It can be so pretty with a beautiful green and white!!! when are you getting married?
I am a big do-it-yourselfer so for my wedding I am having a dark cobalt/navy blue and a pool/turquoisey blue with silver and white at the end of may...we found some beautiful vases in the dark blue and are doing all white flowers...for your colors, you can stick to all white flowers...so many to choose from lilies, calas, hydrengas, daisies, roses, mums, etc. We have two different centerpieces, one high, one low and the low one could work really well for you...we are just having ivy plants (rich green) and white roses. We found blue boxes for the ivy (maybe you could find green ones) and then just have the white flowers intermixed? Also, we found some big clear vases probably a 10 inch diameter and about 18 inches high and are filling them with blue ball ornaments to decorate our place card table. My placecards are do it yourself too...just those tags (you can get from any craft store)that look like luggage tags with the one hole punched in the top and we tied alternating colored ribbon through the hole and wrote the names and tables on them...inexpensive, cute, and customizable for any colors. We are also having a table runner instead of a full overlay ontop of our white tablecloths in the two alternating shades of blue...you could do it with the green. Gives a pop of color without being too dark or heavy. You could always bring in shades of green...have your vases for your centerpieces filled with green apples or limes. Depending on what time of year youre getting married in there are a whole bunch of other ideas too! :D Good luck!

Some Ideas...
Center Pieces:
short square vases like 8x8 approx. 6-8" tall with White roses, use and 3" Hunter Green Satin Ribbon to "wrap" middle of the Vase, then use the same size ribbon and create a "spiral" across the center of the centerpiece and along the table. I saw this done with red roses and it was beautiful.
Recommendation - If you want to use darker Linens, use taller ceterpieces.
Seating:
Use White Chair Covers with a Hunter Green Sash.
also if you find it hard to decorate using your hunter and white color scheme, mix in other shades of green.
also check out martha stuart weddings website for ideas, she did and green color scheme a few issues ago and it was absolutely beautiful.
