Glamorous Gray

I am in love with gray.  It is perhaps my favorite color to work with because it can be used with absolutely every color.  I’ve done a brown and gray board before and although the color scheme is similar in this board, the feeling is completely different.  Adding in just the slightest tinge of a mauve-y purple gives this board a completely glamorous and elegant feel.

Perfection for a winter wedding, oui?

E.

we heart your comments!

Yes, perfect for a winter wedding.

I love it! Who knew gray could be so chic? We did a gray and yellow inspiration board a while back and I just love how a tiny pop of color can make gray perfect for any season!

Oh how much do I love grey. Please don’t let it become trendy.

I never though about gray as a wedding color. But in the pictures it it looks beautiful. Great post thanks for the inspiration.

[...] out “Glamorous Gray”, where the color gray is shown is such a unique, elegant form. Say goodbye to thinking of gray as [...]

That could even be glamourous for a summer wedding. Light grey with chocolate brown.

I love gray and brown and the weather here is certainly all about that today!

I am absolutely in love with this inspiration board, but I am planning on an April wedding…would it be completely inappropriate to use these colors in a spring wedding?

Absolutely not Christina. I have no idea why people insist that certain colours can only be used at certain times of year. This is fabulous classic/timeless.

Perfect, season-less, gorgeous grey in all it’s glory! Beautiful. Wonderful board.

I really love this and am inspired to plan my entire wedding around this theme, but i am having a hard time envisioning flowers to accomplish what i want. I will probably do solid gray dupioni silk bridesmaid dresses with black sashes. i really love the grey, mocha, brown, almost plum and mauve but i don’t want to go too much in the plum/purple or pinkish direction. I like the black incorporated too and i love the idea of a touch of the black feathers here and there. Can you recommend any flower combos?

Hi Jessica! I would stick with snowy white flowers, maybe some freesia? And for sure use anemonies to add that darker color to the mix!
