Bridal Bouquet Ideas for Pink and Lime Green

Pale pink roses have tradition going for them, and they're basically beautiful.

A bride who wants a pink and green wedding has plenty of pretty choices for her bouquet: pink flowers, some greenery -- how simple is that? But roses, tulips or peonies? Blush, coral or fuschia? Bright green or silvery leaves? You might even add some white or buttercream flowers into the mix. Suddenly it's an intriguing challenge to find the perfect bouquet for your perfect wedding. Maybe you need a theme.

Preppy

Pink and lime green is a natural combination for a preppy wedding. Keep things simple and casual, especially if it's an outdoor event. One bride on The Knot website chose a bouquet of Queen Anne's lace, berries and pale roses. Another outdoor bride carried "a lush bouquet of hydrangeas, roses and freesias accented with lady’s slipper orchids." The groom and ushers can wear striped green ties.

Beach

A pink and lime green scheme is bright and playful for a beach wedding. Martha Stewart Weddings shows a pink bouquet of patterned phalaenopsis orchids with roses and calla lilies. A simple one of white, yellow-centered Eucharis lilies is another fresh, casual choice.

Vintage and Traditional

Pick a lush bouquet of pink garden roses and peonies with green leaves. A bride in Brides' online site carried white hydrangeas and stephanotis with green berries for her pink-and-lime, waterfront wedding. The bridesmaids dressed in green and carried hot-pink hydrangeas. Brides alternately suggests pairing deep pink, wine-based purple and bright greenery.

Earth Friendly

Brides who want earth-friendly bouquets can choose locally sourced flowers, greenery and herbs, or create nonfloral beauties that will last long past the wedding. Martha Stewart Weddings suggests a bright, tropical shell bouquet for a beach wedding. Choose a pink or lime to contrast with bridesmaids' dresses. For a vintage look you can keep forever, have a "bouquet" made of pink and green gemstones.
