Weddings by Color {Yellow & Gray}

Even though at times it may seem as if a couple has hit a gray area, just remember the sun will shine on eventually!

While these colors may stand out, they also come together, maintaining a sense of grace and style. 

Many may say that this color palette may not look good together but there are many appealing ideas that you can use to bring these colors to life. 

Embracing gray and yellow in all aspects of your stationery can be classy, retro, and/or elegant.

Taking a look at your bridal party and spreading yellow and gray throughout is a way to keep this color palette alive and fresh. Bridesmaids could wear yellow dresses and use gray in their accessories and flower bouquets, or they wear gray dresses with touches of yellow in their bouquets and yellow accessories. This will send a striking look against whatever color of white your bridal gown is.
