At first thought, many people may not believe that shades of green and shades of pink can go together. They seem to clash, given that they are so different from one another.
This can be true, depending on which shades are used.
Chartreuse is a yellowish-green, similar to a lime green, and coral is a pinkish-orange. Since orange and yellow are next to each other on the color wheel, and the two aforementioned shades contain each of those colors, chartreuse and coral actually work pretty well together.
In recent years, chartreuse and coral have been popular choices for weddings. In fact, if you have clicked on this article, you may even be debating whether to use this duo of hues for your own special day.
So, in this article, we have listed some images and ideas for inspiration for a chartreuse coral wedding. Take a look, and see what you think.
1. Roses And Limes
