Accessories for gray bridesmaids dresses

katrinad1 · October 2013

My BMs are wearing gray one shoulder floor length dresses. I have no idea what color accessories they should wear. None of them are into pearls. I would like something elegant, but trendy. Maybe shoes and earrings with a pop of color? Any ideas would help!!! Thanks!

My bridesmaids wore gray.

I let them choose whatever accessories they wanted. I actually have no clue what they wore. *searches phone for pictures*. Okay most wore gray or silver jewelry with silver shoes. We had a pop of bright pink in the bouquets.

Flowers will be their colorful accessories, unless they wear colorful pashminas. Nobody notices BM shoes or jewelry.

This is what I'm doing. My BMs are wearing a gray, strapless floor-length dress. Their shoes will be their choice as will their jewelry. Their flowers will be all coral in a bunch, so it will be their pop of color.

I don't think anyone will notice their jewelry. But if they're looking for suggestions, I always like chandelier earrings with one shoulder styles. Also, a hair clip/piece in your wedding colors would look pretty.

PPs are right - add color through your bouquets!

agree to have them wear their own jewelry and use flowers to add the pop of color.

If you choose for them to wear the same jewelry and or shoes you should foot the bill. Keep in mind not everyone has the same taste in jewelry & shoes so be careful not to waste your money. I did buy my girls diamond/amethyst bracelets but I did not care if they wore them for the wedding, and since I got them on sale I did not mind spending the money. I think 3 of the 5 wore it. Its much nicer to let them pick a shoe they will be comfortable in as well. My girls all wore there own silver shoe and it looked great-- no one will notice they are not matchy-matchy and really, people who do notice will like that you let your girls be themselves.

I'm doing the same as many others posted - gray dresses, but my girls can pick out their own shoes and accessories. I'm not doing matching dresses...they are each picking out their own dress as well. I'm going with purple flowes for color.

What are your wedding colors? When is your wedding?

Silver, crystals, or if you want to go bold, red

My wedding is in April. I'm doing gray dresses with yellow flowers. My BMs seem to like the idea of yellow shoes. I'm buying the jewelry for them as part of their gifts.

Jewelry that is meant to be worn as part of their wedding day outfit should not be considered a gift. A gift should be something that your girls are able to use whenever they want to and jewelry that is required piece of their wedding day attire does not fit into that definition.

Also, I hope you are paying for the yellow shoes for them. 90% of women will have little use for yellow shoes ever again after your wedding and it's a very specific request.

A neutral like black or nude or a metallic like silver or gold is much more universal.

At my friend's wedding, the bride let us (the bridesmaid) choose a short black dress of our choosing. She then picked out gorgeous purple suede heels for us that she also wore. It was really beautiful - added some colour and made our look more cohesive.

We each wore jewelry of our choosing. We all chose silver. It's true that people don't notice the jewelry very much, but if you put some thought in it it can add a layer a style. I'd say if you want to have a statement necklace, then it's probably better if your bridesmaids don't - some could have drop earrings, others chunky bracelets, and others very simple necklaces. Anyway, that's that I think! Also, I don't agree with what a previous person said that if it's mandatory apparel then it can't be part of the gift - if you choose the same necklace for each of them, then maybe it's not a very thoughtful gift but if you choose jewelry to fit each bridesmaid's personality and style, then I think it can be a gift.

I think long gray dresses call for a dressier shoe. Perhaps silver. I think that yellow shoes would look silly. Unless maybe if they were strappy sandals. I do love gray and yellow together though.
