Green Elegance: The Most Sought-After Palette for Modern Weddings
When it comes to choosing colors for weddings or luxury events, trends shift from season to season – and right now, the absolute favorite is green. Two shades complement each other perfectly: deep emerald green and a soft pistachio hue.
“We’ve noticed that event planners are increasingly looking for a blend of naturalness and elegance. Emerald, which has become the new black, adds luxury and depth, while pistachio brings freshness and softness to the space. Together, they make the setting festive yet warm and welcoming,” explains Ivana Škrlec, Director of Altera, a company specializing in event equipment and pavilions, with projects across 12 countries worldwide.
This green palette currently dominates everything – from chair covers, table linens, drapes, and decorative accents to lighting and floral arrangements. “The biggest advantage of these shades is their versatility. They pair beautifully with gold and beige details as well as natural materials like wood or stone, creating a modern, eco-conscious approach to weddings. That’s why they’re chosen by couples looking for a modern fairy tale, but also by those leaning toward boho or minimalist styles,” adds Škrlec, who, thanks to her international experience, often compares client preferences across countries and transforms them into new trends. “It’s interesting that in Europe there’s a growing demand for a sophisticated play of green tones, while in the Middle East, the trend leans toward contrasting green with bold colors. In Croatia, the focus is on elegance and natural hues, making green the perfect choice,” notes Škrlec.
After years of grey dominating event spaces, clients across Europe and beyond are now seeking colors that bring life to their venues — and green is the color of the moment, symbolizing freshness, growth, and new energy.
