Wedding Color Palette
So, we are FINALLY going to tackle some reader color palette dilemmas today. The first comes to us from Sarah, who is looking to do a slate grey and pink palette with touches of either gold or ivory. I chose to infuse the palette with ivory, as opposed to gold. Here is what I have come up with…
Grey dress by Loeffler Randall at Saks, Charcoal Suit by Ermenegildo Zegna on Brides, Pink Flowers by Modern Day Design, Invitation by Peculiar Pair Press, Tarnished Silver by Oh How Charming!, Flower Girl photo by Sarah Bussey
I actually chose to vary the shades of both the grey and the pink. The bridesmaids dresses are a light grey, paired with a bold pink flower. The groomsmen suits would be a slightly darker charcoal grey. Elements of rose and raspberry were brought in to add depth and dimension. If you use hues that are too similar, the end result will seem like blocks of color, rather than a cohesive palette.I would also suggest to Sarah, adding a vintage tarnished silver (as opposed to gold) to this palette.
I love that grey is the new chocolate brown. It brings a sense of sophistication to an event that screams elegance and style. So, if you are debating between chocolate and slate, try making a style board for each color. It will become instantly clear which hue is going to work for you!
We have a couple more palettes coming throughout the day, so check back soon!

Lovely. Grey and pink are two of my favorite colors.
Ordered some Jessica Rust mugs for our neighbors, just the gift I was looking for to celebrate their engagement!
Loving this palette! I can just see mercury glass vases filled with dusty millers and peony blooms...
While I love chocolate, and black will always be classic... I love that brides are stepping out and finding new colors to cement their palette... grey, charcoal, aubergene, slate blue...
Hi Sarah! I've done a post on pink, gray, and white before and it does have touches of soft gold. Perhaps this board will help! And I completely echo Danielle - get some mercury glass!

So pretty! I think that the Slate Gray can be so elegant and with touches of pink it just makes evey other coordinating color just pop!
This is so pretty! My wedding is in the early November and I was thinking of using charcoal aso one of the colors. How would you modify this palette for the fall?
Abby thank you so much for doing this! I love it! I am actually having my invitations ordered this week, and I am taking this board with me when I go. It is so subtle but still youthful and effortless... lovely!

yay gray! i'm using gray and green with pops of purple. but the room we're having dinner in is painted light yellow, i'm scared it may look like easter in there, can anyone allay my fears?
Oh I forgot to ask: do you have any table linen ideas? Thanks!
wow! i love this colour palette. i was thinking about to use chocolate brown....but green and gray looks so good here...table linens would look good in yellow...what do you think??
Thank you so much for posting this! I'm getting married in October and am planning on doing slate, ivory, and raspberry. This helped me to see how they may look together!
Thank you so much!
