    Hello I am in the process of picking out a shawl as a gift for my bridesmaids.

    My dress is Ivory Alencon lace.

    Their dresses are a variety of styles, jcrew, in the fawn colour (see picture):

    These are their bouquets:

    I need help picking a colour for a shawl to form part of their bridesmaid gift. There are two options.

    #1 - Ivory

    or

    #2 - Grey

    I am also giving them a multistrand Ivory pearl bracelet.

    What do you think would match better the grey or the ivory? Or do you think I should forget about the shawls and get a clutch for them instead?

    Thanks for the help!

    I'm remember looking at the jcrew fawn color, and I'm not sure grey would match--fawn has some gray in it, but also a little brown, and I think it could just look too muddy if it isn't matched closely, so I voted for ivory. I love your flowers though--maybe you could pull another color from there? a dusty blue or blushy pink color would work for the pashminas?

    Definitely ivory.  Your color palatte is gorgeous.  I love muted earth tones, and your dresses with the bouquet are perfection! wow, so pretty!
