Oak trees have long been symbolic of strength and courage, and for a wedding motif it has come to represent the strength of the couples relationship. The ancient Romans even associated the oak tree with the Goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage, so it's no wonder an oak is a popular element in weddings today.

Colour palette: Green and brown are a beautiful colour combination for a wedding - especially one with an outdoor element.
