Few wedding colours feel as timeless and refreshing as sage green. Loved by modern couples for its soft, natural tone, sage perfectly complements outdoor venues: from rustic barns to elegant garden celebrations.
This season, green wedding palettes are flourishing, with shades like basil, eucalyptus, mint, and moss offering endless inspiration. Below, we explore the top five ways to style sage green wedding ties - and how to bring your outdoor wedding look together beautifully.
Sage Colour Trends
Sage is a versatile hue that sits between grey-green and pastel olive, making it ideal for nature-inspired weddings. What’s trending this year:
- Eucalyptus & Misty Green: Soft, silvery undertones that photograph beautifully against floral whites, blushes, and peaches.
- Basil & Pistachio: Warmer greens for sunny outdoor ceremonies, adding vibrancy and warmth to linen or beige suits.
- Moss & Olive: Deeper, earthy greens perfect for woodland-inspired weddings or grooms who want contrast against lighter bridesmaid tones.
- Avocado & Green Bean: Playful, retro shades making a comeback in summer wedding styling.
- Classic Sage: The ultimate go-to: balanced, soft, and always elegant.
Matching With Florals
Sage and its green-toned cousins naturally pair with a wide variety of wedding florals.
- Romantic garden weddings: Pair sage ties with white roses, blush peonies, or ivory ranunculus for a timeless look.
- Rustic outdoor weddings: Combine moss green ties with wildflowers, lavender, and dried grasses.
- Modern minimalist weddings: Go monochrome with eucalyptus or olive foliage-only bouquets for a boho, cohesive style.
Green tones also complement trending bridesmaid colours like terracotta, dusty rose, champagne, and soft grey, allowing your wedding party to look coordinated but not overly matched.
Styling Tips for Groomsmen
Your groomsmen’s accessories bring personality and depth to the overall look. Here’s how to style sage successfully:
- Mix your greens: Pair sage ties with mint or basil pocket squares for subtle contrast.
- Add texture: Choose matte finishes like textured shantung or soft satin to match outdoor lighting.
- Coordinate accessories: Matching lapel pins, socks, boys’ ties, and even dog accessories complete the look effortlessly.
- Balance the tones: If the bridesmaids wear lighter sage or misty green, opt for slightly deeper green ties to create visual harmony in photos.
