"If You Love Green but Don’t Want Leaves! 9 Types of Surprisingly Abundant Green Flowers"

No Leaves Needed, But I Love Green!
The shades of green are refreshing, fresh, and wonderful, don't you think?
When we think of "green as the main color" in weddings, we often imagine "natural-themed floral arrangements and bouquets with lots of leaves (greens)"...
But that's not quite what I mean.
✅ I want to enjoy the color green elegantly!
✅ I feel like adding leaves somehow reduces the feminine touch, and I don't like that.
There must be others who feel the same way.
In fact, one of my friends said, "I don’t want too many leaves, as it makes it feel overly green, so please just a little in my bouquet!"
(But in the end, it seemed there were more leaves than she had imagined, and she said, "I wish I had gone without them...")
For those who feel similarly, here’s a tip when ordering flowers:
You can create green floral arrangements without using leaves! ♩
Instead of leaves, you can add green with flowers and stems.
Bundling a lot of leaves can give a casual feel, but if the flowers themselves are green, you can enjoy the color green without ruining the elegant atmosphere ♡
“Are there such things as green flowers?”
You might be thinking, but actually, there are quite a few! ♡
In this article, I’ll introduce green flowers that you might want to use for wedding bouquets and venue arrangements.
If you want to add a green touch while maintaining an elegant atmosphere, be sure to check this out ♩
Green Flower ① Viburnum
The fluffy, round shape of Viburnum is charming.
The small flowers bloom densely, and from afar, they look like a ball.
It's also known as Snowball.
The flower language is "Playfulness" and "Vows" ♡

Mums also have green color variations.
