Since this color combo plays so well with natural elements like birch and greenery, let Mother Nature flirt with your theme. For starters keep your invitations simple but opt for a paper that has a bit of a texture to it, like bamboo. You can’t go wrong with a classic neutral, a touch of glam, and strong forestry vibes. Glitz up the décor with mercury glass accents and go for all white florals with lush greenery to make full, glamorous arrangements.
