Shades of Grey for Your Wedding Day
I’m not sure when I started liking the color grey. I remember just a few years ago thinking grey was a dull color lacking in personality and style. But more recently I have started seeing grey in a new light- a color that is subtle, yet sophisticated. I started wearing more grey as an alternative to black, and I even bought a grey car! This got me wondering, could grey work for a wedding day?
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. You want your wedding to stand out and pop, not blend into the background. And before you even start envisioning a dark day with gloomy bridesmaid dresses and funeral decor, let me stop you. I’m not thinking a wedding entirely done in muted tones, but I do think grey would look beautiful when coupled with a bolder color. Imagine hot pink or ice blue with a beautiful, silvery grey. That is sounding a lot better. So as you sit down to pick your wedding’s theme, don’t discount the color grey. It may be just the touch of elegance you’re looking for.
Here are some ways to incorporate the color into your wedding day:
Beautiful invitations done in a grey, silver color
Grey tux for the groom

Pink cocktails with grey accented glasses
There is so much more to do with this color palette! What do you think?




Let me just tell you that my cousin did a grey and orange wedding last summer…our dresses were steal grey with black tuille over it, the flowers were white orchids and orange callas, grey and orange ribbons were strewn about the place…i’ll try to dig up some pictures. it was lovely and i was thinking the other day i’d want grey maids.
I would have to agree. I went to a friends wedding where the bridesmaid dresses were grey satin with velvet ribbons and the grooms looked similar to your picture above. Then, she accented with bright flowers. It looked great in the candlelight ceremony…..very distinguishing!
I am in the process of planning a steel grey wedding and orange on new years eve 2008 and yes I need help…. my dress is grey and by the way this not my first wedding
