There’s nothing quite as chic as grey these days, when it comes to choosing a wedding color. It’s a great neutral base, without using peachy warm tones, and it’s definitely sophisticated. I even love the grey bridal gowns even – they’re sultry and unique without being too trendy.
In order to make grey feel less drab, though, you have to use some sort of color pop, whether it’s as simple as white or something a bit more fresh – like green. Both apple green, or deeper emerald and hunter shades work well with grey – and can reflect the season in which you wed. Consider lighter shades during spring and summer, and deeper emeralds in fall, and finish it off with velvety dark evergreens in winter.
The beauty of gray and green is that you can mix and match shades of each, and they still look fabulous together – creating texture, as well as a classic and clean look (or vintage, if you add enough flair of old world elegance, especially in floral and invitations). So you’re not stuck trying to match an exact palette, but are able to be free and a bit whimsical in choosing items for your day.
Even better, men and bridesmaids all look great in grey (green…another story), so you can be sure your bridal party will be happy with how they look for your photography. And flowers themselves, since there is so much greenery to start with, can end up being less expensive if you go with more foliage instead of blooms. It’s unique and tasteful all at once.
