Denny thought he was being funny when he challenged me to create a wedding inspiration board that was to be inspired by the Andes Mint green color wrapper. Well, I took him up on the challenge and incorporated the mint candy and I theme this wedding "Mint to Be". What would really be neat is if the groom's name was Andy! hehe.
At any rate, I took the green that is pleasant to some, but not necessarily the first choice for others. This Kelly/Emerald-Green, for lack of knowing the exact hue, may not even be a color found in your reperitoire, but when paired with chocolate brown (hmmm chocolate...makes sense), it is absolutely tasteful (no pun intended...well, maybe)!
Starting with a blank template and using white linens will allow you to use the green and brown as accent colors. By all means, have your bridal party in the green. It looks excellent in pictures! Wrapping the napkins in chocolate brown ribbons to match the ribbon on the cake, is very chic. Bringing the mint candy in to the desserts whether it be through mint cupcakes, a specialty drink, or a green candy bar, is a cute touch that will have the guests raving. Try a chocolate brown aisle runner. Have fun with the invitations. They can be brown with green inside (just like the Andes Mints).
Speaking of invitations, if you know you are going to do this theme early enough, you can always send out "engageMINTS" to your guests as Save-The-Dates! There are many places that offer customized mint tins in which you can have your names and a message printed and then add some mints inside. These would make for great favors too! Maybe they could then be called "commitMINTS". Do you not love it?
