome “water ceremony.” You must see what ceremony flub made all the guests raise their hands in the air and wave ’em like they just don’t care.

A painting-worthy two-tone wedding gown from Wedding Dress Fantasy

When Tova, the designer behind [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/wedding-dress-fantasy"]Wedding Dress Fantasy[/vendor-heart], uploaded this photo to her Real Brides album on Facebook, she commented that this photo was “soooo romantic, it almost looks like a painting.” And I have to agree. This photo is the perfect compliment to the that picture perfect two-tone wedding dress in gold and green.

A 1920s-era vintage wedding in a 19th-century Victorian house

In the mood for some fabulous vintage style? This wedding delivers. The bride, Courtney, gives us two dresses to satisfy our appetites: a lusciously beaded, green flapper-style number and a vintage 1920s dress with the actual accompanying headpiece, which we’ve been staring at covetously ever since we first saw it. There was even a photo shown at the wedding of the original bride wearing both pieces (look for it on the guest book table!).

Technicolor Muppet madness at this Austin wedding

Never have I seen so much colorful Muppet hilarity in one wedding. (And we’ve seen some Muppets!). A Muppet cake (with awesome sheet cake alternative), Muppet felt bouquets, doppelganger hand puppets, and an ANIMAL BAND(!!) make Cristina and Trevor’s wedding a total nostalgia-fest. There were even felt Muppet eyes and props for the photo booth. Feast your eyes and get smacked in the face with color!

Erin & Jay’s queer Jewish Dominican wedding

This pair has an awesomely diverse community willing to celebrate and totally donate their time and energy into making this wedding rock. And boy, did it. In addition to the bride’s handmade dress (out of a sari!) and groom’s kick-ass suit, there was wedding party aisle dancing, ukulele toasts, and a giant group hug right after the ceremony.

Jess & Martyn’s inclusive budget-friendly wedding

This pair wanted LEGO details, a cow cake, an amazing green dress, and a VW van that may or may not make it to its destination, and nobody was getting in the way of those awesome plans. There may have been some hesitation from the peanut gallery, but once everyone saw the results, it was hard to argue that a good time was in store. OH, and the bride’s bow and veil headpiece might just have made it to the top of my favorites list.
