Looking for green party decor ideas that go beyond balloons? Sage lanterns, emerald tablecloths and leafy backdrops give you plenty to choose from.
There are little details for your dinner table here too, including green candles and the cutest plant favors.
You can keep it simple or go all out. Pick a shade you love, then decide whether you want a few green touches or greenery hanging overhead!
Green Party Decorations Worth Saving
sage lanterns and little stars
How cute is this baby shower table? I love the green lanterns mixed with cream fans and little gold-colored stars. The greenery at the upper corners makes the backdrop even prettier.
Try a sage runner over a white tablecloth, then arrange your treats on stands of different heights to follow this setup.
leafy runner and floating candles
Don’t want to cover your whole table? No problem!
This narrow white runner leaves plenty of the brown tabletop showing, with rounded green leaves spilling down the middle.
The floating candles in tall clear cylinders are my favorite part. Keep the greenery outside the candle holders if you try this arrangement.
emerald cocktail table
I am obsessed with this deep emerald green. The long tablecloth gathers at the bottom while a small dark vase of white flowers keeps the top simple.
If you’re collecting green decor ideas for party tables, this is a lovely place to start. You don’t need a big centerpiece when you love the table color this much.
branches in clear jars
If you are looking for something simple to arrange, this one is for you. Long leafy branches stand in clear jars down the white table, with gold-colored chargers at each place.
Leave a little space between your jars rather than making one continuous garland. Those upright stems are pretty all on their own.
green and white streamers
This graduation backdrop is such a fun way to fill a plain wall. Alternating green and white twisted streamers hang behind the dessert table, with graduation-cap cutouts at the top.
Try the same color combination behind your cake table. Add dark green fans near the ends if you want to follow this setup.
tropical leaf backdrop
If you want to go all out with greenery, then this one is for you. Large tropical leaves frame the green backdrop, with white birthday lettering near the top.
I love the two log-shaped stands in front. You could use similar stands to display small arrangements while leaving the middle open for photos.
disco balls among the vines
Who says greenery has to stay on the table? This overhead display is filled with trailing vines and mirrored disco balls in different sizes. I am obsessed with that mix!
For a smaller version, ask your venue about an approved hanging display above one area, such as the dance floor.
green tapers and white flowers
This may just be one of my favorite tables here. I love the tall green candles with green glass candlesticks and folded napkins.
The white flowers look so pretty tucked among the green blooms.
Try mixing a few shades of green instead of matching every piece exactly. Keep the taller stems clear of any candle flames.
little green layer cakes
How pretty are these little cakes? The smooth green tops, pale curved decorations and tiny flowers make them part of the party display too.
Show this picture to your baker if you want a similar look. A plain white platter lets all those little details show.
sage checks and leafy napkins
The checkered tablecloth is so cute in this setup. White flowers and fern fronds fill the middle, with leafy sprigs tucked into the tied napkins.
I especially love the patterned plates. Try mixing those with striped napkins like these if you want something a little different from an all-solid table.

textured green letters
Want to add a personal detail to your party decor? These large letters have a moss-like green covering that makes them look different from a plain printed sign.
You could use this idea for initials or a short birthday message. Display the finished letters above a dessert table so they have their own little spot.
oversized leaf placemats
Don’t want a big floral centerpiece? No problem there!
These oversized leaf-shaped placemats bring plenty of green to the table without one.
The clear plates and cups let the leaf shapes show through. Keep your table covering plain if you want to try the same combination.
hanging leafy hoops
I love these leafy hoops hanging beside the white drapes. The open centers and loose stems make the whole display look so pretty without being packed with decorations.
Hang yours at different heights from a suitable support to follow this arrangement. A small grouping could make a lovely backdrop behind your cake.
green ombre cake
This cake is proof that you don’t need a big topper. The pale green frosting has darker green bands around the sides, with a simple swirl on top.
I’d keep this just as it is. The round bark-edged stand and greenery around the base are enough decoration for the cake table.
sage napkins and gold details
If you love a little gold with your green, save this table. The sage runner and knotted napkins sit beside gold-colored chargers with curved, open edges.
Those tall gold-colored bottles are gorgeous too. Try small sprays of white flowers in yours rather than adding another large arrangement.

green apples in a tall vase
Looking for a centerpiece without flowers? This tall clear vase filled with green apples is such a simple idea.
I love how the slightly different shades show through the sides.
You could place a version of this on a buffet or drinks table where it won’t block the view across dinner.
sage chair ties
Don’t forget the chairs! These white chair covers have sage green ties gathered at the back, with long ends hanging down.
The little white flower sprigs tucked above the knots are my favorite detail. If you recreate this, keep the trailing ends out of walkways.
little succulent favors
How adorable are these little plant favors? Each pot has a pointed brown wrapper and a simple string bow.
The different succulent shapes make them even cuter together.
You could arrange them near the exit with a small invitation for guests to take one home.
round tables in a winding row
This is such a pretty way to arrange a garden party. The green-covered round tables sit in a winding row, with flowers running through the center of each one.
I love the peach and pink blooms mixed into all that green. If your space allows a similar layout, leave enough room around the chairs for guests to move.
shamrocks in the trees
Last but definitely not least, we have this all-out St. Patrick’s Day setup. Leafy garlands stretch between the trees, with shamrocks, green checked ribbons and little banners hanging below.
There’s so much to love overhead that the lawn stays mostly open. Try a smaller grouping above your party area if you want a little of this same festive look.
