30+ Gorgeous Olive Green Wedding Color Ideas

Olive green is a perfect earthy tone for your wedding color theme. It works particularly well for autumnal weddings, especially if you’re holding your wedding in a forest setting.

The richness of the green will go perfectly with the surrounding greenery, and the other great thing about this color is it can vary from a brighter hue to darker, more grayish tones that are similar to khaki. 

Below you can find some inspiration for an olive green wedding, from botanical arrangements of foliage to wedding invitations, bridesmaid dresses, and decor.

If you’re looking for something a little different from your average pastel hues and wedding neutrals, look no further…
