Hating colors

I am a neutral color LOVER, but I am getting married in the spring and everyone thinks it should be colorful. I would love to do just white and greenery because I think that it is simple and elegant, but what does the bridal party wear?? Obviously they can’t wear white, so I was thinking silver/ grey, but they all hate it and think the dress color makes it seem like they’re going to a funeral. Thoughts?? Attached is one of my inspiration pics but no green dresses Hating colors 1

I love the Inspo pics ! They should go with grey if that’s what you want -.- another idea is maybe more of a beige? Or a green like the one in the pic is lovely also

I was a bridesmaid in a summer wedding and we wore a little darker grey dresses than that pic. I think it's a nice color, its your day whatever you want them to wear they should !

Love these colors! Would you be opposed to accenting with gold? Gold bridesmaids dresses could be beautiful! Check out this wedding I found! The bridesmaids dresses look to be sort of gold-ish/tan.

Our colors are light gray, white and silver. I'm also a neutral color lover and getting married in August. I don't like a lot of color. I think white and gray are really elegant together and our centerpieces have little greenery to them. I would just do what you want, it's your wedding. Who cares if people don't think it's springy enough, people choose dark colors in summer and it still turns out great.

I absolutely love your inspo picks! Your bridal party might have feelings about the colors, but it is YOUR day and your decision, when it all comes down to it. You are very sweet for considering their feelings, but it would suck to not do what you want and then regret it later on. They can choose the BM colors for their weddings. Your theme feels very spring-y to me, honestly. You don't need color pop to be spring. You have the green, and the gray reminds me of the relaxing, rainy spring days.

I love the thought of the gray representing a relaxing, rainy day, and I am definitely going to use that if they say something about the colors again because I think that’s beautiful!

Honestly, me too, and I considered just doing white, but then I decided that I really want to be the only one wearing it and to stand out in pictures

I love your inspiration pics. Just because your girls don’t like gray doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have it. It’s your day and it will be beautiful. Besides there are so many shades of gray.

I like your color palette as well, but maybe a blush pink/nude/taupe color would work as well. Depending on the hue, blush can be very neutral.

How is grey a funeral color?! I love the grey dresses!!! I understand they don’t want to pay for a dress in something they hate...but it’s your day. If you want grey, go with grey.

That would be pretty as well. I still don’t get how gray and silver are funeral colors and agree they would be elegant, but I’m sure there is an neutral shade that will make everyone happy.

Very pretty! I'm doing neutral as well! My bridesmaids will wear the color Biscotti from Davids Bridal. Groomsmen will be in blue suits. It's your wedding! If you like the grey, do that! They can get over it

I think you should choose a Metallic color to go w your scheme (silver, gold, bronze, copper) and find bridesmaid dresses that match that. The dresses don’t have to be metallic but silver = grey, gold = beige or yellow, bronze or copper = orange.
Also what about black?
Spring weddings don’t HAVE to be colorful. I love neutral weddings and think if you want it then go for it.

I actually had my bridesmaids wear white and i absolutely loved it. Obviously do what your comfortable with. I do think silver or maybe champagne colored dresses could be pretty too!! Or, maybe do green colored dresses and white flowers?

That is gorgeous! I also thought about doing like a sage green, but all of my bridesmaids are pretty fair skinned so I am concerned about how it will look on them because I’ve only seen pictures of very tan women wearing that color

The metallic theme would go great with my venue because it is very industrial, but my fh hates the decorations I’ve picked out that are metallic 😐😕
