Gray BM dresses + Gray suits = too much GRAY??

Hi ladies,

I'm down to the wire and need to order bridesmaid dresses asap. Our groomsmen will be wearing dark charcoal gray suits. My bridesmaids and I found some charcoal gray dresses that we LOVE, but I'm wondering if it will be TOO MUCH GRAY?


Their bouquets will be pretty colorful (wine, pink and ivory flowers). My sister said to add a pop of color with the shoes and jewelry... but I'm wondering if it will look weird - like I tried to match the grays exactly. We saw pretty light gray ones that would help break up the charcoal look, but the girls said the color washed their skin out.

Hmm what to do!?
If you find any pics of an all charcoal gray wedding party, please post them! Smile

Here is the charcoal gray dress color (But the girls would get short).

    [QUOTE]I think both sides in gray will look great. I don't see any differently than if you paired black dresses with black suits.  KWIM?

    I thought the same thing. I started questioning it after one of my bridesmaids said I should be careful with the grays being different tones...kinda like we tried to match exact grays but failed. (Unlike a light gray & dark gray - the contrast would be more obvious).

  • My wedding party is wearing gray BM's dresses and gray suits. The girls will have bright pink bouquets and the boys have hot pink ties. I think it will look great! Ive seen many wedding parties dresseed in all black and it looked good so I dont see why it would be any different with all gray. What colour of shoes are your girls wearing?
