1. Define your color palette for a white and natural wedding

Mix whites for more depth

White is not a single color! To avoid a flat or sterile atmosphere, consider combining different shades of white: pure white, ivory, off-white. This tone-on-tone approach helps create a bright and warm ambiance while remaining understated.

Tip: Alternate fabrics (tablecloths, napkins, curtains) in these different tones to add visual depth.

Add a vegetal touch with sage green

Sage green, soft and subtle, is the perfect partner for white in creating a natural ambiance. Use it in small touches:

• Toile de Jouy napkins
  
• Patterns on table plans or dividers
  
• Hanging ivy as a visual callback

This color can also appear on tags, stationery, or menus for subtle consistency.

Enrich the palette with natural accent colors

If you want to enhance your palette and find the ideal companion for sage green, also consider:

• sand beige or nude for warmth
  
• pearl grey or light taupe for elegance
  
• soft terracotta in very small doses
  
• matte gold for tableware or candleholders

Be sure not to use more than three dominant colors to maintain visual balance.

2. Choose the right materials for a natural and chic atmosphere

Preferred materials

The authenticity of a white and natural themed wedding largely depends on the materials chosen. Opt for decorations with natural, raw, and warm textures:

• Rattan pendant lights above tables, sometimes adorned with greenery
  
• Linen or beige sheer curtains to dress the structure lightly
  
• Cane chairs for a vintage touch
  
• Raw wood tables, either bare or with cotton gauze runners
  
• Burlap poufs or a boho lounge corner
  
• Boho tableware made of handcrafted ceramic or matte stoneware, with irregular shapes to add authenticity down to the smallest details
  
• A sailcloth tent with a light and modern structure to create an intimate yet open atmosphere

The importance of textures

Playing with textures is key to creating a warm setting: crinkled linen, cotton gauze, grained wood, woven rattan... These materials tell a story and visually warm up the space. Favor matte finishes, which look more natural than glossy ones.

3. Create airy floral decoration

Flowers are the soul of the decor. Choose arrangements made of:

• Baby’s breath (light white cloud)
  
• White flowers such as peonies, roses, orchids
  
• Pampas grass for a soft, feathery texture
  
• Eucalyptus or soft greenery for freshness
  

Alternating between low and high arrangements will help bring rhythm to your tables.

Floral staging plays a central role in the wedding atmosphere. A ceremony arch draped in light fabric and greenery sets a solemn and poetic stage for your vows. On the tables, centerpieces alternate between clear glass vases and terracotta pots, bringing an artisanal and natural touch. Lastly, a floral garland delicately arranged on the bar or buffet completes the look and emphasizes the cohesive aesthetic of the decor.

4. Create soft lighting ambiances

Lighting plays a crucial role, especially in the evening. Choose warm, diffuse light to enhance the natural atmosphere:

• string lights
  
• rattan or white metal lanterns
  
• matte gold candleholders or tealights
  
• indirect spotlights on walls or drapes
  

The little extra that makes all the difference ? Place floating candles in large glass containers for a poetic effect.

5. Design interactive setups for an immersive experience

Make your decor participatory and memorable with a few aesthetic activity ideas:

• Plant wall photo backdrop
  
• Flower bar (guests create their own mini-bouquet)
  
• Natural calligraphy workshop (on dried leaves or recycled paper)
  
• Table plan suspended from a tree branch
  

A subtle use of sage green, natural material furnishings, floral arrangements, and fabric-draped structures all come together beautifully. For a concrete example, take a look at one of our projects: the white and natural themed wedding at Château du Bois de Sanzay.
