Yellow and Grey Wedding Ideas; Pantone Colour of The Year 2021

It’s 2021 and as nothing has been normal for a while, so why should Pantone stick to just one colour for its colour of the year? Instead, they’ve released two! ‘Illuminating’ and ‘Ultimate Grey’ are “two independent colours that highlight how different elements come together to support one another” The perfect way to describe 2020/2021. As always we now wait in anticipation to see all the complimentary wedding products that will launch into the wedding industry to allow us to create a beautifully styled wedding where these colours will be the focus. It’s the perfect colour combination for all season weddings. Here we take a look at some of our favourite yellow and grey wedding ideas and show you how you can add them to your own wedding day…

Styling

When it comes to styling your yellow and grey wedding, there are lots of different options out there. This contrasting colour combination is bold and unapologetic, so if you’re looking to make a statement then these colours are for you. For a spring-summer wedding, use bright yellows against pastel greys. For a more autumn winter vibe, use mustard shades and smouldering tones. It’s definitely a colour combination that can fit into many themes. Here are just a few ideas of how you could include it in your styling for the big day.

Stationery

Your stationery is the first thing your guests will see so make it stand out, using your wedding colours as the focus. Use bright yellow with a smouldering grey for a bold and vibrant look and feel, or muted tones if you’re going for a more classic luxurious look. We love these designs, and they truly show the scope you can have when it comes to using these colours and moulding them to your theme.

Using different tones of yellow and grey within your flowers can make the statement you want for your wedding day. Brighten up your grey styling with a pop of colour when it comes to your bouquet and buttonholes. They can be mixed with dried flowers and feathers for an autumnal wedding, or how about dried rose buds for an alternative, ethical, wedding day confetti.
