Struggling with Coral and Grey Wedding Decor

Victoria, on May 8, 2014 at 10:17 AM Posted in Style and Décor 0 10

My FH and I really enjoy the color coral--it is the one color I ever receive compliments wearing (even though I won't be wearing it that day). He also wants to add pops of yellow. I am struggling with finding inspiration for this color scheme. I have stalked pinterest like crazy. I think my main problem is we will be putting together our own centerpieces (we are on a somewhat tight budget and I am really not interested in spending thousands of dollars on flowers that will die a week later (I do want real flowers-just not from an expensive vendor). I still have a while until my wedding, but I think part of my problem is that I need to get revamped and excited again about this exciting moment in my life. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!

    I had coral in my color scheme as well, but ended up changing my mind...when I was looking for inspiration, I found myself being drawn to the way jewel toned flowers complimented the coral and made it pop against the bridesmaids dresses. The arrangements had a base color of that orangey-pink flowers with the bright purples, yellows, blues and greens mixed in. I think its one of those colors that is best compliments with a couple others.

    Grey and coral are in my wedding too! The turquoise ocean in Mexico will be a nice complement to our wedding colors. Have you designed your invitations? You might get excited again if you work on something tangible.

    Here is a pin I have on my board. You may have seen it during your search.

    This is a table setting that you might like. Simple, but the pop of coral on grey is really fun!

    Coral & grey are my colors too! We are really doing shades of grey and pops of coral. Table cloths & napkins will be grey with a coral table runner, centerpiece flowers will be white hydrangea with coral roses, bridesmaid dresses will be coral.. Maybe look at paint swatches to see if yellow fits into your vision for coral and grey. It would be very spring looking!

    Thank you! Seeing these pictures is starting to get me excited again! I hope it does the same for OP. I'm going to do grey bridesmaid dresses so the flowers will accent and I might have them wear coral statement necklaces.

    You all are amazing! I knew I would find other brides using coral and grey! Mina, I did not see that spread in my search, so thank you! We have already completed our invites (my FH is a wedding photographer and is doing a trade for part of them and we are getting a discount on the other half--he is photographing the designers collection so our invites are going to be a part of the shipment). Because we had to do the invite so early we were able to get a sense of the coral shade we wanted (more the bright pinkish-orange). We are getting married in January, but want the wedding to still reflect our fun relationship rather than the darker colors you would normally expect in the winter. I really like the idea of grey with pops of coral in the table so it isn't so IN YOUR FACE with brightness.

    Coral and grey are my colors too! The ladies will be in coral, the guys in a light grey. I love this color mix together! I just started planning so sorry I can't be of more help with inspiration and ideas.
