We're seeing moss everywhere recently, and it isn't only popping up in rustic weddings! Since its form allows it to be shaped in a variety of designs and cling to a number of different surfaces, this greenery can really come in handy. From preppy and traditional receptions to whimsical, romantic events, adding moss can tie your whole theme together. So, want to go woodland without going overboard? Adding subtle moss decor will give you the earthy vibe you're looking for in a beautiful green color while adding a bit of unexpected texture to your details. Check out these real wedding photos for some major moss inspiration!
