Gingham Pull

Green and Brown wedding reception...creativity block?

Country Wedding: Western mixed with old style country.
Green apples, white daisies... maybe white snap dragons or a green spray.
mason jars for vases
brown table cloth?
thought about wrapping mason jars in paper bag material and topping off with a small green Gingham Ribbon?...
this is where im stuck. The cake has Brown Ribbon going around each white layer. anything to put around it to pull the green?
WHITE, GREEN, and BROWN. any suggestions, ideas, or experience would help. Thanks!

I LOVE green apples as decor, they're cute and bright.
Jars for vases will work, but I wouldn't wrap them in paper. It reminds me of moonshine when I see a jar wrapped in paper. Use gingham, hemp or that ribbon that looks like grass (the name escapes me at the moment but I know I have a drawer full of it somewhere).
You can also make tin can lanterns, which are super cute. Start saving up tin cans, paint them whatever color you'd like, and punch holes in them with a finishing nail. Add Tea Light and voila. http://loganbibby.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/garden-lanterns.jpg
As for the cake...add a green flower to add a little pop. You can also use candied pears or something of the like. http://www.bvweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/green-and-brown-wedding-cake.jpg

Cute table toppers would be rustic-looking lanterns, etc. http://www.weddingstyle.ca/Favor%20Western%20Mini%20Lantern.JPG
If you're into ranching at all, silver horseshoe favors would be cute (or horseshoe jewelry for the bridesmaids).
