EDIT: Ok, cool, I see the poll now!
I like the idea of yellow for a summer wedding as I think the grey will be a bit too heavy. But I like grey dresses more. Sorry, I'm no use!!
I would have grey dresses with bright shoes, necklaces and flowers. Best of both worlds?
Also depends on your maids. Yellow can be a difficult colour for some girls to pull off.
You could do your MOH in one color and the other girls in the other, and maybe have sashes of the opposite color or something?
I prefer the yellow one though!
Those were the colors I used too! I did my MOH in yellow and the others in gray. I used a darker yellow, but here's a pic of our wedding party so you can see
Do the bridesmaids dresses look purple to anyone else?
LOVE the colours by the way. Yellow and grey are lovely together!
Gray is a neutral, much like a tan, white, or dark blue/black! I think it's totally fine for summer - I wear gray all the time in summer!
I love the color yellow, but I think it may be a hard color for people to wear. It makes some people look sickly. It may depend on your bridesmaids' skin tones as to which colors will look best.
I think gray is easier to wear and more likely to be worn again.
It's also more classic, and less likely to feel dated in a few years.
My vote is gray. That dress is beautiful!
Yellow is one of my favorite colors, but I love the gray/silver dress you posted as an example (I know that's not actually a contender for your bridesmaids' dress, but I really like it.) What is stopping me from saying gray is that you plan to have the groomsmen in gray. I am not a fan of a mostly gray wedding-color palette, as I don't think it will have enough color or contrast. Would you consider having all of the groomsmen in black, all of the bridesmaids' in gray, and having yellow represented strongly in your bridesmaids' bouquets and the men's boutineers?
@BerryBerry: They DO have a purple undertone which I almost panicked about when they came in, but ended up matching the gray ties perfectly!
Yea thats the thing, I REALLY love grey, the grey dress and my BM love the grey dress as well. But with grey groomsmen suit that I don’t want to change, it might seem very monotoned.
@taylor.ashleys: thanks so mich for the picture, it really did put things in a perspective. Thankfully all my girls are tanned so the yellow won’t wash them out too much.
Yellow is such a hard color for lots of people to wear. Even if they are tan, yellow clashes with a lot of hair colors, especially blonde. I would absolutely hate to have to wear yellow in a wedding. I would definitely put your girls in gray. With bright shoes, bright jewelry, and yellow bouquets, they should look plenty bright for summer.
I think grey would be nicer for your bridesmaids because it makes the dress more rewearable. However I think the light gray may not contrast enough with your dress.
I LOVE yellow dresses, but yellow is often hard for people to pull off, depending on their skin tone. If you want to do yellow and you are getting some complaints from people, maybe offer to do a "spa" day where you all go and get spray tans. They have them on Groupon a lot.
Okay so added info: the Chiavari chairs we are having are gold! Not sure if it will clash with the grey dresses ( I dont think so?)
We are muslim, so we will all be wearing hijab: hair colour is not an issue...only for two BMS and both are brunettes.
I loved the idea of buying my BMs dresses they can reuse. (The dresses will be our gift)
I would go with grey. As PP have said finding a shade of yellow that looks good on multiple people is really hard.
@garden_bride: Then I definitely vote for yellow! They will be gorgeous!
We picked grey dresses- the other colors are green and orange, which we'll use as strong accents (orange shoes!) Yellow can be a tricky color for women to wear, and grey has a better chance of being worn again, depending on the style.
Gray - it's much more flattering color for most people. And it will look great with bright yellow flowers.
I look ridiculous in yellow (it's not my hair, it's my skin) and I would never wear a yellow dress again. I prefer the grey!
I'm sort of traditional; grey is too close to black for me. So I would vote yellow; maybe you could do mismatched yellow gowns so each bridesmaid could find the right shade of yellow for her?
Keep in mind it can also be difficult finding a grey that would be equally flattering on a variety of skintones also.
Look what I found...the EXACT same yellow dress in a pretty shade....sign from God?
I agree with pp... Maybe you can use both colors, maybe MOH in one and BMs in another... Or maybe all in yellow with grey sashes or something?
thank you ladies...I seem to be more confused now. =( Maybe I should look into diff ideas for the groomsmen...or use both colours
So I am biased as I am doing a light yellow satin dress (the one above on the left) because ever since I saw Kate Hudson in that yellow dress in how to lose a guy in 10 days I fell in love with the idea. We are doing black tuxes with grey vests and my groom with a white tie and the groomsmen with either yellow or grey ties and a yellow pocket fold for all. The flowers also have peach and blush with pale yellow. Just figured I'd throw those ideas out there for you, I understand there is concern with the color working with different people but I'm crossing my fingers lol. Oh and my mom is wearing a medium grey dress (she is walking me down the aisle). Good luck!
@sweetbrandy: I can't see your picture! =( I know the dress you are talking about exactly! I love it so much too . I do really like your groomsmen ideas! Thanks so much
I think grey is much more flattering on a lot of people.
Hmm my iPad isn't cooperating with me on uploading pics - sorry, it's impression bridal 1713

The link will take you to a pic- now if you go to the imoression website it is really not accurate with the color chart, the real yellow is like the light yellow in the pic you recently showed or jasmines butter. Sorry couldn't get the pic to upload here.
I have decided to look in stores and give online dress shopping a rest - wish me luck! Hoepfully that will make the colour decision easier when you see it in person
can you do half and half?
Otherwise I think gray dresses, yellow shoes/flowers/accesories. That way you can incorporate both but you couldnt really do it the other way around (I've never seen gray flowers lol)

Hey Bees!
So I am having a yellow and grey summer garden themed wedding. (Ignore date next to my name.)
1. The groomsmen will be in grey suits trimmed in black (think lamar odom's wedding suit)2. FI will be in black tuxedo with bow tie
I fell in love with a grey dress but since it is a summer wedding, I am slowly liking yellow more. We are getting the dresses made. What do you guys think will look better? What dress do you like more?
