Red & Green

Ron and Gill wedding in Hawaii

Here is some additional ideas for use of the red and the green

Wedding favors, When it comes to your wedding favors, your imagination is really your only limit for this type of wedding! Begin by giving every guest a red or green leis as they enter the reception area. Or, you can hand them out before the ceremony and look out to a sea of red and green as you say your vows. These leis can then be taken home by the guests to remind them of the beautiful tropical wedding they attended. Another idea for favors is to hand out floating flip flops in either red or green. You could get really creative and mix them up, one green flip flop to one red flip flop. Print the name of the bride and groom on one color and the name of the groom's on the other.

Some ideas for the Reception, If you want to do something different than flowers, try placing red and green tea lights throughout the center of the table. To add to the idea of being surrounded by water, you can purchase floating tea lights and have them float romantically in the water or you can place marbles in champagne floats and place one tea light in each glass. This is a very special way to make candles as your centerpieces Jill and Ron choose to have the green orchid leis cut and draped around the table. You may want to stay within the red and green theme when it comes to your menu as well and again, there are very simple ways to do this. Beginning with the cake, it's probably best to start with white and have red and green accents. Trim one tier with small red flowers designed from icing and on the next, trim with green flowers that have been carved from the same flavor icing. Incorporate into the menu such items as red and green grapes, red and green salad, using spring mix lettuce and red peppers, and red and green Bartlett pears.
