One of the prettiest shades of green is eau de nil, translated from the French to mean ‘water of the Nile’. As its name suggests, it is a truly beautiful, soft green colour, with a hint of yellow that also has pale blue undertones. It is also a gentle hue, that is a subtle way of introducing a pretty green into your wedding theme.

Eau de nil is quite versatile and can be used easily alongside other pastel shades. For example, this colour goes very well with pale pink. You could mix the eau de nil of Eucalyptus and Olive leaves with the palest of pink roses. You could even add Gypsophila and Love in the Mist to soften the flowers and add a romantic element. Eau de nil works really well in natural surroundings as it is found throughout nature, so it is perfect if you are planning to have your wedding in a garden setting.

This colour is also very flattering to wear; for bridesmaids and pageboys, the eau de nil shorts go well with the pale pink sashes and buttons. The groom and his party can match eau de nil ties with pocket squares and to complete the look, you could try adding eau de nil or pale pink ribbons on little pails for confetti bearers. This detail is simple and sweet, but very effective.

For the table decorations, you can create table centres with large bouquets of eau de nil, pink and white flowers to make beautiful statement pieces that are also soft and delicate and have handwritten place names in matching eau de nil ink.

A gently iced cake can be adorned with Eucalyptus leaves and little pink roses to tie it in with this pretty theme.
