An Emerald-Colored Bridesmaid with a Natural Bouquet

The color green had been one of Maria’s favorite colors since she was little because her great grandmother loved green, also, and used to live in a big green house. “I never called her by her first name,” Maria says. “She was known to me as ‘grandma in the green house.’” Maria was happy to use the color in her bridesmaids dresses to honor her great grandmother's memory.
