Glamorous Gray

June 8, 2009 · Posted in color palette, inspiration boards, gray, purple by elizabeth

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?

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.

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.
