Just like an ethereal flash on a dreamy emerald gem, sage green colours are having a moment in the spotlight. From Pinterest boards to bridal boutiques, this soft and earthy hue has been branching its way into wedding aesthetics. So, what’s behind this sprouting colour trend, and how can you make it work for your special day and beyond? From your engagement ring to the wedding bands, the pop of gorgeous green is sure to enchant and delight.
Sage radiates tranquillity, versatility and embraces all things organic which has been a big part of modern wedding themes for a while now. It’s flattering on all skin tones, harmonises beautifully with jewellery, and makes for a seemingly neutral backdrop for everything from bridesmaid dresses to table settings. So what’s been the catalyst for this age of sage?
It’s no surprise that the sage palette has reinforced the love for green gemstones. Whether you want to fully commit to an emerald or green sapphire engagement ring, or accessorise with delicate peridot earrings, incorporating green gems into your bridal jewellery will most certainly be bang on theme. Here are some ideas on how brides, grooms and even wedding parties can embrace this blossoming trend.
Men’s jewellery might be understated, but a green accent can make an impact. A wedding ring with a green sapphire or a subtle alexandrite Signature Stone is a thoughtful way to incorporate your theme.
Jewellery gifts are a fabulous way to thank your bridesmaids or parents while enhancing your wedding aesthetic. Opt for green gemstone earrings or necklaces for bridesmaids, or select matching pieces for the mothers of the bride and groom. Not only will these treasures complement their outfits, but they’ll also serve as cherished mementoes.
Bridal jewellery is where green gemstones can be the true focus, especially if their engagement ring or wedding bands feature emeralds or green sapphires. A pair of emerald drop earrings, a delicate alexandrite pendant, or a bracelet adorned with peridots all sound dreamlike. Each piece will subtly echo the soft sage tones of the wedding decor.
If a bespoke design is at the top of your wedding wish list, we offer so many options to suit your verdant needs, including floral engagement rings to transport you to a romantic garden. Customise your engagement ring with a green sapphire or signature stone for a timeless piece that ties your colour theme to your love story.
Emeralds are a quintessential choice for weddings, symbolising love, rebirth and harmony. They also score highly enough on the Mohs scale, meaning they’re built to last.
These rich green gems exude pure sophistication and pair beautifully with sage green decors. Have an heirloom emerald necklace? It could be your ‘something borrowed,’ blending family tradition with your green theme. For ‘something new’, a pair of emerald earrings, or explore our collection pieces that can all be fitted with emerald centre stones, embellish the sides and even the inside of the band.
Peridots, with their fresh lime hue, are a stunning complement to sage. These eye-catching gems symbolise prosperity and positivity, making them ideal for weddings. Whether you’re accessorising with a peridot pendant or gifting peridot earrings, this gemstone adds a cheerful, zesty touch.
Alexandrite is the chameleon of gemstones, shifting hues from green to red depending on the light. Its rarity and mystique make it an exquisite choice for sage-themed weddings, especially for brides seeking something truly unique. Incorporate alexandrite jewellery into your ensemble to reflect the magic of your big day. Whether you’re donning a pair of alexandrite earrings or displaying an alexandrite necklace, this rich, mossy-hued gemstone is sure to create a dreamlike atmosphere.
Couples tying the knot surrounded by sage green might also want to extend the theme to their rings. From engagement rings featuring green sapphire accents to wedding bands with sage-hued Signature Stones, the options are endless.
Leafy designs and organic motifs also echo the colour palette beautifully, creating a harmonious nature-inspired design that celebrates nature and love.
