Gray Bridesmaids Dresses--now gray groomsmen?

Kendra, on December 19, 2016 at 8:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12

When we were doing our initial planning, my FH was sure he wanted to wear a black tux. Fast forward a few months--my four bridesmaids have all ordered their dresses in a lovely mercury (lightish gray). My FH went tux shopping this past weekend with his best man and tried on a gray tux--he said he really liked it and now is thinking he wants to wear gray (as well as all the groomsmen).

If my girls hadn't already all ordered their dresses, I might say switch the bridesmaid dress color and have the groomsmen wear gray (I do love the look of a gray suit). But that's not an option. So--has anyone ever seen gray bridesmaid dresses next to gray groomsmen? Any other suggestions?

    Do you have Pinterest? I just searched this on there and found a bunch of lovely wedding parties where they were all in shades of gray. It looked very nice!

    You could add pops of color in the jewelry, bouquets, and ties, or varying shades of gray on the groomsmen Smiley smile

    I think grey on grey with a super bright colored bouquet would be gorgeous! (Even colored shoes if the dresses are short!)

    I'm doing gray for my color too. My girls are going to be in a lighter gray, and the guys are going to be in a charcoal gray. I think the contrast will look nice. Plus, the bouquets will add pops of color. I'm really excited about it. Even if it's the same shade, like others have said jewelry and flowers (and even shoes!) could help to add some color.

    Everyone in gray would look so pretty with a pop of color in the bouquets and/or vests!

    We did all gray. The BMs all picked their own dresses and the guys their own suits. Some people may not like the mismatched look, but I think my BP party looked amazing.

    I'll be UO here but I think it can be tricky to pull off. If not done well, it reads a little "school uniform meets funeral" to me...would your FH consider navy? Or keep him in a charcoal and have the guys in navy?
