A grey wedding??? color help needed!

Ok I am seriously considering grey bm's dresses for a June wedding! Is that crazy? I really like the idea of like a slate grey with really bright flowers and accents. There are so many options....green, yellow, pink, purple!
Then, if I do that, should I do the grooms/groomsmen in black still? I wouldn't do EVERYONE in grey. But I thought maybe grey for the guys and then do a color for the girls!
Ah, Idk! haha. I'm so indecisive!

    I love that idea! I am doing silver BM dresses with bright pink shoes and flowers for a May wedding.

    My colors are grey and yellow for my September 5th (still summer really) wedding.  My bridesmaids are wearing grey dresses from jcrew with really vibrant bouquets and yellow shoes.  The groomsmen are wearing grey suits.  I LOVE grey however so I am a bit biased.  I think it looks great with everything and can be super elegant.

    I love the idea of grey. I also think they guys will be fine in black still. I mean black and grey clearly go together. 
    I love grey with yellow and white. I think it is clean and fresh. 
    Just my opinion.

    I generally tend to go with the notion that if you like it and your FI is no completely opposed to it then go for it. If you love it then do what will make you happy.

    Good luck and have fun!

    I love grey and blush/pink together. Here is a pic of the combo on a dining room table. It might give you some ideas about shades.

    Our colors were charcoal grey, shamrock green & white. My bridesmaids wore a grey dress w/ a green sash (pic below) and carried all white tulips and I think it all looked great together! And our wedding was in April - so I think as long as you have a bright color to go with the grey - it's fine.  

    But I'm starting to love the grey, yellow an white combo a lot lately!! Looks so clean!

    Are you kidding?  That's a very chic wedding color scheme!  Just make sure that the other color you choose to go with your gray really pops out.  Pairing gray with a pastel would look too drab.  Typically I've seen bright yellows and rich purples done.

    I think the groomsman would look fine in gray. You could do a really bright vest and tie color underneath. I love the pic of the gray dress with the sash that someone posted. So pretty.

    Also, just so you know, if you are looking for your guys to rent a gray suit or tux you won't be able to find one in Cincy...believe me, I looked! I wanted our guys in gray suits and there is no place to rent them - only purchase. We ended up putting our guys in black tuxes w/ charcoal gray vests & ties and it looked good together (see pic below - sorry to post so many pics - but I'm a visual person so I like to see pics before making up my mind!).

    I am getting married in June and my BMs are wearing a charcoal gray dress and black shoes.  GMs are wearing black tuxes with charcoal gray ties/vests. 

    Our accent color is chartreuse (bright, spring green) and that will show up in the flowers (centerpieces, bouquets, etc.) and the paper products.  But other than that pop of color, our wedding will be gray, white and black.

    I am doing grey and different shades of pink, mainly pink pink for our June wedding! I LOVE the combo! I am having a hard time deciding on shoes for the girls though!
