You will stand out without a doubt in a white dress. I don't think you have to worry about punching up the colors because it is a summer wedding, sounds like your surroundings are going to be able to add the contrast you are looking for. Hi Gina,

Gray is such a neutral tone that I think you can probably pair anything with it. Bright yellow would be really great and would really pop against the gray. Someone else suggested a bright green which I think would also be great. My SIL used black for her BM dresses and had the flower girl in a really bright green. It was a summer wedding in SC and they used palms and other greenery for the decorations. I also saw a really great combo in a magazine that was charcoal gray and bright crimson. So pretty! Unfortunately it wouldn't work for me and the dress blue army uniforms the guys will be in. Maybe a little too wintery for the summer though.

It will go well with that greenery, plus it will pop with the grey. I saw an inspiration board on it recently, but I can't remember where! What about grey with a bright green?

I do like the idea of adding a sash to help contrast with the grey to make it stand out a bit more. And I will definitely use the flowers to add color as well...At this point, I'm thinking a variety of pinks (blush, mauve, orchids) and maybe I'll add in a very pale yellow to it as well...I think these colors will reflect us as individuals and as a couple. we're going for romantic, fun, and elegant with a modern twist (if that even makes sense).

Everything doesn't need to be matchy matchy, but a sash for the girls, some yellow daisies in the flowers peeking through, or even a large antique jug with yellow lemonade to be served at the cocktail hour. I think the pinks and yellows with a romantic grey will be beautiful! Yellow being one of your favorite colors would be a great flash of color.
