Having a range of colors like that allow you to add in anything that strikes your fancy, as opposed to searching forever for something that matches nicely. There are some gorgeous peach colored tulips out there. Paired with white hydrangeas and darker orange ranunculus or orchids would be spectacular! For your BMs bouquets, skip the whites and go darker, since their bright dresses can handle the color. Lovely!

For a spring wedding, I think that combo can really pop. I like the idea of the green and white with yellow accents. For a spring wedding, I think that combo can really pop.

This is the color palette for my August wedding and it's coming together beautifully.

So if you are using "spring grass green" I'd mix in pale blue sky and a hint of pink tulip just to make the colors pop. I always go back to nature for a color and a season.

With the grass green, it will look very crisp and clean for a spring wedding. I think if you use it sparingly, a brighter or lemon yellow would be fab, but if you use more yellow you could tone it down a bit. Congrats and happy planning!

If it's IS popular right now, it's still classic. I had white and green flowers, invites, white linens. The only black was the tuxes and the little black dresses on the gals. Everything doesn't have to be matchy-mathcy. I fell in love with hot pink dresses for my flowers girl and ring girl! I think green/white/black are classic.

Don't go pastel on the green or blue... pick strong shades that really pop against the black and white. Sherwin Williams 6438 Dill and 6495 Great Falls are what I have in mind.
