5 Gorgeous Purple and Gray Wedding Ideas

When it comes to selecting colors for your wedding, it can be hard to decide on two primary colors along with accents. When selecting colors, you have to take all sorts of factors into consideration, including the time of year, flowers, your venue and the colors that are available for the bridal party. But, no matter if you are having a spring or fall wedding and no matter if it’s indoors or outdoors, two colors that always look great at a wedding are purple and gray. These two colors are very complimentary and can be changed to suit your personal style. Choose light purple and light gray for a spring wedding or go the charcoal gray and eggplant for richer jewel-tone colors for fall. If you’re planning on a purple and gray wedding, here are some ideas for incorporating these colors.

Though black suits are the classic color for the groom to wear, gray is increased in popularity. Very similar to the bridesmaid dresses, be sure to go with a lighter gray or a darker gray, depending on the season and the overall feel of your wedding. The purple tie really pops against the gray, doesn’t it?

3. Plenty of purple flowers!

Who says the bride’s shoes have to be white? Purple bridal shoes are a cute and subtle way to incorporate purple into your wedding. For a more gray tone, wear silver sparkly shoes!
