    I am having a hard time deciding what color of flowers or other accent colors to go with my Shadow bridesmaid dresses? I need advice, can anyone help. Have you seen a bride with these color dresses, if so what did they do?

    I saw a picture on TheKnot of silvery/grey bridesmaids dresses with white, pink, and green flowers. So pretty!

    I think you could do just about any color. I've seen a lot of organge and gray actually. Pink would be really nice. Green is my favorite color so that definitely has my vote. Ooh, depending on how dark the dresses are maybe you could do a deep/light purple? For example: if they are a lighter gray you could do deep purple or if they are dark gray you could do lighter purple. I think any color you choose will look great because gray is a neutral and works with anything. Good luck!

    My maids are all wearing various grey dresses and we're accenting with pistachio green, rose pink, and white.

     

    I'm trying to decide between baby's breath bouquets or hydrangeas.

    It might sound odd, but the grey is really pretty with sunshiny yellow.  In my latest bridal magazine, grey is being billed as the new chocolate brown.  It's getting paired with everything.

    A while ago, Snippet and Ink had a gorgeous peach and grey inspiration board.  And I think there was a yellow and grey board recently as well.

    I usually don't even like pink, but that is my favorite pairing with gray.  I also think light purple.  I wore silver in a wedding, and we had multicolored bouquets.

    I'm getting married in June and my BM dresses are charcoal gray (Pewter)...so to "spring" it up, my three girls will each carry a different color Hydreanga bouquets -- one green, one blue and one purple (with sassy heels to match!) and then my bouquet will be a mix of the 3 with a little bridal white thrown in.  We don't really have a color theme, so we thought we'd have fun with the flowers.  I agree, though - Gray is a nuetral so anything will work!

    I'm having pewter, blush, sugar and sage.  I have most of those pics in the inspiration board above! haha 

    Some of my inspirations are below...

    I saw peach with the grey as well and I loved it!  Fushia would be fun or any shade of purple.
