Read on and we’ll offer up all our tips and tricks to make your sage green nuptials just as dreamy as you’re imagining!

Finding your perfect sage green wedding venue

Selecting the right wedding venue is perhaps the most important initial step you can take in planning your wedding. Think about it: you can have the most glamorous decor, the most breathtaking wedding dress your guests have ever seen, and the most delicious wedding cake you’ve ever tasted, and if the place where you’re actually having your wedding is less than stellar, you and your loved ones are likely to be disappointed.

But although it’s an important decision, there’s no need to be overwhelmed by the choice. In fact, there are tools out there that can help connect you with your ideal wedding venue. One of the most effective tools for locating not just wedding venues but all sorts of spaces for hourly rental is Peerspace. It’s the largest marketplace on the internet for hourly venue rentals, with thousands of listings throughout North America and beyond.

Before you begin your search, we share a couple of examples of Peerspace wedding venues we think would work perfectly for a sage green wedding.

Beautiful 1895 Mansion + Enchanting 2 Acre Garden in Lakeside, CA

Our first example is a combination indoor/outdoor venue. If you choose to have your wedding ceremony outside, sage green pairs beautifully with other shades of green as well as with the many other hues found in a garden. Your sage green wedding will look absolutely stunning against a backdrop of blooming flowers (this venue has lots of lovely roses starting in the spring) and the “deep green” of the lawn.

Ancient trees surround the two acres of gardens and lawns and the north patio looks out on the Cuyamaca mountains. Plus, the “beautiful stained wood wedding arch” would make a wonderful centerpiece for your nuptials. Meanwhile, the indoor space is equally impressive, a 126-year-old mansion “fully restored to its 1895 grandeur inside and out.”

Unsurprisingly, this venue comes with more than 200 positive reviews, including this one from a renter who booked her wedding here. “This place is AMAZING!! Christian is such a great host, always responded fast to messages and questions. He worked through my whole wedding, to set up and break down, made sure all the deliveries went smoothly and chauffeured my guests to the venue all on perfect timing. He has a beautiful house with beautiful views and takes great care of the property.”

Modern, Bright and Spacious Venue in Smyrna, Georgia

The Table is a modern venue with plenty of natural light since it has windows spanning the entire length of the space). It would go perfectly with an on-trend sage green wedding. The overall design of the space is relatively simple, allowing you to decorate and customize it to your heart’s content.

A small- or medium-sized wedding would work well here, as it can accommodate as many as 150 people. Conveniently, the space is “set up for basic A/V needs with wireless mics, TV’s, and a sound system” and comes with a large kitchenette.

Browse its dozens of glowing reviews, which call it “beautiful, bright and absolutely convenient” and the space’s hosts “very professional and helpful.”

Sage green wedding decor

One beautiful idea: bring sage green foliage into your floral bouquets, whether that’s the bridal bouquet you carry down the aisle, the centerpieces for your dinner tables, or pew end florals. Sage green foliage will pair beautifully with flowers in shades of ivory, blush pink, pale yellow, purple, and red, but because it is versatile enough to act as a neutral, flowers of just about any color will go well with it.

Eucalyptus leaves are a fabulous choice for sage green foliage, and they also happen to smell wonderful.

A sage green wedding arch will also help to bring the theme together. Happy Wedding suggests that you “use an asymmetrical wedding arch or a frame shaped arch and decorate it with foliage, eucalyptus leaves, and white roses”. In addition to or instead of foliage, you might also use a long swath of fabric draped and wrapped around the arch for a simple, elegant look.

But if you want a white dress, sage green pairs well with shades of white, so you can easily incorporate it into your accessories – sage green bridal shoes, anyone? – as well as your makeup look for a cohesive color palette.
